World Cup Discussion Thread - Day 24 (7 July)

[Danners9]

Ha..

we missed most of the build up to that. They had to show Infantino and his guests.

 

[TheHoddleWaddle]

Enjoyable game this. For a neutral.

 

[Marty]

Well ... that looked a bit easy. Are Russia flagging already?

Mandzukic had all the time in the world to pick the pass.

 

[Ekmek]

Great ball from Mandzukic but also bad defending.

 

[teok]

Nobody is going to bring up the fact that this entire Russian team is almost certainly doping? Get on it English media.

Every one knows it.

 

[SdB]

awful defending

 

[Marty]

That was just a tad two-footed from Perisic. Lucky for him he didn't make proper contact.

 

[Ekmek]

Question for yis.. if you could get Rakitic for between 45-60mil would you want him at Spurs?

Thats a no brainer of course!

Of course, but we can't.

 

[fridgemagnet]

Woof. 1-0 Struck that like Ron Jeremy's cosh snapping an intact hymen!

<Edit>

Oooh 1-1

 

[teok]

What we do want from an eng perspective is lots of yellows for the croats.

 

[Shadydan]

Given we are hardly scoring from open play I'd disagree

We're winning that's what matters.

 

[goughie1966]

I don't care who we get. We can beat either. I'd like lots of bookings, extra time and penalties in this just to tire them out a bit before meeting us.

 

[LSUY]

Still not sure who I would prefer England to play next! Russia should be easier, but at home! Croatia should be harder but won't just sit and defend most the time.

I'm leaning towards Russia simply because I want England to click and do to Russia what the Germans did to Brazil in 2014. It would be hilarious to see Putin's face as we thumped them.

Some reds as well right at the end when winning by 2 or 3 will help, maybe some injuries also.....not asking for much there!

Also extra time would be good!

I fear for any team that knocks Russia out though! And could see the riots after if it was England.

Every one knows it.

Wait until Qatar make the quarters in 4 years

 

[SdB]

We're winning that's what matters.

Against rubbish opposition

Someone tell Levy to get on blower so..right offer Barca will sell as part rebuild
