Glad we haven't got that bottle-less rat in our side.

Musiala into the bin.
‘Didn’t have any option but to have a go’
Other than squaring it for an open goal, maybe
Oh noes.
From that range, power actually works well, because THE BALL flies into the roof of the net rather than a saveable height. See also Taremi vs England, the second Morocco goal earlier, etc.
Wait, does this mean that both Japan and Costa Rica could make it through?
What a finish.
Thunder cunt of a finish. Lovely stuff
Germany just need to start going all route 1 in this. Fullkrug is bullying their defence whenever it’s in the air.
Germany absolutely tower over Spain in height and Kimmich goes for a fancy clip at the back post. Christ
Sane.
A 2-goal win takes Germany through, I think.
Actually, no, Spain could lose to Japan by two or three and probably still qualify. They should probably arrange that. Not sure the hun are skimming eight past Costa Rica.
That suits Germany, and I would fancy them against whoever wins Group F as well. And then Portugal to get into the semi-final. Decent run.
They just need to out score Japan on the assumption both win.
Costa Rica will hold on for the 0-0 and go through
I did think this. Bench at best. Attacking flair is not wanted.Originally Posted by Ben
There was a moment in that game where the commentator said something like "the last time Germany lost their opening two games in a World Cup was 1938" and I really thought it was all set up for Alan to chime in with "and we all know what happened after that" but it never came.
Fair play to that finish from what I assume is the German Rickie Lambert.
Neuer loves getting beat at his near post.
Sane is fit again so Germany to win the whole thing once they stop fielding Kehrer. That Musiala-Sane linkup was special, as was basically everything the former did beside the chance.
Russia have applied to join AFC too, love that
I'm sure Zenit and Spartak Moscow will love the idea of going to play Perth Glory on a Wednesday night for £10,000 in TV money, as opposed to Barcelona for £150 million.
Even if they join they wont be able to play will they?
Or does FIFA have no say on the individual federations?
FIFA can swivel on my girthy number.
US went and started making shit political statements by removing our IR emblem off our flag in some media posts. We've gone in heavy with threat of legal action and they've reversed their actions quicker than a gammon jumping in a puddle of shit.
There's not actually that much animosity between players nor fans but I suspect by KO CQ and others will have succeeded in turning the temperature right up
The Americans should be hammered for that. You can't just go deciding which flags other federations use, otherwise the Serbians will be having a right lol wiyh it.
It wasn’t an official tournament thing though, just a graphic on their own Twitter page. All Islamic symbology should be blanket banned anyway.
England will lose to Wales, and whoever wins USA-Iran will top the group. As such I'm booked in to watch the latter game on Tuesday night.
Completely forgot the third games were played at the same time. Bummer.
Russia dropping hints that they want to join the AFC.
No thanks, lads.
Has anyone heard about the Russians wanting to switch into the AFC? Surprised that no one is talking about it.
Breaking news, Russia are angling for a move to the AFC.
The joining process would be lol. Australia seething themselves to death about it while everyone else just shrugs it through.
I guess I missed a post or two
It's 7am, leave me alone.
Edit: To be fair, it was Taz.
We'll cop it sweet as we have no where else to go.
Zenit St Petersburg v Brisbane Roar at Redcliffe in front of 3 people.

They might as well just merge East Asia, ASEAN and the 2 or 3 decent Oceania team, then let the middle east, South Asian and Russian mobs fight it out on their own.
This has been mooted pretty much since the beginning of the invasion.
More games against the Kiwis would be nice.
...for the other teams. Amirite?!
NZ are basically guaranteed a World Cup place from now on if they stay in Oceania, so I wouldn't be going anywhere if I were them.
Found out this morning that Breel Embolo is 25. I thought he was at least 34 and had played at Germany 2006.
Asian football's been lacking some of this gammon behaviour.
That's massive.
What on earth is a traditional style of goalkeeping? Does Rigo want him to punt it and he wants to caress it short?
Traditional style of African goalkeeping? What, shite?
But yeah, presume it's sweeper-keeper versus the alternative.
Also, why is Aboubakar no longer the starter? Is he injured or has Song lost his mind?
Cameroon have always had good keepers tbf. Nkono, Songo'o, Kameni, that bloke who always inexplicably played instead of Kameni.
This game will be a good test of how much Serbia stink. Probably need to win by two really.
Choupo-Moting's been doing well in ze fussball hasn't he?
That sub keeper is on a hiding to nothing here. If he sells a goal here him (and Song) will be history I suspect.
EDIT: Every touch so far has just been him pumping it as far up the field as possible.
He has but he never seems to do that well for Cameroon and he can play on the wing.
Absolutely loving Andros on co-comms.
Mitro with a shocker.
Looking at this Cameroon back four I think Rigo might have a point about not playing it out from the back.
Lacking actual hard data to back this up, but have there been very few goals scored from corners so far?
Well there's one.
