World Cup Discussion Thread - Day 6 (19 June)

[Kingellesar]

Liverpool fans will be out in full force tonight cheering on Salah. Some of the stuff on the Liverpool forums about Kane is pathetic. But then they are pathetic, probably getting tired of finishing below us despite having the best manager in world football and the best player in the universe to ever exist.

If he doesn’t score at this tournament does that mean he isn’t world class?

0/2 today ... I backed Egypt for this next one, so if you want to change your bets, do it now!

Need both Brillo head and Cheryshev to score tonight

The red card in the first did for me and it's been down hill ever since.

Better luck tomorrow I hope!!

Senegal in pole position in Group H now, think they're stronger than Japan. Fun games so far today

Poland is basically the reason FIFA has changed their ranking formula starting this month.

Them plus Switzerland who are currently 6th.

Fuck me, what a balls up. What was Szczesny doing out there?

 

[Marty]

Nah that whole sequence was screwed. A sub was made and the 4th official held up the board(granted, it wasnt for Niang). Then they went back on making the sub even though the 4th official clearly held up the board. Then the ref waved Niang back on when Poland did not have clear possession and the ball was being cleared. Shouldnt have been waived back on at that point. Poor from Sczeseny but also shocking from the officiating crew.

Disagree. Poland are in possession and if Krychowiak doesn't make a totally unnecessary suicidal back pass over his defender then there's no issue. Niang was waved on with the ball a long way away from him and not looking likely to go to him any time soon.

BC still on dial up?

BC still on dial up?

He's a few hours behind the rest of the world. Wait until he hears we've just re-signed Kyle Walker on a 10 year deal.

Did H get this treatment in the BBC coverage last night?

[Deleted member 27995]

Pretty entertaining opening 5.

 

[tiger666]

COME ON RUSSIA

 

[Shadydan]

Not a fan of Russia at all but it's important that the hosts stay in the tournament as long as possible.
