You might want to stop this.

We always live in hope.

We always live in hope.

Yup, but you're fuelling the fire that you've literally beaten Tunisia and Panama and you're thinking about the World cup final.

Do it quietly is my very genuine advice because I'm also tired of Hugh.

We have hope, were not realistic but oh well we all believe. It's fucking coming home

 

[Bilo]

Oh god.

 

[JimJams]

They're the fittest fuckers at this tournament! Whether they're doing it by legitimate means is another matter...

I think a few getting cramp with 20 odd minutes of normal time still left indicates otherwise.

Or do you just mean they're attractive?

If you can't be optimistic with this draw, then when can you. False modesty is for self-serious bores and football bloggers (apologies for the tautology). It's a fantastic opportunity and anyone who isn't excited is lying through their fucking teeth.

 

[Nilsson]

There was no way that VAR team was going to give a penalty against Russia with a few minutes left, no matter how obvious.

Hard to disagree with anything Clattenburg says here.

Commiserations, Salty - that's Scotland and Spain out of the World Cup now.

I was posting that for Pags.

Dunno what you mean about us being out of the World Cup, we were never in it to begin with! *Awaits a dissertation response from St Juste about self-pity, populations and Scottish overachievement*

I never knew Michael from I'm Alan Partridge was a ref.

HAHAHAHAHAHHA

That match yesterday was like that scene in the souq from Indiana Jones and the Raider of the Lost Ark where the skilled Arabian swordsman shows off his flashy sword skills to Indiana Jones who just shoots him.

 

[Abertawe]

This tournament is such a win for Putin.

 

[mase]

We always live in hope.

'We still believe.... We still believe'

 

[rudebwoyben]

This tournament is such a win for Putin.

Does anyone know if he was at the match or not?

 

[Abertawe]

Does anyone know if he was at the match or not?

Wouldn't surprise me if he was there but undercover. No way does Putin boy put himself in a position where his emotions can be read - always keep them guessing!

 

[Stevencc]

He's the VAR tsar.

 

[mistermagic]

Anyone else reckon this game was rigged? Pique's conceding of the pen was uncharacteristically stupid and Spain just did not move for 2 hours which is strange given the array of talent they have (Silva, Navas et al). Also, Hierro's subs seemed to me too stupid to be true. Why the fuck do you take of Costa, possibly one of the world's most lethal CF?

This stinks I tells ya.

 

[G.B]

Nope, not rigged. South Korea vs Italy was rigged, this was just Spain doing that pointless possession game they sometimes do and a debatable penalty not being called. Their only drive in midfield came from Isco, the rest of them were too indecisive.
