2022 World Cup knockouts: RIP four games a day

[7om]

The animal abuser vs a rapist. Tough choice, this.

[Giggles]

Neymar it is.

[phonics]

My mother knows a woman who runs a dog rescue centre, and - this is genuinely what this woman claims - apparently it's an open secret in the dog welfare world that Messi once had his dogs taken off him for pouring boiling water on them. Something to consider.

I'd love to know the 6 degrees of Lionel Bacon that got this story to a rescue centre worker in Hull.

[Baz]

But he's got that awesome massive brown one. :sherlock:

[Jimmy Floyd]

Probably a true story but about Lionel Blair.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I'm hearing that the Sterling burglary story has been exaggerated, and he's actually been sent home having lamped Luke Shaw in training.

[Shindig]

https://www.konami.com/efootball/en/topic/news/771

To respect his legacy, he is no longer in the game. :| They kinda had to but that phrasing's a bit off.

[wullie]

Need a shipping update on wullie's shirt.

I think I'm the reason they won

[John Arne]

England's starting 11 in Euro 2004 really was a great team. 'keeper aside, you could argue that is the best 10 players to have played in each position for England (as least since 1990).

Croatia 2-4 England
James, Neville, Terry, Campbell, Cole, Beckham, Gerrard, Lampard, Scholes, Owen, Rooney.

[Yevrah]

Indeed and we were playing well too. Had Rooney not got injured I think we'd have got pretty close to winning it.

[niko_cee]

It is interesting looking back, and whilst it probably applies to many teams, it does feel like England have had some genuinely tragic luck/bad things happen to them at critical times over the years. From the hand of god, to Waddle hitting the post against Germany in 1990, Gaza's leg being 4mm too short in '96, the various red cards marring '98 and 2006, Sol Campbell's disallowed header, Ronaldinho's goal. Maybe Southgate's fortunate draws are just cosmic payback for all that shit.

[Jimmy Floyd]

The German goal in the 1990 game was an absolute joke as well, regardless of Shilton's part in it.

1998 we should have done very well, Argentina were piss and wind, had two massive strokes of undeserved luck (Beckham red which was a nonsense decision, and the disallowed goal which should have stood). However our big mistake was losing to fucking Romania in the group stage.

[Yevrah]

Agree with most of that but the Beckham red was absolutely the right call.

[niko_cee]

Vinicius Jr's face when his fellow press-conference-ee chucks that cat off the table is hilarious.

Guy that does it clearly a stone cold pyscho.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

What?

[Shindig]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wK_xA2ByiH8

Clearly not the first time he's done that.

[Manc]

You would know.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

He only kicks dogs.

[niko_cee]

This (https://uk.yahoo.com/sports/video/cat-interrupts-vinicius-brazil-press-180700684.html) is a better video for facial reaction.

[Boydy]

I don't get the need to get rid of the cat? Just let it sit there. It wasn't doing any harm.

[Ben]

If it's like the local cats that frequent my garden, it would have had a shit any moment.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I don't get the need to get rid of the cat? Just let it sit there. It wasn't doing any harm.

We're a bit of an outlier nation/culture when it comes to animals. They're much less sentimental elsewhere.

[Waffdon]

I could understand at a push grabbing it by the neck since cats do it to each other but the full blown grab of the back was something else. Kurt Zouma will be delighted.

[CJay]

That’s standard operating procedure for picking up a random cat. Scruff of the neck. Maybe not the drop though :D But sure cats always land on their feet.

[niko_cee]

Are the quarters usually squashed into 2 days? Feels to me like they would normally be on 4 consecutive nights, but that may be wrong.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

They've always been (I just checked to '98).

[Shindig]

I think this is normal. I thought the odd thing was four games a day in the groups. Maybe I'm just misremembering Russia or whatever.

[Boydy]

I miss four games a day (and my week off).

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I think this is normal. I thought the odd thing was four games a day in the groups. Maybe I'm just misremembering Russia or whatever.

Russia was 3.

[Giggles]

I’ll be glad when it’s over. It’s messing Shortland Street around.

[Lewis]

1600832407761985536

Just a man enjoying his life.

[phonics]

Him ending a press conference with 'Bye, I'm going to go have sex with my wife.' Absolute legend.

[Baz]

He does seem pretty sensational. Has he always been this way?

