Wales. Man, that's tough.
Wayne 'Karate" Hennessey the Goalie sent off.
Then two last minute goals by Iran.- OK, this makes me feel marginally less bad about Canada's lack of results in their first match.Continuity
- Iran deserved the win though, like Canada but even more so.Beeswax
- Underdog stories are always a pleasure. Good on Iran.Continuity
- I think it was a battle of the underdogs. Wales haven't qualified for the world cup since 1958!Morning_star
- Iran so far away from Wales in terms of quality and finishingstoplying

Good heavens. Argentina just lost to Saudi Fucking Arabia.
- I wonder how much is lost in bets just for this game. I was too busy to put money on Arg.Beeswax
- @Beeswax right, was thinking the same. Imagine you where telling your friends putting your money on the saudismilfhunter
- Kirchner, your boys took one hell of a beating.Chimp
- HOW?!grafician

Messi has glue on his feet, Ronaldo has glue on his hair...
- haha_niko
- lolKrassy
- And all the refs have glue on their wallets.shapesalad
- do they wait to last minute to announce who the refs are?hotroddy

Oh, dear.
I think it's all over for Croatia.
- they can still win at penaltiesgrafician
- You have no idea what the score line is, do you?Continuity
- 3 - 0 but there's still timegrafician
- they won't recover from this.milfhunter
- Luka Modrić needs a fucking hair cut. It grosses me out that hair, especially the middle parting. yukshapesalad
- Always looks greasy and unwashed.shapesalad
- They can still catch up in the 9th inning.palimpsest
- Oj wellgrafician
- Home run!monospaced

What's to stop a team from all gathering around their striker as he has the ball and forming a protective group around him, then running up pitch and sticking it in goal?
- Well, the offside rule, for one.Continuity
- Another terrible refChimp
- That and obstruction errorstank02
- Because it's soccer, not football.palimpsest
- The other team?
This ref’s a helmet.MrT

First spain now portugal, Allah's army is crushing Christian visigoths. Everything is just like 711 AD
- Dont take it so serious guys :) they are neither visigoths nor an army of anything. no more messi ronaldo final. Shit!Beeswax
- Haha. The strange death of Europe.Fax_Benson
- This is what happens when you steal a winning teams kit.shapesalad
- ^ some truth in that !spl33nidoru
- funny that everybody speaks about Arabs but the trainer himself speaks about an African country. for me it's both.oey_oey
- The reconquest of Al-Andalus lolKhurram
- They mention Africa a lot because no African team ever made it this far in a WCspl33nidoru
- For me, it's a Muslim team that waves the flag of Palestine. Allah-o-akbar! lolKhurram
- milfhunter2
- South Korea is having some troublesmilfhunter
- Yeah, I don't think they'll recover from this.Continuity
- 3:0 at 29' ... Korea are getting battered.Continuity
- Brazilians acting a bit too cocky, they'll deserve a reality check after thatspl33nidoru
- I don't think that'll be coming with it now at 4:0Continuity
- Agreed. seems like they forget how shitty they have been playing before this matchmilfhunter
- It will come down to FRA v BRA in the finals, I think.Continuity
- @spl33nidoru reality check was that 7x1 in the last world cup lolfeel
- @milf, let's be honest: the fact that Korea got through to the R16 was just plain dumb luck on their part.Continuity
- @Conti True Truemilfhunter
- But, such is football. A clearly better team like Japan lose their match against a tired and disinterested Croatia by shitting bed on spot kicks.Continuity
- And a clown car like Korea manage to luck their way into the R16.
The way it goes.Continuity - @feel that should make them more humble when the tables are turned. Germany would have scored more had their coach not told them to be kind to the host countryspl33nidoru
- Jogi seriously said that?Continuity
- Yup
https://bleacherrepo…spl33nidoru - @spl33 Brazil doesnt give a fuck about respect.milfhunter
- Do you think the Japanese style beer, special for world cup, will be discounted now in Aldi?shapesalad
- We'll see Neymar cry in a few daysspl33nidoru
- I dunno about that. I think Brazil are going to spank Croatia.Continuity
- Agreed, first they'll spank Croatia, then they'll get shushed.spl33nidoru
- Gardener2
- technically it was still on the line by 1mm, and so still in play...shapesalad
- So, is the question, how did Japan beat Spain and Germany - or - how did Costa Rica beat Japan?toemaas
- Congrats to Japan, but in my understanding this ball is clearly out. I don't care. Didn't expect Germany to go one round further.SimonFFM
- This looks out to me.Chimp
- All of a sudden Germans aren't so strict on rules anymore.palimpsest

Nobody. I'm boycotting it. Fuck Qatar.

