[Baz]

Mexico nailed on for being knocked out in the quarters for like the 6th World Cup in a row.

[Spoonsky]

That's the round of 16. Only the US and Costa Rica have made the quarterfinals from CONCACAF in recent history.

[Pleb]

I'm off for the first two matches of the group.

South Korea v Germany sounds like a right laugh.

[ItalAussie]

If Germany were a little less dominant, this could be a Group of Death. South Korea also aren't quite the force they used to be, and are probably now only the third-best team in Asia after Japan and Iran.

[Bernanke]

We'll draw 0-0 three times, and whoever wins between Mexico and Korea goes through with 4 points.

[Mazuuurk]

Sounds likely. We basically have to win against South Korea to stand a chance, but given that it's the first game, it'll definitely be a stale draw.

Mexico will beat us for sure, and we might be able to sneak a draw against Germany since they will already be on 6 points by then and might not be fucked.

[Dave.]

Germany
Sweden
Mexico
South Korea

[Mazuuurk]

lol

[Spikey M]

Can we have the World Cup threads pinned?

[SincereTheRebel]

or a sub forum for it all

[Baz]

Fix the title of this one @phonics

[Giggles]

or a sub forum for it all

Yeah now that they're all there it definitely needs the sub forum like the old board.

[Baz]

I disagree. We just need more threads per page, so it’s less of a TAKEOVER. It seems to be set to 20 at the moment, which is a lot less than it used to be, right?

Or is that just in my settings?

Even what Spikey said, sticky them up the top.

I thought that the other day but I was too lazy to check if it's a setting we can change. The number of threads per page should be double what it is now.

[phonics]

I have it on 50. Not sure what you plebs are up to.

[Trancemeister]

Germany is the 2nd match. Which means Germany will rape us to get to 6 points.

[Pepe]

Getting hyped up for this.

[Shindig]

Get more hyped.

Terrorism, y'all!

[niko_cee]

You'd think that you'd have the suicide aspect of that sort of plan locked down in Russia.

[Giggles]

Just seen it on the news, 'not terrorist related' my hole. Fair play to the lad who started punching the head off him through the window before he even stopped the car.

[Shindig]

"I ran because I thought the crowd were going to kill me."

Yep. You'd be right. They'd be less likely to kill you if you stopped after you mounted the pavement. Also, we're playing St. Pats today.

[Giggles]

Is that not a month from today?

[Shindig]

Yeah, I can't calendar.

[Giggles]

Yeah, I can't calendar.

I'm going

[Kikó]

No terrorism in St Petersburg yet. Bit of a piss take on table service but nothing more serious.

[Giggles]

Had picked this as one I was looking forward to but it's clashing with the GAA now (as are Serbia).

[Disco]

Well they did invent it.

[Lewis]

If Germany were a little less dominant, this could be a Group of Death. South Korea also aren't quite the force they used to be, and are probably now only the third-best team in Asia after Japan and Iran.

This is like the findings from an academic paper.

[Adramelch]

This is like the findings from an academic paper.

Doesn't have enough pretentious words in my opinion.

[Pepe]

That's one lightweight midfield we're fielding today.

[SincereTheRebel]

This guy Cesc is on TV and he is wearing stonewash jeans with a dragon on his belt buckle. Whats wrong with him...

[SincereTheRebel]

The Mexican national anthem is the best sounding anthem in the world followed by the Italians.

[Pepe]

Mexicans.

[Trancemeister]

Fuck me if the Mexicans open like this against us.

[Giggles]

The Mexican national anthem is the best sounding anthem in the world followed by the Italians.

Can never get the love for the Italian one. Anthems should be all power like Russia or Germany, not some airy fairy flouncy shite.

[Lewis]

lol at the referees all wearing their kits in the video dungeon.

[SincereTheRebel]

Can never get the love for the Italian one. Anthems should be all power like Russia or Germany, not some airy fairy flouncy shite.

The Italian players actually sing the anthem with passions and all that. Russia and German is also good but you can't beat the Mexican one, especially during a boxing event.

[SincereTheRebel]

1) is the German coach still digging in his pants and scratching and sniffing? Nasty

2) do the German coaching staff still wear matching clothes?

[Lewis]

The ten Mexicans I recognise in this squad have six thousand caps between them, and the rest are presumably greyed out regens. Just like it should be in 2018.

[John]

Jonathan Pearce needs to stop saying 'Chicharito Hernandez' immediately.

[Pepe]

Classic Mexico so far. Good football but useless in both boxes.

[niko_cee]

Yeah, haven't Mexico played this exact same game against Germany before - maybe in a last 16 tie?

How on earth is that a foul against 'Chicharito Hernandez'?

[Pepe]

[mugbull]

They deserve that. They’ve been better than Germany but more nervous, but now...

[randomlegend]

Classic Mexico so far. Good football but useless in both boxes.

I was about to say this, and then

Super entertaining.

[Pleb]

Pepe

[Max Power]

Mexico are fun. Nice to have a player I’ve never seen before light it up as well as Lozano has.

[randomlegend]

That's a great save from FM legend Ochoa.