Also reminder that football is finally back today. Brazil vs Croatia at 3 to get the party started before the main event of Holland vs Argentina; get the beers flowing.

[Yevrah]

Really looking forward to these four games. :drool:

[Lofty]

I feel like Brazil will crush Croatia if they go for it, Japan had a lot of chances but just couldn't finish.

[Ben]

Definitely need to manufacture a 2pm finish today.

[Ian]

Thanks to work Christmas do and then poor planning tomorrow I think I might miss all of these other than the England game. Hopefully wherever we're off to tonight has them on.

[Jimmy Floyd]

18:00 kickoff and structured white (bacon) referee Michael Oliver should repress the dancing flair of the Brazilians. 3-0 Croatia.

[Boydy]

Work Christmas lunch today at 2pm so not hopeful for seeing the Brazil game. :(

[Don]

I hold fat people in higher regard than the 'Aww I've got to go to the garden centre so will miss the games :(' melts. This is literally 2 days of football that can't be beaten, cut your dicks off and donate them to medical research to at least not let them go to complete waste.

Having said that, I do have my football club's xmas do tonight so it's going to take some added effort to stay sober and isolated enough to fully enjoy the game.

[CJay]

Calling in my half day favour from my boss today for having to do training and miss our team away day a few weeks ago. Expertly timed. :cool:

[Ben]

Taz is right in this instance lads.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I've taken a half day off, mainly because I have it spare at the end of the year but also to watch the QF between my two three-course dinners.

Holland-Argentina will be missed but I'll get tomorrow's two games in. Foolishly agreed to have a pint with someone next Tuesday so hoping it's Holland-Croatia, or else that he'll suspend his indifference to football and we'll watch it in a pub.

[Spikey M]

Taz is right in this instance lads.

He is. Any excuse not to attend a work social function would be gratefully snatched at, and a World Cup semifinal would definitely qualify.

Thankfully my work have the meal / "party" during normal working hours. I wouldn't go otherwise.

[Shindig]

Loris Karius made his debut for us last night. 45 minutes against Al-Hilal. Kept a clean sheet in a 5-0 win. Almiron and Joelinton taking the piss with two goals each.

[Boydy]

There's only 4 of us in the Belfast office so I couldn't really miss it. Once lunch is over we're heading to a pub though so I should catch most of it there hopefully. Just gotta get them to eat fast.

[Giggles]

I've little to no interest in it but I'm using them as an excuse to fuck off early because it's Friday.

[Shindig]

I just timed my leave right. I think I'm missing the third place play-off but the rest is all fine.

[Don]

Everything from form to teamsheets to the fact Croatia have no pace and direct vertical counters are presumably the only way to hurt this Brazil side point to a comfortable Brazil victory but finger me raw and call me Melissa if you think I'm ruling anything out with that Croatian quartet. Sosa back and Pasalic in place of one of their useless target men is promising too. Bring it on :drool:

[-james-]

7 minutes in, no Infantino but already a Kovatic and a Garvidol from Jenas

[Pepe]

Brazilian anthem is good.

[CJay]

Perisic has some record for Croatia:

2 at 2014 World Cup
2 at 2016 Euros
3 at 2018 World Cup
2 at 2020 Euros
1 at 2022 World Cup (so far)

How is Danilo not getting sent off there?

[Waffdon]

Kovacic and Brozovic going through a power of work so far in the middle.

[CJay]

Guy Mowabray’s fantasising over Brazilian flair is getting tiresome.

[igor_balis]

Jenas right there (for once) - if Oliver doesn't think that's a foul, why the fuck is he blowing the whistle?

[Don]

Brazil being made to look incredibly average. You love to see it.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I thought VAR was going to give it.

[niko_cee]

They're boring as fuck but Croatia have so much technical quality. Almost always unhurried. Still fancy Brazil to workmanlike their way through. Glad VAR didn't call the fix in yet, although it would have been better if they had and the ref [having clearly seen it] had told them to do one.

[-james-]

Celtic board will be licking their lips at this Juranovic showing. I think he was on his way out anyway but I don't think he's ever looked this good.

[Manc]

Croatia don't ever look like scoring.

[Waffdon]

Brazil manager just swapping like for like attackers all over. Bring on ‘Bruno’ ffs

[Waffdon]

Croatia don't ever look like scoring.