- Long live Luis Figo.ideaist
- A bit unfair. He won the European Cup, a victory that was first for Portugal happened not even in Figo's time. Other than that he has several achievements.Beeswax
- Messi is a football nerd, low key high achiever, C. Ronaldo is your classic star player but still a high achiever.Beeswax
- He's still a whingey, self-important cunt.Continuity
- most high profile players are prima donna's anyway in different ways. Ibrahimovic, Balotelli, Suarez etc here's a list of themBeeswax

Arg 1-Fra 0
- That penalty call was mushy. Come on ...Continuity
- 2-0 now...Miesfan
- France are getting disassembledContinuity
- France has a tendency to start slow and doubt, we can turn the tables if we manage to score before the half timespl33nidoru
- I didn't come to Paris for this.palimpsest
- On a side not I've been fascinated by the typography on Argentina's kitspl33nidoru
- Their kit is ghastly. The two stripes on the back look like someone fucked up with the sewing.Continuity
- Excuses, excuses? https://theathletic.…Ianbolton
- Can the Argentines keep that up for the second half? Cruel penalty though.Ianbolton
- Yeah the numbers seem made of gaffer tapespl33nidoru
- I think they might be able to, unfortunately. On the other hand, words will most certainly be said in the FR dressing room at the half. So we'll see.Continuity
- Argentina will start the 2nd half confident, France can come back with a vengeance. It will be amazing if they manage to.spl33nidoru
- France have finally turned up to the match, ffsContinuity
- Wow 2-2!!!Miesfan
- Yes!!!!!palimpsest
- Wrong!!!!milfhunter

ARG 2-1 CRO !
Wishful thinking.
I'd prefer for France to beat Argentina for the Cup than face Croatia.- I've gone Croatia 3:2
in the bookies they said I'm madGardener - ^ they don't know shit!
It could very well go Croatia 3-0spl33nidoru - Just turned it on and thought "why are all those refs chasing the ball?".. go croatia's kit. Looks like a ref kit.shapesalad
- The win tonight will be powered by Yerba Mate.shapesalad
- i do feel sad for CRO.milfhunter
- I've gone Croatia 3:2
- Krassy4
- *In cockney accent: You could drive a bus through that gap mate.Chimp
- Would changing the rule to when the mid point of the ball crosses the mid point of the line make a difference?Chimp
- ^ If that had been in place, then Canada would have equalised against Morocco.
Sigh.Continuity
- Continuity0
Belgium v Morocco now. If it's a goalless draw, then Canada will still have a bit of a fighting chance (assuming Herdman starts Larin this time, and the forwards actually finish).
- And, for the love of god, don't let Davies take the spot.Continuity
- And I hope Buchanan finally learns to fucking pass, instead of blowing his load prematurely.Continuity
- You’re all in on Canada, eh @Continuity? I had to take gravel before that first game to calm the stomach...ideaist
- Well, I kind of have to be, yeah? Since one of my two passports is a CA one, and I was born in Ottawa ...Continuity
- Indeed you do! I’m French/Dutch/Canadia... SOOO always wearing 3 jerseys like a hybrid.
: )ideaist - I'll go back to supporting FR after CA exit stage left. :PContinuity
- We accept all of you les amis!spl33nidoru
- Morrrrrrrrocco!! HahaIanbolton
- Boom!Chimp
- A second goal too. Loves these “minnows”hardhat
- God damn.Continuity
- This means Canada has to score big, because it looks like this group is going to all come down to goal difference.Continuity
- Krassy2
Japan vs Costa Rica - what a mess! LOL
- That first half was just abominable.Continuity
- looked funny! world class futbol! LOLKrassy
- how the hell did Japan beat Germany??Krassy
- How the hell did both Japan and Costa Rica qualify?? LOL!Krassy
- Shit, I missed it. Worth a replay or just garbage ?spl33nidoru
- "highlights"
https://hoofoot.com/…Gardener - @spl33nidoru Yeah, pretty much garbage. The first half, I'm not even sure what game the two teams were playing. It wasn't football, that's for sure.Continuity
- Thanks Continuity, skip then. That would explain Germany's loss. Good teams can be disabled by lower teams with mind-boggling play styles.spl33nidoru
- Well, it should also be noted that DE simply shat the bed, in any case. They're a long, long way away (in the wrong direction) from their 2014 team.Continuity
- Right, it's a cycle. Will be interesting to see DE vs SP tonight.spl33nidoru
- I fully expect ES to win, probably 2:1Continuity
- Continuity3
Morocco 0:0 Croatia at the half.
Best possible outcome would be a goalless draw, and Canada scoring at least once (if not actually winning) against BE tonight.

- didn't age wellCalderone2000
- Yeah, not so much.Continuity
