Right, I've decided. These cunts are far worse than Messi. Las islas - malvinas - son argentinas.
His every touch of the ball brings a tremble to my nethers
I like him a healthy amount and think his career is worth a World Cup win
I like him but sod Argentina winning
He's great, obviously, but I don't care if he succeeds or fails
He's great, obviously, but pundits need to settle down
I'm a racist and that's why I hate him
I'm an idiot and will argue he's actually not all that good
Right, I've decided. These cunts are far worse than Messi. Las islas - malvinas - son argentinas.
Is Son crying yet?
The semi on this side of the draw is going to be quality.
Unless it somehow ends up being Holland v Croatia.

I'm now bitterly regretting that tonight's entertainment isn't a Uruguay-induced bloodbath. Throw Asia out of FIFA based on the last two hours.
It was mostly Portugal's fault, in fairness.
No [no-hoper] minnows stinking up the latter stages of the tournament is refreshing. Cue Switzerland winning the whole bastard thing now, Infantino wildly whirling his shirt around whilst simultaneously handing out suitcases of cash to the officials in celebration.
That was class.
That was lovely.
Although with Jim on these celebrations. Hideous.
Throwback to Kerlon and the seal dribble
Imagine Harry Maguire trying to handle that passing and movement.
Well I don't know about you lot, but my living room is lilting to the samba beat. I've started blowing a whistle and everything.
Think this might be done.
Is this the first time they've actually played 'Brazilian well' since, what, the mid 80s?
Don’t like seeing anyone get battered like this. Must be absolutely horrible for the players.
Proper kamikaze defending from the Chinamen this.
I leave for twenty minutes and miss four goals.
The styles of these two will always just match up like this and god bless them both for it. Great world cup scenes.
This could also be a classic set your credentials out and then lose to the first organised team you play performance (1982, 1986, 1990, 2006, 2010).
Same. Missed most of the first half and all the goals ffs.I leave for twenty minutes and miss four goals.
Yep, a classic.
If they lose to Croatia after this it should be a two-tournament ban, minimum.
Croatia no chance. Louis van Gaal...
Go easy on the mayonnaise with your supper tonight, you wild cat.
Roy Keane
"Do your little jig and fuck off." I bet Mick McCarthy said that to him once.
Dani Alves? Why don't they just get Bobby Carlos out of the stands to try one of his famous 'banana kick' dead ball strikes (so-called because the spin applied to the ball made it swerve voraciously in flight).
Comeback - ON.
Too many teams have respect these days. The amount of times a team are up at half time and then take their foot off it is sickening
It's not respect, it's preserving the energy of your own players.
They would have chalked that off if it wasn't a consolation. VAR itching to get in the action.
They’ve been asleep. This sort of messing is a bad habit to get into going into the next game.
Pretty poor effort to be playing in a World Cup at 39 for Brazil and it only being your 3rd tournament. Was Cafú still playing in 2006?
It's either that or have Roy Keane cry about your celebrations.
Bring back the group stage.
Yeah he was. During a language trip to Seville I watched Dani Alves live in this game: https://m.football-lineups.com/match/1453, remember him tracking up and down the touchline in front of me all night. Playing the World Cup 17 years later. Ridiculous.
There's no December football thread so this can go in here:
Yeah I thought these may as well serve as the thread until I make one when the tournament is actually done. It'll only get lost due to the three posts it gets.
I was in the work kitchen this morning, making coffee, and a colleague walked in. He's not much of a football fan (World Cup England games only) but knows that I 'follow the game'. He said to me, by way of making conversation: "They're saying this could be the last World Cup for some of the superstars, like Messi and Ronaldo." I had no idea what to say. What do you say to that? So I said: "Football heritage." He said "Too true, too true," and walked off.
Spent the next half hour gutted that I bottled dropping the h.
You didn't actually say "football heritage" right?
The thing about England is they always try to walk it in.
This place is really dialing up the autism over the World Cup.
I did. At 8.40am, no less.
What were you expecting from us, detached worldly cool?
Just get it in the mixer.
You should have explained the offside law with UHT milk pods.
The number of UHT milk pods we have in there, I could have explained the entire tactical history of football from Chapman's W-M to the advent of the false nine.
