World Cup Discussion Thread - Day 18 (1 July)

[vuzp]

sorry ok they are the hosts, but terrible seeing Russia in to the next round, never wanted to play football all game,
ok Spain didn't help themselves but only one team played today

 

[Bus-Conductor]

Suicide by a thousand cuts...

 

[Indisguise]

I honestly think we're in the final now.

 

[fluffybunnyuk]

oh my word!!!! Russia through. Come on England this side of the draw has opened up beautifully.

 

[Danners9]

Blimey. Incredible. Russia looked knackered but their pens were excellent.

 

[Annabel]

Cannot believe this world cup

 

[VegasII]

This tournament will go down as the last great summer World Cup.

Lol, well everyone will probably die of heatstroke at the next one.

 

[glacierSpurs]

Russia deserves to go through.

 

[Riandor]

Yes yes yes!!!
Boring boring Spain deservedly go home!!

 

[ShaunL84]

What an awful world cup, the quarter finals and semi finals are going to be so tinpot.

 

[DFF]

That's the point. When it's come to holding, the VAR hasn't overturned the referees decision once. They've stuck with it.

But they haven’t given it. But they bloody well should. It would go a good ways to reducing the inconsistency between different refs

More memorable moments so far from this World Cup than '06, '10 and '14 put together.

 

[SpursD22]

It’s crazy that one of Russia, Croatia, Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland, Colombia and England will be in the final

 

[gilzeantheking]

I want to see Cesc's salty tears

 

[tobi]

Great save.

Damn.

 

[dondo]

Play Dier and get him to man mark Modders.

Thought Dier was pretty poor the other night vs Belgium tbh, I would stick with Henderson

 

[Sandros Shiny Head]

I don't know how anyone can hate the way Russia played today. They never timewasted or kicked lumps our of Spain, they just defended because that's all they needed to do.

 

[VegasII]

Hmm, might have to look at some of the betting odds for some of these teams.

 

[LSUY]

Lol, well everyone will probably die of heatstroke at the next one.

That's being held in November, isn't it?

Awful? This has been a fantastic World Cup.

Who wants to see the same old powers dominate again? Boring. This is exciting and utterly engrossing. Hopefully Brazil go out now to make it really interesting.
