Boo, fuck off Belgium.
Boo, fuck off Belgium.
If Martinez starts Carrasco at wing back and no Dembele against Brazil, he can jump in the sea.
Is it the Japanese who participate in Seppuku or is that the Chinese?
Edit: or Koreans
Edit: or Cambodians
Had to be Chadli
When did Brazil become unlikeable? Once fat Ronaldo and Ronaldinho retired?Originally Posted by Jimmy Floyd
Once Neymar became a regular.
Brazil don't concede goals. Another 2-0 inc.
Japan has 3v1 at the back for the corner. Belgium players were just quicker at getting forward.
Harold said that in the last world cup and then ended up losing 7-1...
lol at them trying to credit Martinez for this.
Neymar offends everyone because he's yet another player who isn't Lionel Messi.
the fuck you on about
I always found Brazil annoying with their stupid instruments on the bus shit. THE SAMBA BOYS ARE IN TOWN, when they haven't provided any excitement since 1982.
One of the commentators earlier said something about Brazil being solid defensively which isn't something you expect from a Brazil team and I swear I've heard that said at pretty much every world cup that I can remember.
I'm saying Neymar offends everyone because he's yet another player that isn't Lionel Messi.
It's such lazy shite. They haven't fulfilled that stereotype since 1982.
Do be quiet. That's an almost admirable amount of nonsense to have put into one sentence.
It's the exact truth. And he moved to Paris for money. That will never do, what what what.
It's Japan, they're awful. Which was why I was so animated about us forgoing the chance to play them.
It's also worth noting that resting those players did absolutely nothing for Belgium.
It has to be said that thus far it is the best I can remember. Russia have put on a great staging as well.
They had come up with a surprisingly effective gameplan up to that point. Also, England don't have Fellaini, so who knows how that one might have played out.
EDIT: By up to that point, I actually meant until the 1-2. But they did regain some surprising composure after the equalizer.

It was excellent locally. I wish I could have stayed longer it was that good.
There's been a very surprising lack of trouble. Every other tournament I can remember has had some level of fan violence but there's been almost nothing at this one. That gay fan getting a pasting is the only thing that comes to mind, and as horrible as that is one incident is decent going.
It's looked to me like pretty much every fan at the grounds has been a sort of high income day tripping sort, and there clearly aren't big contingents from the traditional troublemaking countries either.
i've watched a few "stories" about the russian ultras and how they're all basically dying for the WC to be over so the police back off of them or something. I guess they've been cracking down pretty hard before the tournament on folks.
Highest ticket sale outside of Russia was to the yanks. Dan Walker said 900k tickets were to Russians. Lots of south Americans and North africans made the trip, barely any Europeans.
Get your Milo Yiannopoulos-sounding ass the fuck out of here
I've seen almost all of the really great games, but finally missed one. It looks like it would've been spectacular live.
Japan are so damn likeable as well. They run forever.
The Japanese goalkeeper is terrible, but amazing at the same time. Get him in the premier league A.S.A.P.
Is that the new Arsenal signing?
Very good 🤙
They surprised me actually, had a few decent players there other than the obvious ones.
Essentially though they just didn't have the nous to hold on to the win or take it into extra time. They'd have beaten a few of the other teams in the last 16.
As for resting players, how can you be so sure? They where full of energy in the last minute of a game played in 30 degree heat. Who knows if KdB would have been able to travel with the ball that far or if Lukaku would have had the legs to get up there and then the thought process to pull the defenders away.
It was a brilliant game. I always enjoy games where the underdogs want to go out and win.
Marcus the mystic pig is on This Morning and has selected England to win tonight.
I liked the Japanese Octopus, who 'predicted' the whole group stage correctly, getting eaten before the knockouts started.
It's a fix.
It's literally exactly how Putin has planned it. I bet he instigated the super hooligan shite just so he could make the West look foolish when nothing happened and everyone says it's brilliant.
I think living in a police state helps a bit too.
Yeah everyone knows the gangs were told to shut up shop for a few weeks. Same reason why the police weren't kicking everyones heads in when the Russian fans were brining Moscow to a standstill till 6am the other night.
So why is it surprising then?
That's not showing.
I think this guy makes a decent point about the lack of trouble etc
They did similar on The Wire in Hamsterdam with the drug-free zones.
Because John can be a bit thick sometimes.
Some of these clairvoyant farm animals are a fix I reckon. They probably put sweeter-smelling swill in the England trough to ensure a home snout.
Quite nervous about the England game. Just qualify and it'll be the greatest success I've known. Please.
Your little digs get more pathetic by the day, Phonics.
It's surprising that there's been almost literally no trouble. There's always something to report at major tournaments, so this one being incident free is surprising.
If you can hand them out, you can take them, you're a big boy.
They're in a police state where the government is both funding and supporting the sort of groups that create the trouble you're talking about. Where's the surprise?
This is a country where very important people seem to routinely fall off their balconies and you're surprised there's been no police reports of trouble?