They don’t really have very many food towards to be fair to them.

[niko_cee]

Antony should be booked as a minimum there.

[-james-]

Modric's turn of pace at the age of 37 is almost unbelievable.

[Waffdon]

Peds, mate.

[Waffdon]

Do Brazil’s forwards have a bleach sponsorship?

[Manc]

Petkovic hasn't helped the Croatian cause.

[Spikey M]

Modric's turn of pace at the age of 37 is almost unbelievable.

Between him a Perisic there must be something in the water.

[Lewis]

I hope this is Croatia's last decent tournament. What a boring team.

[Jimmy Floyd]

If Brazil don't win this it's because they're indulging Neymar.

[niko_cee]

I've obviously only been drifting in and out of this, but what is going on with [is it?] Eder Militao's shorts? Looks like he's walked out of a 1980s rugby league game.

[Max Power]

What a cameo from this lump Croatia have brought on up front. Think he’s given it away every time he’s got the ball.

[-james-]

I don't know if it's correct, but Matterface's Chee-tay has to be the worst of all the pronunciation sins to have been aired on this broadcast.

[-james-]

Mowbray*

They're all the same.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

They're not, Matterface is so much worse.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

What a cameo from this lump Croatia have brought on up front. Think he’s given it away every time he’s got the ball.

He just donned two defenders there though.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I don't know if it's correct, but Matterface's Chee-tay has to be the worst of all the pronunciation sins to have been aired on this broadcast.

Using Tim Vickery lingo I'd go Cheeeeeeeche? Something like that.

Brozovic falls victim to the ball there.

[Waffdon]

If Croatia scored after the commentators took the piss out the big lump :drool:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

That's quality from Neymar.

[Lewis]

Waaaaaaaaay.

[Waffdon]

That’s a brilliant goal. Some plur

[Manc]

The keeper has to clean him out there.

[Adramelch]

Thank god. As much as I would like to lol at Brazil, having Croatia stink it up for a third game in a row in the semis was a horrendous prospect.

[Jimmy Floyd]

The Holland-Croatia dream is dying. Was looking forward to another properly organised, structured 120 minutes plus penalties.

[Don]

I fancy 15 mins of attacking Croatia to yield an equaliser here.

[Waffdon]

Brazil/Argentina got 0-0 all over it too

[Jimmy Floyd]

Taking a 3-man short corner in these circumstances should be an automatic life ban from any involvement in the sport.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Fuck Brazil :cool:

[Trancemeister]

No way Petkovic scores :D

[Waffdon]

Hahahahaha some boys

[-james-]

:drool:

[randomlegend]

"Tiiiiny deflection" Jenas is brain dead.

[Yevrah]

Cracking stuff this. Penalties please.

[Don]

:drool:

Looking at the lineups, Croatia gotta be odds-on faves for pens, a ridiculous line-up of flakey favela boys rounded off with king flake of Manchester.

[Adramelch]

Bit of a silly foul from Perisic there.

[-james-]

That checkmate line made me chuckle tbf.

[randomlegend]

Fucking hell that 'check mate, checked mates' line should see Mowbray fired into the sun :D

[Magic]

Brutal Balkan assassination ahoy.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Neymar to miss please.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Another shit penalty against Livakovic.

[Lewis]

CroAIDStia more like.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Orsic with a perfectly placed pen.

[Magic]

RIP Pele. :harold:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

:harold:

Give me Neymar's tears.

Lol at the cunt wanting to save himself for 5th.

[Yevrah]

All we need now is a Dutch win to launch a major inquest of South American football.

[Shindig]

Morocco - Croatia final. :drool:

[Magic]

Absolutely brutal and ruthless. You could put the Atlantic Ocean in that bottle.

[Waffdon]

What a country

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Where's your samba dancing now you cunts?

[Jimmy Floyd]

Are the director's box seats of Cafu, Ronaldo, Robbie Carlos etc going to be taken by Prosinecki, Asanovic, Boban and co in the semi-final?

[Jimmy Floyd]

And why didn't that ridiculous coward Neymar take one?

[Alex]

No samba dancing on the sidelines today then eh, lads? Get back to the hotel and get your fucking bags packed. :harold:

[niko_cee]

lol

Alisson always looks so tiny in the goal, which is odd as he isn't. He's always been shite on penalties, not that he had much chance with any of them.

