How do you feel about that, Fluff? I think you have a great chance. All-European semi-final. :D

I'm OK with it tbh. Should be good.

Akai 07-07-2018 02:58 PM

Russia will most likely turn up on our side of the stadium on Wednesday now.

Should be good for relations at the very least.

Yeah, Putin won't dare invade England now :laughing:

I tell you, I love Croatia but they're giving me a heart attack.

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

Occult - 7
Qwerty - 8
Rubbers - 7

What is Vancouver like in terms of rent. I'm genuinely curious. The cheapest 1 bedroom you can find here now is around 1k-1200. You can find subsidised apartments but they're very few nowadays.

Not on FB so can't see.

Whatever happens now, England have achieved their 3rd best finish at a World Cup at the very least. We had a last minute winner, a thrashing, a penalty shoot out win and a professional QF victory. Players should get a hero's welcome when they return.

Been a good World Cup for us.

Let's see how it goes from now :)

Goofle 07-08-2018 06:54 AM

Good work :D

What do you think now mate do we have a chance?

Goofle 07-08-2018 07:17 AM

Yeah of course. Croatia are decent but they are the kind of team that suits England. They keep the ball, we counter. Will be nice to face that kind of team rather than us trying and failing to dominate.

The final will be fun, but does anyone doubt Harry Kane?

rubber soul 07-08-2018 07:25 AM

I just found out my buddy from Croatia put money on England. Some patriot she is :laughing:

Nope. He was quite good again yesterday his hold up play was smart, OK he didn't score but he didn't need to and it's almost nailed on he will get the Golden Boot so well done to him.

Thought about doing the same (betting against my team). If England win happy days, if Croatia win the money may soften the blow a bit.

You can be English with us if you want.

You just have to get sunburnt, drink copious amounts of beer and throw plastic chairs at French people with us.

we are all england

Was looking at the odds again. We're second favourites.

https://www.oddschecker.com/football/world-cup/winner

There's not much in it between France, England and Belgium.

Would like The Hawk to tell us what Vegas is saying.

I still don't think it will happen by the way. We'll go out on Wednesday, just hope we could maybe win the third place play off I think the team will get bronze medals?

No hooping though. English people do not hoop.

Have more faith in your boys. I think this could be the one.

Ol’ Qwerty Bastard 07-08-2018 02:40 PM

i have no doubt england will be playing in the finals.

i am more worried about belgium making it, although i did predict france to win it all and do like a lot of their players, i would be very upset to see belgium make it that far and get sent home.

OccultHawk 07-08-2018 03:32 PM

Vegas has both France and Belgium over England by a **** hair.

Exo 07-08-2018 03:33 PM

Jesus Christ. I'm away from this place for a few days and it goes to sh*t. Glad you assh*les figured it out I guess.

Wrong thread?

Response to the TH/Batlord thing about ten pages back. I've been away from the computer for a few days. Had a few PM's about it. Old news I suppose.

Good boy.

OccultHawk 07-08-2018 03:45 PM

France 2/1
Belgium 5/2
England 11/4
Croatia 4/1

OccultHawk 07-08-2018 03:49 PM

Frankly I think those are ****ty payouts for guessing from a final 4

Yeah pretty much the same. There really isn't much in it between France/Belgium/England.

If it makes you feel better you can stroke my shaft. It's soothing.
