World Cup Discussion Thread - Day 2 (15 June)

[Rocksuperstar]

tbf, Egypt's keeper didn't show himself up at all, worked his balls off

 

[Riandor]

God bbc comms sound so disappointed Egypt lost

Well Egypt were the underdog...

In Germany it’s similar, they’re saying Uruguay deserved the win in so far as chances, but that it was a rubbish match and disappointing for Egypt, given they were so close to a decent draw.

Frankly I thought Uruguay save for a few moments were gash. Godin looked like the only one who cared/took it seriously enough.

 

[Shadydan]

Godin my MOTM today. Best CB in the world

Gimenez had a immense game too and I’m not saying that because he scored

Bentancur also really good. Bossed that midfield

Put Godin in a high line and prepare to laugh.

You could say that about so many players. He’s shown for years that he’s the best CB in the world + he’s not as slow as people might think

No he hasn't. You could argue for days over him plus a few others.

He's slow, he looks great because of the teams he plays for and how they're setup around him, I'm not saying he isn't a great defender but saying he's the best is not as cut and dry as people make out.

I’m sorry but you have no clue of what you’re talking about. He’s been WC since 2012, and has been the best since 2013. I watch around 30 Atletico games every year, I know what I’m talking about.

And please say who’s better than him then

Had that down as a draw. Terrible match.

He’s not slow for a CB. The fact that Atletico and Uruguay has build the defence around him says a lot. Just look at Atletico defensive records over the years, he’s been a key part of that

No, you're alright. I've no desire to spam a thread up endlessly arguing over who's the best defender in the world thanks. It's fanboy stuff best left to FIFA console game forums.

You're not telling me anything I didn't know, all I'm saying that it's debatable that he's the 'best CB in the world' as you put it.

 

[cider spurs]

Is Lineker actually a puppet? Put your fucking hands down for 2 seconds

Not gonna happen. He's got to keep his hands up and mobile at all times...ready for action should another attempt to steal his crisps.

Feckin shite game, Suarez could have given me a little credibility in the 'World Cup predictor' thread, but no, one expects I'm in relegation form already. Ballbag.

On a closing note... That potential Arsenal signing fella Terriera is a tiddler for a DM.

Wiki has him at 1.68m or 5' 6" if you prefer.

Little tiddler.

 

[cwy21]

Why name Salah on the bench when you wont even use him?

It's the World Cup. All 12 players are on the bench. You're not limited to 7.

Same height as Kante

And now over to <sigh> ITV for the Iran-Morocco match.

"Iraan chekaaresh meekoneh? Soorakh, soorakhesh meekoneh!"

Come on Iran! Shirdelaan!

 

[tiger666]

Iran v Morocco

This match will go down in history.

It's an epic confrontation between two of the giants of the international game

 

[Shadydan]

Giggs with the top bantz

 

[tiger666]

I quite like Bilic. Apart from being tainted by West Ham. I like listening to him.

Yeah he's great IMO

Nail on the when he spoke about England, said we only focus on the negative moments as a country and we expect to fail - it's a British mentality and just backs up what Kane said about how we're mentally weak as a nation.
