Russia World Cup 2018

[__SKYe]

Well, we're out... One thing I can say is that Uruguay was very effective. Very few oppurtunities but damn if Cavani and Suarez aren't a great pair.
Congrats.

[neorichieb1971]

Uruguay aye.

The better team won. Its kinda shaping up now. I'm liking where this is going. Suarez needs to spend more time of the game actually on his feet though.

Government boys: OH NOES! Now what are we going to do to entertain the masses for the rest of Summer, Mr. President?
Marcelo: Hmm, this is job for SELFIE MAN!

[Steamflogger Boss]

Oh boy oh boy oh boy. We have a game on our hands.

[Mero]

Looks like extra time could be on the cards..

[Mero]

Spain out, then

[Bananamatic]

slavs are the most powerful people in the world

[Steamflogger Boss]

One of Croatia, Russia and Denmark in the semi, lol. Croatia have been playing well, but still. Winner of England/Colombia will certainly like their chances to reach the final.

[Bananamatic]

how was that foul a yellow

[Durandal]

jeeeeeeeeeeesus

The match itself was unbelievably bad, both teams choking ridiculously hard out of disbelief for finally making it out of the groups for once but being completely shell-shocked after the first two goals. That penalty foul at the end should have most definitely been a red
But that shoot-out, unbelievably tense.

ZA DOM SPREMNI, may the strongest slav win

[Steamflogger Boss]

If VAR can't make that a red card, what good is it?

[d3vak]

Strong candidate for most boring match of the WC

[youngmoneySWE]

A shame that the last two games have been snoozefests - teams playing it super safe. Shoot-outs are kinda fun but sitting through 120+ minutes of zzz is not really Worth it. Here's hoping that this doesn't become the norm for the remainder of the games during elim round. Very happy for Uruguay and France though, those matches were sick.

[Durandal]

Yea, Mexico played rather badly and deserved to lose here. We also got to see Neymar at full Neymar Power after having his healing foot getting stepped on. Which would have been a red had it not been the overreacting douche that is Neymar.

But a more pressing question awaits us:
Which is superior, Franco-Belgian comic books or manga?

I know, I glanced over and genuinely thought he was being fucked in the ass. Part and parcel™

Japan looking good, 2 great goals.

[BIL]

Horeh shiet...

edit: fuck me, Japan caught dead to rights by that cross header. Lucky escape. edit: luck ran out! Pair of beauties from Belgium, especially the improbably dead-angled first.

Been a great match so far - nonstop action, constant threats and no fucking diving. Always appreciated the yanks and the Japanese for that.

edit: and that's that. Bravo to both teams! An electrifying early lead and a relentless fightback to salvation.

[Mero]

And they've blown it right at the end

Think Brazil will fancy their chances in the quarter final.

[Durandal]

Japan played beautifully, but Belgium's comeback was even more beautiful.

[null1024]

Absolute stunner of a match. Good shit right out the gate. Beautiful goals all around.
that amazing last-second comeback goal
was rooting for Belgium, but either result wouldn't have gotten me upset since I want Brazil to win again

[GaijinPunch]

Yeah, that was a bummer. Would love to have seen Japan get past the Round of 16 for a change.

[M.Knight]

Damn, what a match.
I am kinda bummed too that Japan didn't qualify for the next round as their performance was great, but their goalie wasn't up to the task and their corner kicks haven't been great all around, so that last-second counterattack was not really surprising.
I initially thought Belgium was goign to win without too much troubles but both teams really deserved to win actually. That close win will probably be a good wake-up call for Belgium, especially since they are up against Brazil next.

Great football match. Absolutely wonderful to see both sides freaking go for it all match. Japan lost with full marks for honor and dignity.

I too wanted Belgium to win, purely from a neutral pov and wanting to see a good match next round. No offense to Japan, but it would have been hard to keep the magic going another match against another power.

[Durandal]

[Specineff]

I wasn't expecting Mexico to win, yet I am disappointed. After losing to Sweden and Brazil with zero goals in favor, the victory against Germany feels like a fluke. Not even to the quarter-finals... bleh.

[Steamflogger Boss]

This turned out to be a pretty shit German side tbh. Ready for a new manager.

[neorichieb1971]

Dying to see if England's easy passage strategy is going to work for them. I mean what excuses are left if the easiest passage is too hard for them?

Lets see.

[BIL]

None. That's when we'll have reached the stage of Acceptance.

[KAI]

feel bad for japan


never forget soccer is a pro sport there thanks to tsubasa

[Tooly]

Great match! I was so happy when Japan went up and sad to see such a standard mistake at the very end of the game, you could see what was coming a mile off.

I have money on columbia winning tonight 2-1.
