Everything happens while I'm away from the telly. :(

Cuthbert 07-02-2018 01:52 PM

:D

Knew it was coming.

Trollheart 07-02-2018 01:52 PM

Un-****ing-believable!!!!!!!!!

Akai 07-02-2018 01:53 PM

Mad pace, much deserved Belgium.

rubber soul 07-02-2018 01:55 PM

Oh, well, it was nice while it lasted :D

Ol’ Qwerty Bastard 07-02-2018 01:56 PM

not very happy about how that went

Trollheart 07-02-2018 01:59 PM

****ing idiot. Should just have run down the clock. Gave it away in the end. Sayonara.

The winning goal was elite football though. Love goals like that.

Lukaku is still clumsy though.

The Batlord 07-02-2018 02:02 PM

TH interprets a civilization through their stereotypes. Totally unprecedented.

I'd give him props on 'dummying' the remaining def tbf.

Not sure it would of went the same way if he hadn't been there.


I was personally rooting for Japan but I tip my hat to the ET urgency from Belgium.

Yeah it was, without doubt. They should not have been given the chance though.

Croatia and Belgium have impressed, wouldn't be surprised if they do better than my bracket says.

Occult - 3
Qwerty - 5
Rubbers - 4
Goofle- 4
Eric- 5

You are absolutely the one who shows a redneck appreciation of other cultures. I know you don't understand that since you're a geriatric island dweller whose understanding of other cultures is hampered by an ocean and their desire to come to ****ing Ireland, but still.

Don't be sad buddy the game of the round is on tomorrow.

Switzerland vs Sweden first up.
England vs Colombia is the late fixture.

Sir Harry Edward Kane, of England, will be vital. I am really nervous I have to say.

OccultHawk 07-02-2018 02:38 PM

I’m not going to be able to watch it live tomorrow either :(

Cuthbert 07-02-2018 02:40 PM

I'll only see the second one but it's OK I don't care that much about the first one.
Switzerland and Sweden are both about the same level.

And you're such a saint, huh? Incapable of taking a joke? Seeing the funny side of things? You, who constantly refer to me as an island-dwelling, potato-eating Mick? Seriously, go boil your head. And while you're at it, look in the mirror.

That is clearly a two-way joke while I doubt you ever consider whether a Japanese person would appreciate "BANZAI!!!"

Goofle 07-02-2018 04:00 PM

Well, I'm gonna be working at Bierkeller - a German themed pub - in Liverpool during the England game. Liverpool. Fucking Liverpool. Pray for me lads.

Lingard also, MVP's to finish.

Cuthbert 07-02-2018 04:30 PM

Sir Harry is genuinely world class though.

In that elite group of players for me.

Saw an interview with him and he said he set a goal target for the World Cup and he hasn't even hit it yet but won't say what the number is. Hope it's about 10 :cool:

Sir Harry :cool:

Goofle 07-02-2018 04:45 PM

Should be a pretty easy win, but this World Cup has been anything but predictable based on ability.

I hope this is the case but Colombia have dangerous players.

It's a 50/50 game for me. But it will be the toughest of the draw until the semis or possibly the final. I really do hope the players turn up and we don't get another Iceland performance.

Goofle 07-02-2018 05:07 PM

They have one particularly good player in James. The rest are predictable and easy to deal with.

Better start reading that English-Scouse dictionary! :laughing:

Best to England tomorrow #TopLads #ItsComingHome #IrelandBacksColombia :)

Goofle 07-02-2018 06:07 PM

It is coming home to be fair. Back to Buenos Aires.

It might. Brazil might pass through Croatia on their victory tour, you never know.

Cuthbert 07-03-2018 11:05 AM

Am actually feeling nervous now.

Good luck to our team tonight.

🌷

The Batlord 07-03-2018 11:10 AM

I hope England wins the World Penis so Fluff really gets to hit rock bottom when Aston Villa disbands.

New ownership. Smaller revenue since relegation, needed to win the play off final and get promoted but lost, another year in 2nd division, tax owed and the owner can't get his money out of China.

Was planning on rooting for them and cov when the championships resume.

Safe from folding, maybe.

We're in a real mess at the moment though. Hope Cov can get promoted again too. They are far too big to be where they are. Were a PL regular and I love the Ricoh.

Cuthbert 07-03-2018 11:48 AM

James Rodriguez not even on the bench?!
