World Cup 2018 countdown!!!!

Russia handing the smack down to Saudi Arabia.


Was just looking over the Russia roster....lots of names you'd expect: Akinfeev, Ignashevich, Kutepov, Zhirkov and then there's Mário Figueira Fernandes ...you know....the RUSSIAN football player

Yeah.... that one raised my eyebrow as well.

I'm on a quest to watch as many games as possible, and watched this one. What a bludgeoning Russia gave Saudi Arabia. The announcer nailed it when he said the final whistle couldn't come fast enough for the Saudis.

Did you catch Putin all smiles sitting with the FIFA president and the Saudi Crown Prince? LOL...... on that 5th goal Putin gave that "Michael Jordan shrug" as if to say..... "What can we do? They're ALL going in."

Our area in the office has got colombia in the draw and have to decorate it for what the country is famous for.

Any suggestions?

@smashup might have some?

Pablo Escobar bunting in an alternate style..... Pablo - Rolled up bank note - Pablo - Rolled up bank note

Anyone using the Fifa predictor? Proper pony it is. I had Russia 4-0, gutted when the 5th went it. I had Uruguay 1-0 as well. I think if it had stayed at 4-0 I'd have our work comp wrapped up already

I was thinking Gold, Emeralds and bananas is what they are famous for.

I know the Saudis are shit but Russia do look a decent side.
Doing a hardcore beer/footy sesh tomorrow, round my mates from 10.30am (already told the women to fuck off for the day)
The plan is to watch all the games and drink as much beer as possible
Group D is the best group for me so looking forward to watching both those games and i got a feeling France will go far, young team on a 12 match winning run and with a front 3 of Dembele, Griezmann and Mbappe they probably have the best forward line of any nation.

Yes 4 matches on tomorrow, so far todays matches have been boring Iran and Eygypt have been poor. There will be 46 teams in 2026, far too many.

[Mark TKO]

Yes and just two matches in 16 groups of 3. That’s ridiculous.

They got rid of 3 team groups because of tactical play.

See Austria v West Germany 1982 for the worst example ever of this.

48 teams means money but fuck me how they honestly think it will work is beyond me

Cunts

Spain 3-3 Portugal!!!!

What a match and goals.

[El Kabong]

OOOOOH glorious....eat a dick Sergio Ramos bet you're wishing you elbowed De Gea in the head

Watched 1 1/2 games today.

Was actually rooting for Egypt, as I can't stand "Dracula" Suarez. Uruguay pulled it out with some major league flopping at the end, and Egypt lost a hard-fought battle.

Spain-Portugal was a classic! Ronaldo really deserves all the accolades. That being said, both Nacho's goal and one of Diego Costa's goals were both more impressive than Ronaldo's goals.

Nacho's goal in particular was amazing, a curving laser shot that bounced in off the post.

Spain generally outplayed Portugal and must be bummed out by the tie.

Ultimately the goalkeeper error cost Spain the victory

France are piss poor, whoever thought they would win needs shooting.

Recap so far:


Argentina must be crushed at having been tied by Iceland. Messi wasn't too sharp, and missed a golden opportunity by having a penalty shot blocked.

Denmark just beat Peru 1-0. Was a bit boring at first, but it picked up. Good game by Danish goalkeeper. Had some impressive saves.

Might watch some of Croatia vs Nigeria... but at some point gotta get ready for tonight. Having dinner in San Juan before heading over to the fight card tonight.

Messi penalty cost them the victory.

Peru were the better team.

Forget the Nigeria match and watch the boxing. Hope their are nice ring card girls.
