    • In my ideal soccer model, that is a red card, go fuck around somewhere else.maquito
    • If anyone watches this without knowing anything about football, it looks like a child making a tantrum because they got his ball. Pathetic.maquito
    • Ridiculous!chukkaphob
    • Jesus fucking christ. Imagine being stuck in the same room as him and Ronaldo for an hour, with no windows and a locked door.Continuity
    • And suarez! Don't forget about suarez!maquito
    • Well, at least Suarez could be counted upon to finally lose it and eat the other two.Continuity

    • Reminds me of US Republicans tbh...whatthefunk
    • I just see a baby throwing a tantrum because they took his little soccer ball away and he doesn’t like to share.monospaced
    • I really think he is crazy, out of mind. Imagine being him... Being worth 220 million Euros... and all you can do is kick a ball.sandpipe
    • quite good, by the way.sandpipe
    • Have some fucking self respectwagshaft
    • his foot had to be amputated after the matchdocpoz
    • what a piece of shit...pedromendez
    • If that's how badly hurt he was getting his ball stolen, how the f*ck did he put up with getting those tattoos?!!!microkorg
    • Dick. Whoever said Ronaldo was in the same league as this cunt at acting is wrong. Suarez is though.Hayzilla
    • I have a solution.1st play acting offence: Remove players boot (best foot) for 10 mins. 2nd offence: Shoe is thrown into crowd never to be returned.mrAtor

    Would you not say England deserve it more than Croatia?
    I get that the world hates our country although not really sure why.

    Look at the 44 players in the Semi Finals.
    32 of them play in England.

    Football deserves to come home!!

    • The team deserve it, none of them seem like the overpaid fannies they had in the past.PhanLo
    • why would you say the world hates England?Krassy
    • ^ Because they really do mate. You are obviously not English. Even other British countries hate the English.Hayzilla
    • ^ Jealousy is the tribute mediocrity pays to genius.Morning_star
    • ^ "although not really sure why"kingsteven
    • I grew up self-conscious of being a Brit abroad - all I ever saw were our failings. the older I got, the more I realised every other cuntry's just as bad.detritus
    • The Spanish and Italians auto-ghettoise overseas, as the Brits do - the French and Dutch have chavs worse than ours, The Germans.. well, we're twins.detritus
    • We shoudl all gang up on those bloody pristince Scandi cunts. Fucking perfect fuckers that they are. Except the Danes, they're like us too, except flatter.detritus
    • @Hayzilla I'm from the US and I've never picked up on a ant-England sentiment :-)Krassy
    • That's because everyone hates the US even more than they do Englandset
    • @set is that what the newspapers tell you?Krassy
    • Wow, what’s with the self loathing? Everyone loves the brits, take em over the yanks any day lol. But seriously from the music to the films to the comedy your.._niko
    • Brand is strong. Great multicultural society, forward thinking and modern. So you’ve got a few retards, chavs etc, who doesn’t lol_niko
    • We all love you, Hayzilla! Don't be sad. Football's coming home.SimonFFM
    • England is great but it's in our DNA to be self loathing. And Krassy, I don't follow the news sunbream. If you're unaware of the general feeling...set
    • ...toward the USA outside of the USA, I suggest you get out of the USA once in a while..set
    • I mean I don't want to argue but to get defensive about people not liking America is pretty ridiculous.set
    • @set I'm currently living in France for the summer, I travel outside the US on a regular basis. People are people around the world, dude.Krassy

