Go Go Go
Costa Rica

(and their women actually prettier than Brazil’s- little known fact)

OccultHawk 06-22-2018 07:46 AM

Is anyone else watching?

This game is exciting!

Goofle 06-22-2018 07:47 AM

Yeah lots of good play, Navas on fire and plenty of excellent cheating.

And there we go, Coutinho. 1-0.

Cuthbert 06-22-2018 08:26 AM

The big hitters are struggling.

Nigeria vs Iceland next, the other match in Argentina's group. Draw or Nigeria win is best for Argentina.

Goofle 06-22-2018 08:40 AM

Brazil look easily the best team. Just need to figure out how to set up against the various opposition. Nobody has a better squad.

Cuthbert 06-22-2018 08:46 AM

Agreed could have done with them drawing today, was a big result for them :(

Trollheart 06-22-2018 09:49 AM

I must say, I was amazed to turn on the match (after I had sorted Karen for the afternoon it was all but over) to see 0-0 with 84 minutes gone! Seemed like Brazil were playing badly. I mean, Costa Rica? But then they showed the qualities that have won them this competition, how many, 5 times? CR seemed to be big into the delay tactics, though that cost them in the end with the second goal. I mean, eight minutes extra time when it was supposed to be six? Where did that come from? Still, Brazil did look like they deserved their win. Got to love Coutinho! :D

Easily? To my unsophisticated eye Brazil looked a lot like Argentina until the lost time. It was nil nil at 90 minutes and like Argentina they were applying constant pressure just not finishing. Costa Rica’s goalie is a bad ass, btw.

Now that I’m a soccer lad I got opinions yo!

Cuthbert 06-22-2018 09:53 AM

Brazil have been excellent for about 18 months now though.

Brazil’s celebration after the first lost time goal.

How long do they get away from league play to play as a national team?

Brazilian league is from January to September I think so it's being played right now, vast majority of their squad play in Europe though which is August to May, so about 4 weeks.

This doesn't include international breaks during domestic seasons which last two weeks.

Oriphiel 06-22-2018 10:05 AM

I'm rooting for Nigeria. :yeah:

Great news for Messi.

Oriphiel 06-22-2018 10:10 AM

They got a goal right after I posted :laughing:

debaserr 06-22-2018 10:11 AM

Likely story.

Goddamn

No wonder America has never won it.

A millionaire needs an off season to lay around doing bong hits and getting blow jobs. **** soccer. I’m applying to the NBA.

Nigeria 2 - 0

Top lads

They did. Sigurdson did a Southgate. :rolleyes: :yikes:

Lol, what a botched shot. Iceland are done.

They're about to land on their ices.

Cuthbert 06-22-2018 10:52 AM

Argentina have a great chance to go through now.

All they need to do is beat Nigeria, if Iceland don't beat Croatia then Argentina are through. If Iceland do beat Croatia (they won't) then Argentina need to better Iceland's goal difference. So just need to win by one more goal than Iceland if they beat Croatia.

They have got lucky here.

Oriphiel 06-22-2018 11:00 AM

Nigeria are gonna go all the way. The very top of the lad tower.

Maybe I’ll get to see the Messi you’ve been talking about

Nope Croatia all the way. They've already won their group.

Cuthbert 06-22-2018 11:17 AM

I think you will see the real Messi, Hawk.

But I remember I said I think the missed penalty would get to him. Apparently he locked himself in his hotel room all of Sunday. He looked stressed during the national anthem yesterday. I hope he is OK he doesn't deserve all this criticism.

He’s gotta quit being a little bitch then. Part of being a champion is acting like a champion. His teammates shouldn’t have to waste their energy worrying about him. He’s supposed to take about ten minutes and then tell his team goddamnit we’re ARGENTINA. The past is the past there’s only one thing we can control we’re going to beat the **** out of Nigeria and that’s ALL we’re going to focus on.

****ing Christ man the **** up. Like a 13 year old girl who got a mean text and locks herself in the bathroom.

OccultHawk 06-22-2018 11:44 AM

PS

He better not act like a bitch if he makes it to QPR

That **** don’t play in West London yo

Cuthbert 06-22-2018 11:54 AM

Yes Messi is sensitive but his team mates should be taking the blame.

TopLads of the forum saw him drag Argentina to this World Cup when they were losing their last game and needed to win. He can do it again.
