The Swiss special.
1-0 the first game then draw the remaining two 0-0.

Going through with 0 points would be quite funny [assuming 1 team draws all 3, 2 others draw 2 and lose 1, and 1 wins all 3].
Realistically that idea leads to full-on Americanisation of the sport.
Maybe you need the Amsterdam Tournament scoring system.
That was a cracking goal.
Casemiro
How about instead of Group A winner plays Group B runner-up etc, they just stick all qualifying teams into a big league table and the top plays the bottom, second plays second bottom etc? More incentive to go for wins and score more goals in the group stage if you'll get an easier draw in the first knockout round?Originally Posted by Jimmy Floyd
Switzerland offering absoutley nothing. Hopefully Serbia smash them.
He massively shanked that, didn't he?
Open draw after every round.
Switzerland will draw 0-0 with Serbia to qualify, draw 0-0 with Portugal in the second round game (and win on penalties), then they probably have Germany in the nazi gold derby, win that 1-0, into the semis. Parties in Zurich, orgies in Basel, tax forms used as condoms in Schaffhausen.
Eder Militao looks like one of the fake players you get given at the start of the Master League on about Pro Evo 6.
Akanji is the real deal.
Just seen the disallowed one. Jesus wept. VAR is like misery's lawyer.
With Alisson and those CBs, they don't half look solid but if Neymar doesn't come back they'll struggle against the proper sides with shite like Raphinha/Richarlison/Antony.
VAR is shit. Not sure how, but we need to get rid of it. Maybe claim that it targets minorities at a higher rate?
Casemiro's goal only went in because THE BALL deflected off a defender, otherwise it would have ended on row Z.
What that sort of decision underlines is how out of step the modern VAR interpretation of VAR Offside is with, if not the original purpose of the law, then at the very least it's post-'94 variant. Coming back from an offside position, where no advantage is gained from having been in said position, needs to be something that is taken into account [and probably needs the law redrafting] because, at the moment, it works a bit like the strict liability that the 1994 reforms [I say '94 as I think that was the first World Cup they featured in] were designed to eliminate/mitigate.
I’m not really sure it’s VARs fault on this occasion though. He was 2 yards offside, the assistant would have just flagged immediately if it didn’t exist.
Still not Leao for Portugal. In comes Carvalho to partner Neves against a back 5 of Uruguay.

He should have done that then. Going through celebrations only to then say 'lol nevermind' is very annoying.
When I saw the first replay I thought they might try to catch Vinicius with a halfway-line toenail offside, but when I saw someone else had touched it I thought he'd got away with it, only to walk in 5 minutes later and see it had been chalked off. It's a problem with the rule as much as it is its implementation, but VAR just amplifies it by looking for very marginal situations [although granted this one wasn't].
No Leao is criminal.
Hopefully a filthy Uruguay win here, seethes all over the gaff and Suarez rested for Ghana. Scenes.
“We have said many times that we have solidarity of all humanitarian causes,” Queiroz said. “But we have solidarity with causes all over the world whoever they are. If you talk human rights, racism, kids dying at schools from shooting, we have solidarity with all. But we bring a smile for 90 minutes, that is our mission.”
It's a top trolling effort.
The Septics are going to love that.

The national anthem of ooruguay really is the best of them all. A full minute of fucking around before the singing even starts.
Good to see Pepe going round again.
It would all carry more weight if Queiroz wasn't a mercenary. He probably couldn't have pointed out Iran on a map before he got the wheelbarrow of money, and he'd be strutting around in a stetson if the yanks would pay him more.
Please do not comment on things you have no knowledge on because you will often make such hideously wrong statements.
The best Iranian at the World Cup is this ref, who is taking no shit. I think Gimenez had his entire fist up Joao Felix's arsehole then.
Okay, that Aboubakar lob was pretty special.

It's Carlos fucking Queiroz. Get your head out of your hole.
Carlos Queiroz is a legend. One of Sir Alex Ferguson's top ten post-1999 transfers.
I'd pay good money to see a Keane v Queiroz punch up.
The winner can fight Souness.
Doesn't it all go back to Queiroz booking them bad hotel rooms or something?
Haven't seen a massive pile of games in this but this is easily the worst I've witnessed.
Pitch invader about to get beheaded.
Has he even touched that?
It saddens me to say this, as I quite want them to play Brazil in the R16 for historical echoes, but Uruguay are absolutely dogshit. Barely good enough to be here.
Siuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
Why are they wanking themselves silly over that?
Not a chance.
They'll probably chalk up any Portugese goal as his, the way things are going. Half the crowd screamed like children when he did a couple of stepovers earlier.
Claiming that goal.
Some real balls on that guy.
Why are the commentators not even mentioning it?
Lol I want to see the seethe if they give it to Fernandes.
Ally McCoist has been chatting bollocks all game. He even brought Johan Cruyff back to life a few minutes ago.
If Portugal somehow win the the whole thing with Ronaldo doing bits he should just retire. Cement himself as the greatest rapist to ever live
Stadium announcer said it was Fernandes'
Fixed.
Some real balls on them.
The Goal Contribution Machine assisting his own goal.
FIFA have officially given it to Bruno.
