buchan30 Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 I hope whoever commissioned this https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/44515740 is repeatedly violated with the World Cup trophy itself, fat end first. That is the result of over excited bbc executives on one too many liquid lunches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buchan30 Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Thoughts on the world cup so far? I’m enjoying it, Been an alright mix of good and bad games. A few results like the germany/mexico and brazil/Switzerland ones that haven’t been big shock upsets, Japan was probably the biggest surprise result given form etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway reasonable tournament thus far without being spectacular. Knock out rounds should involve some #VARSCENES.

Miguel Sanchez Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Speaking of VAR, here's a poorly written and/or edited piece on notable controversial World Cup moments that might have been changed with the system: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/44511770 You'll note that England's tournament winning goal which didn't cross the line isn't included. Gary Lineker also had the nerve to say the other day that England don't get the luck of decisions going for them at tournaments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernLights Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 BBC must be seething that the stadiums haven't been full of folk in full on KKK gear making monkey noises every time a player who isn't white touches the ball after all the build up they gave it.

pub car king Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Hopefully today's 3 games involve a f**k load of goals and at least one absolute doing. Fancy Ronaldo to show f**k all mercy for the opponents today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merkie84 Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Enjoying it so far but I can't remember a World Cup with so many poor teams. 48 team World Cup is going to be awful, might not even bother watching the groups in that one. Reduce it to 16 teams I say. ( I am fully aware this will never happen but how good would it be!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
