The only people not enjoying it probably are the press (gutter and tabloid) and the politicians who were all telling us that it would be full of hooliganism, racism, unwelcoming anti-western natives. Just shows what bull we are fed on a daily basis. The Russians have nailed it and shown the world how to run a tournament. Entertainment wise its been superb but I think it's lacked a bit of quality of previous World Cups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we perform we have a chance to do well 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethel The Tree Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Croatia 1-1 Denmark ... Fairly dull game that didn't live up to it's blistering start Croatia have the better players, but only showed up in patches Denmark looked stronger and more organized, but rarely threatened I was just hoping for anything that might spare us from extra time - no such luck But then, 115th minute, a Danish foul prevents an open goal and the penalty is saved More drama in the shoot-out but it seemed only fair that Croatia progressed Although, as we all know only too well, penalties are a lousy way to lose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethel The Tree Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Brazil 2-0 Mexico ... The day may come again when I watch Brazil in action and feel privileged at the final whistle Of witnessing players gifted with unique talents, the likes of which only come around perhaps once in a generation Talents blessed with the ability to entertain and astound in equal measure Or individuals capable of lighting up a packed stadium and winning a tight game single-handed Instead I feel as though I've been subjected to yet another pitiable, embarrassing display based around over-reaction and geared towards influencing the officials and earning every unfair advantage that's going *To his fans, teammates and coaching staff, he's a legend To me, he's just a mardy piece of work who gives sportsmen everwhere a bad name Just a shame Mexico didn't have sufficient quality in the side to send him packing *Just to clear up any misunderstanding - I really f'kin hate Neymar 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
