World Cupski 2018 Thread 18:04 - May 20 with 110060 views | Lblock | I’ve been pretty non plussed about the Copa Mundial this year which is unusual as I’ve always loved it. Perhaps FIFA have contributed to my overall “fcuk it” view to the modern game, I’ve never felt so remote from a tournament Inger-Lund have been in. Part of me hopes it lives up to the scam it is with Russia being awarded 317 penalties in the group stages, empty stadiums with Escape To Victory dubbed crowd cheering noises all capped off with a plucky squad of kids winning it so rhino nose becomes Sir Gareth Current questions for those buzzing about it or who simply know:- 1. Any good Apps for iPhone anyone come across? (Preferably free) 2. Can anyone recommend a Fantasy Competition for the tournament? I’ve been asked to run one at work; think the Sun used to do a simple one; no idea if they are as I haven’t bought a newspaper this decade. 3. Any players people recommend sticking in above / hidden jems???? 4. What fixtures do we think are ones to make an effort to watch out of the current group stages? May have to organise work schedule and ensure a regular spot in The Leicester Arms on Warwick Street for any midweek afternoon games 5. What nation picks up the Jules Rimet this year for you? I’m thinking probably Germany but the last time they tried to conquer all the Russia issue didn’t work out well for them | |

Exactly. The Swedish defending in the last 20 minutes reminded me of the way we defend away from home; standing off and giving loads of space, allowing crosses in with no pressure on the ball etc. With the inevitable result, as you say a ludicrous challenge to give away that free kick when they had the draw in the bag. | | | |

Again, what we do away from home, cannot hold onto the ball to get a result. | | | |

Totally agree. Deserved to lose for being thick tw@ts. Thick as sh#t both ends of the pitch. Brain dead. Especially the geezer with the worst beard in history. Did it twice in two minutes! | |

No, Germany didn’t deserve it. They should have been 2-0 down with 10 men. But yes, Sweden made a right hash of it in the last 20 minutes. Hey ho. | |

World Cupski 2018 Thread on 03:34 - Jun 24 with 2808 views | FDC | That Germany free kick had shades of Seaman getting lobbed, just a total inevitability about it. Absolutely gutted. Another cracking game though. [Post edited 24 Jun 2018 3:35]

The Guardian podcast has just been talking about a set of final group game results that leads to Germany failing to go through because of their red card -- at some point it goes on disciplinary record. | | | |

Would fancy us against all of them but would prefer to play Japan I think Colombia and to a lesser extent Senegal could show up our defensive frailties | | | |

By choice, certainly not Colombia! Poland were awful, but some of the movement & passing from Colombia was superb. I expect the game on Thursday night to be played in a manner to avoid them! | | | |