Croatia Red Star Belgrading their way to the whole thing would be quite funny, but their actual shitness will probably end up shining through at some point [probably against France in the final again].

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

And why didn't that ridiculous coward Neymar take one?

He wanted the fifth to win it himself.

Ego's bigger than his brain.

Best takers should always go first.

[Lewis]

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).

Stick another one in the file.

[Bernanke]

How do you allow a 4v4 like that at 1-0 up in the 117th minute lol

[Shindig]

If you're a big name in your squad, don't rely on 4 others to get their penalties in.

[Bernanke]

https://i.imgur.com/VzfMREu.png

Look at where those 6 Brazilians are at when Modric gets around his man lol

[Waffdon]

Ronaldo on the touch line donning Messi it is

[Don]

Antony in dramatics after completely bottling it. King.

[Dave.]

He wanted the fifth to win it himself.

Ego's bigger than his brain.

Best takers should always go first.

I like my best penalty takers at number 3 and 4.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

BBC showing a close up of Neymar crying :drool:

[Bernanke]

I like my best penalty takers at number 3 and 4.

This is correct.

[niko_cee]

Look at where those 6 Brazilians are at when Modric gets around his man lol

4 bleached blondes just walking back.

I'm semi-hopeful that France's attack exhibits the same levels of laziness against England, I think they have it in them.

[Lewis]

There is a Brazilian cafe about five minutes from my flat, and they've hired a Brazilian drumming band for each of their weekend games. They're currently at it again now, presumably working their semi-final and final fees.

[Waffdon]

If France do a Brazil and keep the midfield the same as they’ve had and refusing to take into account their opponents them I’m off for a cry.

You canna have Mbappe/Griezmann/Dembele all in the same team against England.

[Don]

Brav for every 1 goal the brainless useless gammons score Mbappe and Dembele bang 3 for not tracking back. Keep calm.

[-james-]

https://i.imgur.com/oEEOJVt.png

How many "attackers" among the 22 there?

[Spikey M]

Just the tears of the giraffe and the Manlet left to go.

[Ben]

All that dancing against South Korea looks so small time right now. :D

[Jimmy Floyd]

I don't think enough was made of how insane/suicidal the Korean tactics were, in everybody's desperation to wank over samba football. In every other game Brazil have been their usual post-2005 workmanlike selves, or worse.

Brilliant advantage by Michael Oliver leading to the Croatia goal, so in a way England won.

[Waffdon]

https://i.imgur.com/oEEOJVt.png

How many "attackers" among the 22 there?

5 depending on your interpretation of an attacker

[Don]

Bergwijn in for that useless baldy, Dutch are gonna run riot here.

[randomlegend]

Mac Allister is a quality Argentinian name.

[Adramelch]

I once had an Argentinian colleague called Herbert Owen.

[Waffdon]

Mac Allister is a quality Argentinian name.

His Da couldn’t look anymore Scottish if he tried. Can’t get many Ginger Argies

[Giggles]

His old man looks like a ginger Steve McMahon.

[Alan Shearer The 2nd]

Alex McLeish is a good shout.

[SincereTheRebel]

He wanted the fifth to win it himself.

Their ego's bigger than their brain.

Best takers should always go first.

Ive seen Ronaldo do this too. Being number 5 and didn't even get a chance to step up. I dont understand it. I remember Fabregas being penalty number 5 for Spain and he always delivered.

[niko_cee]

An LVG masterclass to dispatch Qatar's own Lionel Messi would be much appreciated here.

[Pepe]

I fancy Netherlands here. LvG will be too much for Argentina.

[Magic]

Keown and Pearce. :sick:

[Waffdon]

The Dutch bring more fans to watch Verstappen all over the world than they do here.

[SincereTheRebel]

Dumfries has one of the most ignorant-looking faces I've ever seen

[Magic]

Thank God we didn't sign De Paul. :eyemouth:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Time for the wanking to start.

[Magic]

:drool:

[7om]

Stunning from Messi. Dear me

[Yevrah]

Time for the wanking to start.

That pass was obscene though.

[Waffdon]

I honestly have no idea how he’s seen that pass. I swear he didn’t even look.