    • 1st you deserve nothing. 2nd really easy qualifying. 3rd deliberately lost to Belgium. 4th "Football is coming home" chat is arrogance personified :)mrAtor
    • re: deliberately losing to Belgium - is that not just strategy though? I don't see anything wrong with that. /PseudoScot here.detritus
    • ..better than fucking diving, whatever.detritus
    • Belgium were trying to lose too, lol.
      We're obviously better at it.
      set
    • I see, losing on purpose is "tactics" and diving is cheating, that makes sense.mrAtor
    • No, diving is tactics, losing on purpose is strategy.detritus
    • Good day to you, kind Sir!set
    • As a Liverpool fan, I'm happy to see Hendo get some fucking recognition for his hustle. I'm pulling for the Brits, but I don't hate Croatia mind you.stoplying
    • lol, "losing on purpose is strategy" pmsl :) enjoy the game, Dolazi kućimrAtor
    • Look he's still trying to get a bite, bless himset
    • Wait, would you like to bite my rubber chicken https://twitter.com/…mrAtor
    • you cute little whiny baby. take your loss in stride and return home to your mothers nippledocpoz
    • Come on lads it's just bantz, love my Morris Dancing cousins really xxmrAtor
    • Oh, now you've done it - I was just being all autistobloke and delineating actualities, but now you've invoked that Godawful 'Bants'.
      By Jove I hate that word.
      detritus
    • Soz brah, cos iz wel gel for realz :)mrAtor
    • Made yourself look like a reet tit intchaset
    • Why would anyone be sour of England? Brexit is great!instrmntl
    • In all honestly I'm pretty gutted about the loss. So close.instrmntl
    • To be clear, thinking England isn't good enough to be in the final doesn't mean you hate England. Don't take it personal.sofakingback
    • Ah naw, you fucked it. As they say in my neck of the woods, "England did a Hibs" :) Your team will peak in 2/4 years, Euros is the cup you will winmrAtor
    • hah, or the glorious double disappointment when they go to the euros talking about doing better. expectations of england fans/ press is unlike anywhere else.kingsteven
    • Why disappointed? Top 4 in the world is nothing to be sad about, be proud of the lads._niko
    • heh, no it's a great team and they did very well, but i'm not english and they really talk up a victory (hence relevance to OP) a team performing that well willkingsteven
    • only give them unrealistic expectations in 2 years. the odds of reaching a final in international football are so slim but unlike anywhere else they think theykingsteven
    • deserve it... great team, and fantastic performance... but so is every other team at that level, 'deserving' anything doesn't count for shit.kingsteven
    • didn't comment on this post at the time because it's such BS but i'd mentioned before about how much the nationalistic psychosis of England is generally wherekingsteven
    • the hatred stems from rather than 'hating the english'... i've watched the entire world cup with english mates, it's very easy for them to see what the issue iskingsteven
    • when watching a game in belfast, there's no hatred whatsoever... other than the natural reaction when having to listen to the english nationalistic commentary.kingsteven
    • again, great team and most folks here support teams in english leagues so massive cross over. i'm sure as is evident in the comments most english folkskingsteven
    • understand how fragile their national identity is. i'd like to think they'd understand that we're only embarrassed for them that they've chosen clive tyldesleykingsteven
    • and Lawrenson as their ambassadors for british (england, scotland, wales, northern ireland) broadcasting.kingsteven

    Such an amazing player.

      Best game i've seen in a long time.

    • He scored a soft penalty, a fuck up by the keeper and a free kick. I'd say he got lucky as did Portugal.Chimp
    • Amazingpinkfloyd
    • Yep he was brilliant, penalty was a bit suss though.MrT
    • Can't really fault the guyset
    • A dive, a keeper stuff up and a free kick. Lucky.HAMT

    no games today...

  • renderedred4

    so messi didn't show up against croatia either ;)

    • crotia playing really well btw.renderedred
    • Messi needs a team to show up with himlodef
    • Messi gets a lot of crap from people. He is just incredibly unlucky coz he is part of the worst argaytina generation in decades.VectorMasked
    • he has a handful of good teammates like Aguero, Higuain, mascherano. After that the quality is equal to what El Salvador or Guatamala have.VectorMasked
    • the greatest player surrounded by incompetent idiots.dorf
    • yeah? who was Maradona surrounded by?
      or
      _niko
    • http://img.over-blog…detritus
    • who's maradona?dorf
    • i get that he needs a team around him, but he was almost non-existent in both games. i am not much of a ronaldo fan, but does he have a better team around him?renderedred
    • they're not really comparable in that way though they are different types of players. Messi gets more assists. I do think Por have played better though.lodef
    • Portugal played much better, no doubt. Also credit to Croatia, they outclassed Argentina all the way.renderedred
    • Apparently the players choice forbthe team is based in influence and politics within the AFA and not based in the best players available...Salarrue
    • Messi, Higuain, Aguero, DiMaria, Mascherano, Otamendi. How is that like Guatamala? They have an amazing team. Baffling performances!Hayzilla

    "If I wanted to watch people not score for 90 minutes I'd go to the bar w/my buddies..."

    —some guy (American) waiting in line for coffee in front of me yesterday morning

    I'm sure it's been said a thousand times before... but I chuckled. :)

    • never heard it before, niceloool
    • Amusing, but so very American — the valuation of constant instantaneous gratification over the art, passion and heartache. Life ain't points.detritus
    • also, there was one 0-0 draw the whole fucking tournament so fuck him :-Dkingsteven
    • < Wide receiver.Morning_star
    • also, don't start me on American's favorite sport (Baseball) and ITS lack of action! Pfff.Krassy
    • Baseball actually comes in third behind US Football and Basketball... and you'd find many americans agree w/your 'lack of action' assessment on baseball :)PonyBoy
    • Maybe he’s the reason his buddies don’t score.MrT
    • ^ that too. LOL!Krassy

