Let's be grateful for the Russian cameramen who continue to defy western feminism and give the majority of male watching public what they want.![]()

Although, the couple of Russian women the camera kept on scanning back to during their last match were fabulous.

Re: The ONLY World Cup thread (merged)
Watched the England game last night on replay and I've got to say I'm not carried away by the result. Had Panama stuck to playing football and cut out the wrestling crap they would have got a better result. They created three very good goal scoring opportunities in the first half. I'm still not convinced by Pickford in goal, I don't like the way he leaves the goal open when he receives the ball inn open play, he's gonna get caught out if a player with great technical ability intercepts and takes a shot from 40 yards plus.
Saying that I think Belgium v England will be the game of the tournament, the best of the premier league together in one match. The pace of that game won't be matched by any other two countries as both team play at Premier League pace. England will win if Witsel and Boyata start for Belgium as they are well off the pace.
Only, Russia have been a surprise to me in this tournament so far, and its turning into a classic Word Cup. Certainly not missing the Dutch or Italians.

Re: The ONLY World Cup thread (merged)
It's just a pity that the England v Belgium wasn't the first game of the group rather than the last. I think both side will introduce a few of the stiffs so we're not really going to see both sides truly going at it.
Not sure finishing top of the group leaves you in the best position to go deeper into the tournament either......

Re: The ONLY World Cup thread (merged)
Germany were only marginally better in their second game than in their first. It still took a very very late Kroos wonder strike to grab the 3 points. They easily could have drawn or lost that game. I thought after the poor showing in the first game they would take off and hit form but they still look dodgy. There are rumours of rifts and cliques in the camp and a few of their heroes from 2014 are showing they have gotten leggy... Sami Khadira being the most obvious.
I still wouldn't bet against them hitting form though. They are still a top team with some top class players. And I wouldn't bet against Ozil either scoring or setting up a vital goal for them.
What really surprises me is the amount of mong Gooners that seem delighted Ozil was dropped as if that proves their ridiculous agenda that he is lazy and not world class. I would have thought a true Gooner would want ALL our players to have decent world cups so they could come back motivated and ready to go for the new season. But no, some idiots would rather hope their silly agenda gets brownie points on an Internet forum.

VAR has added another level of drama to this World Cup. Incredible stuff here. Literally flicking through both channels.

Iran were a disgrace during that second half, referee hadn’t a fucking clue and they made an absolute joke out of VAR.
That was embarrassing.

6 in the morning here in Sydney. I was flicking through both the Spain vs Morocco and the Iran vs Portugal games and both the VAR decisions were going on at the same time when Spain were on the brink of getting eliminated.

Uruguay vs Portugal has the makings of a grubby game. Shame one of those teams are going to have to go out of the World Cup so early though.

Iran are a fucking disgrace so good riddance to them. As for the ref and the VAR team wtf were they on to give that penalty.
Ronnie missing his pen came back to bite the Portuguesers at the end of the day.........

Also Morocco were minutes away from beating Spain. That could have been an incredible result.

You're kidding surely, Uruguay have been a dirty bunch of *word censored* since way back in the 50's or even before and I mean really dirty, just watch some old footage if you're really in to the history of the game.SydneyGooner wrote: ↑Mon Jun 25, 2018 8:13 pmUruguay vs Portugal has the makings of a grubby game.

And Portugal with Ronaldo and his winking fucking eye against his CLUB TEAM MATE, fuck that, I'd rather a Hitler Youth team qualify instead of them

Re: The ONLY World Cup thread (merged)
Torreira was excellent vs Russia.
I'm so excited by this signing. He's the DM we've sorely lacked.

Re: The ONLY World Cup thread (merged)
Liam Brady was hilarious and right on RTE last night. He said the ref was a joke and a disgrace for not sending off the Ladyboy for the elbow. He said it was typical FIFA the most corrupt sports body in the world wanting the big name players in the tournament no matter what they do.... and the poxy know-nothing pc fuckwit presenter nearly shit his pants live on air. Quality entertainment.
Iran for their part are a disgrace. But in all honesty this world cup for me has just confirmed where the game is in general.... a money obsessed shit fest played by selfish self obsessed pampered diving cheating posers, run by corrupt spineless pc wànkers and watched by snowflake bandwagon jumping insta-fans.....
