England to take it all
- FRA will go to the end. This team is tight, loves playing together, and is hungry to prove itself twice in a row.
It won't be easy though.spl33nidoru - you call this sport soccer so idkgrafician
- also if you wanted for FRA to win anything you've had Zidane not Dechamps as a coach in todays footballgrafician
- Nah we call it foot over here.
No reason to replace Deschamps when he wins. He'll retire after this and Zidane will step in.spl33nidoru - pretty sure it's called soccer in NY and football in Paris :)grafician
- Oooh you rascal you! ;)spl33nidoru
- we'll see next saturday, stay tuned xoxografician
- yup, whatever happens it will be a good gamespl33nidoru

- Either is fine. But if you call it soccer because you use 'football' for a game that comprises throwing and catching an egg, then you get what you deserve.MrT

I say FRA 3 - 1 POL !
- I'm gonna say FR 2:1 PL.
PL are going to make Deschamps and his kids work for this.Continuity - It's interesting that Thuram, Coman, and Pavard are all on the bench for this one.Continuity
- I'm sure at least Pavard will come in if we score a 2nd onespl33nidoru
- Mbappe beat him to it! :DContinuity
- That was a good call @spl33nidoru!Chimp
- Damn, you called it!Continuity
- That first PK from Lewandowski, though ... awful.Continuity
- That final penalty was lame but it did make me right haha. We're fortunate for this new gen of players, that was a comforting game.spl33nidoru
- Estás en Madrid también?Chimp

Goodbye USA
- SOCCER IS COMING HOMEAQUTE

- Well, no shock, there.
I would laugh so hard if Australia sent Argentina home, though.Continuity - sOcCeRpalimpsest
- Soccer is correct toomonospaced

Cameroon - Brazil
What a weird game, don't think I've seen that to that extent before, feels like I'm watching basketball.
Brazil tries to score, fails. Cameroon catches the ball, runs all the way to the other end, tries to score, fails. Brazil catches the ball, goes all the way to the other end, tries to score, fails, and so on.

- ohAQUTE
- HahahahaChimp
- good one!SimonFFM
- Oh no lolContinuity
- feels like the line should be on the leftshapesalad
- as if looking from the goalies perspective.shapesalad
- also the red should be a bit brighter. and can we get a fifa logo top left?shapesalad
- *That's .33 repeating of coursekaiyohtee
- 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
- shapesalad0
- snap!shapesalad
- the grass is greener?BabySnakes
- The law is that the the ball is in play "if the curvature of the ball is over the line", irrespective of how small a part of it is.Beeswax
- @Beeswax, true! I wonder, after looking at this, the rule should be changedChimp
- It would be the same problem, there will always be a limit. Some people will always be on the other side of the line.palimpsest
- 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

- Would love for Japan to make itspl33nidoru
- Yup, me too.Continuity
- My partner, she's German, is watching it while I work. I had to check the results as she already screamed "oh damn" at least 7 times. I hope Costa Rica wins.oey_oey
- For a moment both Spain and Germany were going out.Chimp
- So far, it's a 2:2 draw. Germany drawing against a Concacaf team ... they're really slumming, now.Continuity
- @Chimp that would be massive!oey_oey
- Ooooh, looks like Germany might be saving their bacon ... 3:2Continuity
- specially if Spain scoresoey_oey
- 4:2! Nothing like the fear of swift and merciless recriminations from BILD back home to light a fire under your arse!Continuity
- Die mannschafted!Chimp
- Well, that's Germany out!Continuity
- I had 3:2 to Japan, pretty close!Gardener
- Seeing as CA crashed out (again), and FR don't need extra support from me, I'll go all-in on JP from here on in.Continuity
- It was a fair came, no yellow cards and a female referee who had everything under control. The better wins. Congrats to Japan!SimonFFM

We're losing interest in this, wrong time of the year for a WC
- Yup.
Wrong country, too.Continuity - Too cold for beer. It's like 4c here. Last thing I want is a beer.shapesalad
- Tell you what I'm not missing, though: seeing Jogi Löw on the touchline picking his nose, and sniffing his hand after he's rubbed his balls with it.Continuity
- Yup.

As a footballer outsider, this one seems really... quiet.
None of the uproar or public jubilation, no shouts from windows. nothing. I had no idea 'til checking that England - FUCKING ENGLAND, THE LOUDEST CUNTS IN THE UNIVERSE - won 3-0, even if against their brothers out in the West.
Just the time difference? If so, what about all the other tournaments worldwide?
- I think it's the fact that it's in morally-problematic Qatar that makes it more subdued.Continuity
- It's also cold outside. No one wants to waste expensive heat by opening a window to shout.Chimp
- Yeah, reckon it's the weather. Summer tournaments peeps are in beer gardens and hanging around in the street post-match. Too cold and wet for that.Fax_Benson