[Magic]

Can't stand the Dutch, they've been horrible boring cunts for at least a decade.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

"The pass defies physics".

I wonder how much Rio knows about actual physics.

[-james-]

Cheech has resigned.

[Manc]

The Dutch look miles off it. Stick the big lad on.

[niko_cee]

The wrong sort of LVG masterclass inbound here.

I dunno if I want Southgate watching this or not. Zero ambition 5 at the back versus fractionally less negative 5 at the back, it's like a wet dream for him. Such a gutless way to go out of a tournament though for whoever it doesn't work for.

Oh well. Pray for a miss I guess.

[Spikey M]

De Jong has looked properly shit in this tournament. Why are United still after him exactly?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

He's a genius, a footballing God.

[Lewis]

Cannot have these cunts winning it. I would take Wales winning it over that.

[niko_cee]

Argentina v Croatia is going to be absolutely filthy.

[Adramelch]

I don't dislike them as much this time around I have to admit. The Dutch are definitely way worse.

[Yevrah]

If we go out like this tomorrow I'm going postal.

[Waffdon]

Argies definitely losing in the final. Reckon their emotion will get them through the semis but they’ll lose their shit in the final against whoever

[7om]

I’d laugh if Just Stop Oil chucked some soup over a player.

[niko_cee]

Weghorst to get booked and thus sent off within 10 minutes.

[Pepe]

Argentina to win the whole thing so that Saudi Arabia can claim to be the true champs.

[Waffdon]

Luuk De Jong x Wout Weghorst up front. Bloody hell

[7om]

The Dutch are absolutely desperate for a forward. A country with such a great history of producing strikers is now relying on a bloke who shit the bed at Burnley.

[Adramelch]

It's been mentioned before but the Dutch having someone who has like 40 league games at 28 as their starting goalkeeper still baffles me.

[SincereTheRebel]

Luuk De Jong x Wout Weghorst up front. Bloody hell

Do they have injuries to other senior strikers or is that, literally all they have?

[Spikey M]

Do they have injuries to other senior strikers or is that, literally all they have?

They also have Vincent Janssen.

So yes, this is all they have.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Keep lobbing it up to the big lad.

[7om]

:harold:

I take it back.

[Waffdon]

Netherlands need to just lump it in there. Otamendi and Martinez are tiny

[Spikey M]

I thought that was in then.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

The Dutch are absolutely desperate for a forward. A country with such a great history of producing strikers is now relying on a bloke who shit the bed at Burnley.

Malen and Brobbey could be decent but both are a bit like Memphis in that they're more wide men who can play as a striker.

[SincereTheRebel]

Look how deep these argies are sitting now. There is no pace in this dutch front line. Push up.

[Lewis]

Send that rat off.

[Adramelch]

That has to be a straight red.

[Spikey M]

Amateur hour stuff from the Dutch.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Messi is taking a tumble anytime anyone breathes near him and yet the commentators are refusing to mention it.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Lovely bit of needle to end the game. More please.

[Pepe]

:lol:

[7om]

:drool:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Ref wants some time to dish out more cards.

[Waffdon]

If they score again we should get some monster scenes

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I'd love some extra time here.

[Magic]

They don't deserve to take it to extra time. Playing that shit can fuck right off.

[Pepe]

I still cannot take seriously the whole player lying down thing.

[SincereTheRebel]

They don't deserve to take it to extra time. Playing that shit can fuck right off.

Route one stuff is part of the game.

[Pepe]

Last second keeper goal please.

[Adramelch]

Route one stuff is part of the game.

They were absolutely terrible for 75 minutes.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

That blonde in the Argentinian box :drool:

[Waffdon]

This referee is usually good but he’s been absolutely dreadful today

[Spikey M]

They were absolutely terrible for 75 minutes.

They still are.

[randomlegend]

This referee is usually good but he’s been absolutely dreadful today

It's interesting because I've always thought he's good whenever I've seen him but the Spanish fans HATE him.

[Adramelch]

They still are.

Sure but at least they are doing something, however badly. Until that second Argentina goal they were doing nothing.

Also, that was lovely.

[Lewis]

Fucking class.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

:drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool:

Wout you beauty.

[Spikey M]

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

[Ben]

That was amazing.

[SincereTheRebel]

They were absolutely terrible for 75 minutes.