    • @STORM305 the 2022 World Cup Champions, that's who :-)Krassy
    • ...this game also prevents EU states from going to war with one another.robotron3k
    • ^ LOLKrassy
    • So you picked one of the two favourites. Well done, lol.set
    • The Qbn cup goes to krassy.shapesalad
    • @set nah, you're mistaken for Brazil or Germany. Try again. lolKrassy
    • who?STORM305
    • Top 3 in the world who just finished second in the euro and has a insanely talented and young core. What possessed you to pick these long shots? Lol_niko
    • But congrats, I hope you put some real money on them and didn’t just win qbn bragging rights._niko
    • Actually sorry, 7th ranked so good call :)_niko
    • Wow! QBN salty AF! lol. I was just having fun with this post; not looking for bragging rights or anything of the sort. Holy crap!Krassy
    • we're just having fun too, but holy shit, you're american and picked France to win it all? I take back everything i said lol_niko
    • @_niko XOXO :-)Krassy

    6 European teams left.

    • France: https://dj0j0ofql4ht…maquito
    • well, thanks for clearing that up :-skingsteven
    • Maquito you are a cunt. Those guys are French. My wife her dad is from Congo, that does not make her African.tank02
    • I was saying the same to a few friends. France consist of like 99% guys from AfricaHAMT
    • @maquito are you effin' serious? this is 2018, dude. Lame.Krassy
    • @HAMT don't be so ignorant. Can't believe in 2018 we have people judging people by skin color. Disturbing.Krassy
    • @tank - I suppose that depends upon your preference and perspective. Black Americans refer to themselves as 'African Americans' - are they all wrong?detritus
    • Tank -of course it does having a dad from the Congo means you have Congolese descent aka African descent, what’s wrong with that?_niko
    • Panama’s black population is 9%. their football team is 99% black, the government is .5% black is this ok or should there be some kind of parity?_niko
    • England looks like a pretty good representation of the country’s demographics but Sweden could use a splash of colour lol_niko
    • Nooo! Krassy, tank, please: I have absolutely not intended to make a discriminative judgement. No way. I feel horrible for being understood as a fucking racistmaquito
    • I feel it’s remarkable that france has several players with african roots, connection, surnames.. fuck I feel horrible :(maquito
    • Its OK Maquito.tank02
    • If Nigeria had 9 of 11 white players, you'd comment and call it a European team and no one would have an issue. They're French, but they're Africans. So what.set
    • It's like the people that jump to get offended by maquito's comment are implying that somehow being African is a bad thing...set
    • Otherwise why is his comment offensive?set
    • if their parents were Dutch or German you would never here about it. Identity politicsDillinger
    • i don't think the comment is racist, but it the context of a reply to a post stating that all the remaining teams are European it appears to suggest that thekingsteven
    • French team is less French because of it's ethnic diversity when they've actually opposed racial quotas on the national team on the basis of them beingkingsteven
    • constitutionally very un-french.kingsteven
    • Sarkozy said "setting quotas would be the end of the Republic" etc. As daft as national football is, the diversity of their team is IMO a better reflection onkingsteven
    • France than how well they kick a ball around a pitch... To make a jump from 'European teams' to 'European ethnicity' is a bit short sighted right?kingsteven
    • Given that it's also a frequent jumping off point for racist cuntery, without the context of maquito's later reply, tank was just right to call it out.kingsteven

    Japanese picking up garbage after win.
    https://www.facebook.com/mundode…

    • Is this a thing?dbloc
    • yea. it's realnudes
    • maybe in japan. dunno.hotroddy
    • Gathering waste after a sporting event is customary in Japan, the spectators’ actions came as a shock to football fans from other countries.dbloc
    • people of Japanese origin expressed how proud they were of the custom.dbloc
    • Propaganda - Not all Japanese like that. Sure Japan is clean, but they leave trash on beaches and after Hanami. Plus society is suffocating.shapesalad
    • so, this propaganda, and leaving all your shit behind is what?valentim
    • Japan produces 90% of all plastic, they better pick it updrgs
    • Shopping for bread in Tokyo = 3 layers of plastic: wrap sheet, small bag + ribbon, then in larger shop bag + tape to seal bag. for a simple baguette.shapesalad
    • I think it's more a case of, if they didn't pick up trash, boss back in Japan of salaryman football fan degrade him for bringing shame on Japan.shapesalad
    • And now a precedent is set: Japanese fans at international games must now clean up stadiums otherwise they bring shame on Japan. Didn't this start at Olympics?shapesalad
    • Sucks to be Japanese. Better to be English, where reputation at away football game is to get roaring drunk and engage in mindless violence.shapesalad
    • Fucken Japanese. They just gotta up everybody at everything.pango
    • I know Canadians are not far behind.hotroddy
    • @drgs 'Produces' being keyword. Japan is a productive society.hotroddy
