Huckleberry Posted June 29, 2018 Report Share Posted June 29, 2018 (edited) IMO, penalties are the worst possible way to decide any match. As a football fan I can say most of us don't mind penalties :D What I don't get is that people think Belgium and England played for 2nd place to avoid the 'stronger' bracket. England now has to face Colombia, and possible the Swiss (Qualified without losing for WC). And you got the team that played the best so far in Croatia. The other side of the bracket has a dissappointing Argentina and France, Brazil hasn't been solid but I expect them to be better. More scared of Mexico and Uruguay though.

sabills Posted June 29, 2018 Report Share Posted June 29, 2018 Tonight. 7PM. All-High Stadium on Main (Near UB). FC Buffalo playing against their rivals, the Erie Commodores, for a spot in the playoffs(probably). Come get it boys and girls. Its gonna get rowdy (or at least as rowdy as a crowd of about 2000 people at a highschool rooting for a summer league soccer team can get.)

Sabres Fan in NS Posted June 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2018 France is the best team in this World Cup, and I'm not even sure it's close Croatia. They are a very good side and have a golden path to the final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I disagree with your second point. I have not checked, but I am pretty sure that France and Croatia can only meet in the final. +++++ Don't cry for me, Argentina. Just pack your bags and go home.

Cavani is one of my favourite players and a real good guy. Plays as if he is still 25 at 31. Uruguay is undefeated / undrawn so far this WC. I think they will beat France in the Quaters.

I figured that was how he got to host this thing, but at some point Russia can't just keep advancing against clearly better teams. Then again, if there's anything more corrupt than the Russian government, it's Fifa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthEbriate Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 Spain-Russia is the first game I've seen all... Cup? Is "seen all Cup" the right turn of phrase here? Anyway, Russia is playing some tank-level possession numbers. There was a graphic a bit ago about possession being 75%-25%, and since then I think Russia has had the ball about 10 seconds to Spain's 10 minutes. When Russia does get the ball and try to take it upfield they can't complete a pass. It's very tank. Does anyone have a Russian tank gif? Preferably from Rambo III. And yet it's inexplicably 1-1 and could come down to penalty kicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