Until Petr Crouch FC turned up.

[Yevrah]

I don't know what I've just watched. There are no words. :D

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Class free kick.

[Pepe]

Scenes. :drool:

[-james-]

That is absolute genius.

[Lewis]

That is goal of the tournament.

[7om]

Oh my god :drool:

[Waffdon]

That composure to do that is unreal. Absolutely fucking brilliant

[randomlegend]

Scenes.

[Ben]

van Gaal > di Maria

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

van Gaal > di Maria

Dire Maria.

[Yevrah]

The free kick was outstanding, but I can't recall seeing a game where a team were so bad for 75 minutes and then this happens. Quality to watch.

[7om]

That might be one of the best goals I’ve seen. So unexpected, so important. Amazing.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

This is simmering nicely.

[Pepe]

Let's hope for a couple of red cards in the extra time.

[7om]

Argentina losing their heads here. Beautiful to see.

[Lewis]

1601300301272780802

[Waffdon]

The free kick was outstanding, but I can't recall seeing a game where a team were so bad for 75 minutes and then this happens. Quality to watch.

Teams just naturally sit back in these situations for some reason. Suited the Dutch because their strikers are only good for one thing and Argentina have a tiny defence. Still. Unreal

[Pepe]

Predictions for BOTTLERS of the pks?

[Spikey M]

Stick Edgar Davids on.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Absolutely 0 chance that Argentina win on penalties if it goes that far. Heads have gone.

[Pepe]

1601300301272780802

:lol:

[Waffdon]

They should just continue with this route one nonsense but I bet they go back to a back 5

[Lewis]

Argentina will win the penalties because Holland are Holland and their goalkeeper isn't getting down quickly enough stuck to his line the big mong.

[SincereTheRebel]

Dont they have Tim Krul on the bench to sub him on at 119 minutes

[-james-]

Who's getting sent off then?

[Pepe]

Who's getting sent off then?

Messi is on a yellow...

[Spikey M]

Dis they not take Krul? You'd take him just for penalties, surely?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

The backup keepers are Justin Biljow and Remko Pasveer.

I think they're just randomers off the street.

[Adramelch]

He's not in the squad no. They have that Ajax grandpa and a young one from Feyenoord.

Quick google suggests he had a fallout with van Gaal.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Dis they not take Krul? You'd take him just for penalties, surely?

https://talksport.com/football/1200864/tim-krul-axed-netherlands-squad-man-utd-louis-van-gaal-qatar-world-cup-penalty-training/#:~:text=Long%2Dserving%20Netherlands%20goalkeeper %20Tim,2022%20World%20Cup%20in%20Qatar.

LVG is done with Krul.

[Pepe]

Those sound like FM greyed out players.

[Spikey M]

https://talksport.com/football/1200864/tim-krul-axed-netherlands-squad-man-utd-louis-van-gaal-qatar-world-cup-penalty-training/#:~:text=Long%2Dserving%20Netherlands%20goalkeeper %20Tim,2022%20World%20Cup%20in%20Qatar.

LVG is done with Krul.

Well that's retard and makes perfect sense in equal measure.

[7om]

So Netherlands get back into the game going route one, so of course they go back to playing between the back three.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Messi is taking a tumble anytime anyone breathes near him and yet the commentators are refusing to mention it.

And again.

[Adramelch]

Ref has been giving Argentina everything as well.

[igor_balis]

This ref is piss poor

[Spikey M]

The Argentines are an ugly bunch of cunts aren't they? Are they the Britain of South America?

[7om]

I actually do think Di Maria has some rat DNA in him

[Manc]

This ref is piss poor

The Spanish Mike Riley.

[Magic]

The Argentines are an ugly bunch of cunts aren't they? Are they the Britain of South America?

England/Wales*

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Pearce is gagging for Messi to do something so he can explode.

[7om]

Fucking hell, this ref is psycho

[Spikey M]

Here comes Master Splinter.

[Magic]

Dire Maria to score with the last kick off the game and then piss on gammon face.

[SincereTheRebel]

Ref is clearly ball gobbling

[Magic]

Keown: referee has lost the plot
Replay
Keown: yeah the referee is right

[Spikey M]

How has nobody been sent off with all these yellows flying around?

[Giggles]

I’ve probably missed the best bits but extra time has been shite.
