Don't think Diego will be flipping anyone the bird this time! :D

Two assists.

Trollheart 06-30-2018 09:53 AM

All over now. Vive la France! Adios Argentina.

Messi will retire from internationals now.

It doesn't change his legacy. He is still the goat.

They're pretty **** odds aren't they? I would have figured maybe 100-1 on France or something.

Peak times for Messi, back to Barce I guess.

Well, not really. I think people expect too much out of Messi. Actually, Argentina really looked like a team today. If anyone's the goat, it should be their goalie or maybe their defense in general. I mean you should win with three goals I would think.

In the meantime, Vive La France!

I know you know way more about soccer than I do but there’s no way the Greatest of All Time goes 8 knockout games without a goal.

Goat - Greatest of all time.

Messi is the best footballer ever to play the sport.

Let’s be clear so this doesn’t get lost

GOAT means the greatest soccer player to ever live.

It's not like he has done nothing in those games, he has set up winners in knockouts even if he hasn't scored in one. He got two today. If their keeper and defence was half decent they'd have gone through and we'd be praising Messi's playmaking skills.

Plus some of the greatest players never even played in World Cups.

Word up

Pele was so great he wouldn’t let Brazil lose even when he was hurt on the bench.

Pele is the greatest team sports athlete ever. He conquered the world.

Cuthbert 06-30-2018 10:12 AM

If you disagree with Messi being the best ever then the only other choice is Diego Maradona imo.

Maradona is the greatest Argentine player of all time

And if you want to argue GOAT that’s reasonable

I don’t agree but you have a case

Messi - nope

He is the best ever though. World Cups do come down to luck a bit as well.

Mbappe's transfer fee just skyrocketed! :D

Pele>Maradona>Messi>Ronaldo

Luck is part of being the GOAT

You need everything

Even **** you can’t control

I think that’s where our opinions are going to break off

You’re going to say WTF - **** you can’t control - makes no sense

And I’m gonna say when you’re talking GOAT life just ain’t fair

Anyway - that was an exciting game

At Trollheart’s Irish Casino a $100 bet on France would’ve won you $1!

Get yourself a free two ounces of Guinness

I love him. He is a nutter but that's why a lot of people like him so much.

Akai 06-30-2018 10:31 AM

I must say tho, glad I stuck with this cup so far.

It's for the most part rekindled my love for the game after years of not caring about it at all.

What are you talking about? A 100-1 bet would yield 10,000 for a 100 bet. 100 to your one (whatever that one is, in this case 100 euro). Thought you understood betting? :confused:

The 7pm game should be a belter too. Portugal vs Uruguay.

If if was going to gamble I'd bet on Ronaldo to score in this match.

As much as Batty would get a kick out of it I can’t bet my rent/groceries

I’m not a degenerate gambler

Alright I haven't had a drink in over a week and it's time to get down so I'm getting a free Hulu trial just so I can watch some ***gy soccer (PortxUrg in an hour right?).

OccultHawk 06-30-2018 11:12 AM

It’s on Fox

You don’t even need cable

Yes kicks off in 47 minutes. It will probably be on YouTube.

Or check Reddit Soccer Streams.

You just missed a classic but this one should be good too.

Suarez is my guy. He is a cunt :cool:

Occult - 1
Qwerty - 1
Rubbers - 1
Goofle- 0
Eric- 1

More than likely yeah. Search for Portugal Uruguay and set the filter to live streams.

If that doesn't work use the Reddit sub I mentioned. Q-Man recommended it to me and TopLads have been using it for a while now. You will 100% get a stream on it.
