Got to be proud of your lads, Fluff. Amazing performance, nothing more to say. Records being broken all over the place. Kane surely will be knighted after this. Even from a curmudgeonly old Irishman who has the old biases in his withered heart, great job and you can't fault that commitment. :clap:

You're gonna steal the old trophy from Brazil?

Trollheart 06-24-2018 10:31 AM

Senegal ahead 2-1 now, 73 mins gone. Sayonara Japan?

Trollheart 06-24-2018 10:35 AM

Cheers Trolls.

Guys will say it was a pub team, but Belgium were 0-0 at HT and only scored three against them. Can only beat what's in front of you.

I kind of wish you knew more about football as you'd be a funny wind up merchant tbh lol.

Multiquoted and was about to say there's still time. 2-2 now.

Trollheart 06-24-2018 10:37 AM

Could go either way. Both teams really going at it.

In other news, Batty should spend the next four years boning up (ooer!) on footy so that he CAN be that annoying bastard with all the quips in time for the next World Cup.

The Batlord 06-24-2018 10:40 AM

Nah. I've watched exactly zero soccer during the World Cup and that's fine with me.

Should have at least watched the Argentina/Croatia game.

I think Ori has been watching some. If not it's amazing timing for some of his posts.

Trollheart 06-24-2018 10:57 AM

Draw seems a fair result. Fair play to both teams, credit to the tournament.

Cuthbert 06-24-2018 11:05 AM

Poland vs Colombia next.

Lewandowski vs Falcao aka Colombian tiger guy.

They were pretty ****, also nasty, but as you say, 5-0 against Lichtenstein is still a result. Yaz turned them over good. Man they were ****ing narky and dirty ****s though, weren't they? That Torres guy complaining to everyone - ref, Kane, Maguire. What a ****.

They say whoever loses is out. Should be good.

Cuthbert 06-24-2018 11:40 AM

One of them punched Harry Kane in the back of the head.

OccultHawk 06-24-2018 12:08 PM

That finger stomp was cheap af

Well rugby and cricket is the original AF/baseball and you are a tennis fan Charles.

Americans think I'm gay too.

OccultHawk 06-24-2018 01:09 PM

No one in America understands Cricket but everyone knows it’s the father of baseball


I’m not going to pretend I know anything about Rugby but you talk about Hockey being rough. All contact sports are rough so I don’t like saying which is rougher really but Rugby freaks me out.

And in soccer

The collisions are gnarly

I don’t give a **** what anyone says


Poland is sucking the dong

Cuthbert 06-24-2018 01:30 PM

El Tigre :cool:

Class goal.

Great to see him score in the World Cup after his injury.

Cuthbert 06-24-2018 02:24 PM

Congratulations to Colombia. 3-0 winners vs Poland.

We're in the final round of group games now, so it's effectively knockout football from here.

Tomorrow's games:

Group A: Saudi Arabia vs Egypt
Group A: Uruguay vs Russia
Group B: Iran vs Portugal
Group B: Spain vs Morocco

The games kick off at the same time in each group by the way, so you will have to choose which one you want to watch.

Spain or Portugal for me. How are the telly gonna cover that? They'll prob flip from one to the other.

Edit: looks like RTE are going for the bolded, but as I say, I'm sure they'll switch to the other game as they go, to check the status.

The Batlord 06-24-2018 02:59 PM

Also, TV > telly

:finger: We say telly, the box, the goggle box, idiot box, tube and a whole lot of other things.

The Batlord 06-24-2018 03:04 PM

That all sounds really stupid and lame. Don't you people usually have good slang?

If they have a second channel it might be on that. I can't remember from the last World Cup if BBC/ITV did. I didn't actually watch England's last game as we were out by the third game. Watched Uruguay vs Italy. The game Suarez bit Chiellini.

No, they do but they're showing Home and Away, Neighbors, Eastenders, Fair City, Lark Rise to Candleford, the News, Say Yes to the Dress, Eastenders again, the News again .... you get the picture. Only one channel here is showing the matches.

Edit: your guys have Iran/Portugal on BBC 1, Spain/Morocco on BBC 4. They don't seem to be showing the other two matches at all.

Cuthbert 06-24-2018 03:17 PM

Could be on ITV?

OccultHawk 06-25-2018 10:08 AM

Last second win for Saudi Arabia

Cuthbert 06-25-2018 10:17 AM

Iran vs Portugal later is the one to watch.

Iran can beat Portugal. Stop The Dark Invader and its an even game. Can be done.

Portugal to go out :cool:

Goofle 06-25-2018 11:25 AM

The man Cavani gets his goal. Love the way he plays, and he's been great all tournament. Uruguay such a great team but seem to struggle playing proper footy. Adding Torreira (hopefully coming to Arsenal) helped today, and hopefully for the rest of the tournament.

Cuthbert 06-25-2018 11:32 AM

Do you rate Cavani more than Suarez?

Goofle 06-25-2018 12:01 PM

Nah but I prefer him. If you get me. Same with Costa. My bois.

Cuthbert 06-25-2018 12:10 PM

Yeah fair enough.

Iran gonna sneak this btw.

The ground is full of vuvuzelas again :(

Goofle 06-25-2018 12:15 PM

Not when the Iran keeper clearly has a bet on Portugal.

OccultHawk 06-25-2018 12:37 PM

Are the Iranian fans playing those ****ing plastic trumpets?
