next gen messi/ronaldo

Yup, I'm looking forward to seeing Vinicius Junior playing for RM next season as well. Him and Mbappé are probably the next generation of superstars.

I dislike ronaldo and its nice to see him going home with messi. But i am torn with suarez going through and how Cavani played in the uk. Or not as it were.

But then i dont want either uruguay or france in the semis. Lol

France VS. England in the final. Book it

 

[Embattle]

Spain really bore the shit out of me.

 

[Rubber Bullets]

Well the easy side of the draw just got a whole lot easier.

Do you know what? I really reckon Columbia could go all the way!

 

[Moriath]

Anyone on our side of the draw has a good chance. Theres no stand out team tbh.

 

[Deebs]

The World Cup that keeps on giving....

 

[Rubber Bullets]

Means we are the only previous winners in our side of the draw, and Sweden are the only previous runners up.

 

[caLLous]

And I still think Croatia are the most likely to get to the final...

Ahem. They'll be playing us tonight. No chance they will play in the quarter finals

I want you lot to win because of Eriksen but I'm not optimistic on your behalf.

 

[caLLous]

The fuck do I know...

Edit - oh this is going to be a good game.

 

[Deebs]

Fuck me, what a start to a game. This World Cup is just surprising with every game, you cannot call anything. Fucking love it.

 

[caLLous]

Ok well it started well...

 

[CorNokZ]

FUCKING DONKEY DICKS!!!

 

[caLLous]

Shitty way to go out, especially as Croatia looked so tired for pretty much all of extra time. Some great stops from both keepers, though, especially Schmeichel vs Modric before the end of extra time.

 

[Moriath]

The Croatian defender should have gotten a red tbh.

Anyway. Saw this donno if its his real account but i giggled

 

[CorNokZ]

Since he misspelled his name, I can only assume it's his real account

 

[caLLous]

By Croatian do you mean Danish?

 

[Rubber Bullets]

The Croatian defender should have gotten a red tbh.

I thought the same but apparently not any more. There was a rule change a season or 2 ago which says that if it is a reasonable attempt to get the ball then a yellow and the penalty are punishment enough. To be fair he did try for the ball

 

[Rubber Bullets]

I was quite happy to see Spain go out yesterday but surely the biggest injustice yesterday was them not being awarded the penalty late in extra time, massive VAR cop out!

Strangely I'd watched Death of Stalin the night before and was imagining the VAR refs feeling exactly like Paddy Considine's character "oh fuck, what do we do? On one hand it was a pen, on the other I don't want to die"

 

[Rubber Bullets]

Very much relieved we avoided Japan!!

 

[Embattle]

If Belgium fail to turn this round it could be another gold generation team that is over rated.

 

[Embattle]

Also this competition is wide open since in my opinion no team has been any where near flawless yet.

 

[Job]

This is just fantastic..everything is about how you tell the story.

If Courtois was 10cm taller like Andre the Giant, he would have saved that second goal.

 

[DaGaffer]

Blimey. Feel for Japan but that was a great comeback.

 

[CorNokZ]

That's a counter attack in absolute World class

 

[Billargh]

This World Cup is a fucking belter, I love it!

 

[fettoken]

Get fucked Switzerland!
