Adiós España
- No complainsspl33nidoru
- I was just watching it in a bar in Madrid and it was a very sad show.Chimp
- Now we'll see if CH will be sending Ronaldo out on his ass.Continuity
- Bias announcement: I hate Ronaldo with a passion.Continuity
- Don’t love him either, and I’m portuguesedmay
- Ronaldo on the bench for the beginning of the game!spl33nidoru
- It must suck for a national team to have a player the world hates, and suddenly the team becomes that player.Continuity
- And I don't just mean PT/Ronaldo. I'm not at all fond of Neymar, and Messi leaves me dryer than a nun's cunt on Ash Wednesday.Continuity
- The problem with these players is that they hide the rest of the team, they play for themselvesdmay
- True they give the impression they're the only big player, carrying the team. Portugal doing amazingly well without CR (i don't hate him tho)spl33nidoru
- Spain were arrogant, tried to be cute, and didn't give Morocco the respect they deserved. And I hate Busquets almost as much as I did Ramos. Adiós!MrT

- 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

- here he comes
here comes soccer beaver
he's a demon on wheelsYakuZoku - faaaaaack.milfhunter
- Shame japan couldn't get there penalties right.milfhunter
- They were very poor penaltiesChimp
- Bah. Fuck. Those first two PKs from Japan were garbage.Continuity
- seriously they don't know how to shoot penalties. overall good effort thoBeeswax
- here he comes
- milfhunter1
hope Japan will win.
- How much fun are Japan to watch!Chimp
- Well, Japan were certainly the better team overall, I think. Shame they shat the bed on the penalties.Continuity

spl33nidoru and Gardener, since you're our footy oracles around here ...
JAP v CRO tonight, who going to win?
Please tell me it's Japan.
- Haha, how's your long list of bets going Gardener? You significantly up?
I reckon Japan might edge it tonight. But Croatia have experience.Ianbolton - Japan have the pluck, though, that's for sure. But I think Croatia might have the edge, here, sadly.Continuity
- Japanese short Fibula leg bones = different pace/gait = will throw off the Croatians and lead to goals slipping through.shapesalad
- But wouldn't be handicapped by their limited field of vision by that logic?palimpsest
- Ufff, Japan are starting stroooooong.Continuity
- Is Gardener and spl33nidoru the QBN version of the octopus or other animal that chooses a winner before the match?Chimp
- Pretty much!
Damn, this match has some drama so far!Continuity - JAP 2:1 CROKrassy
- 1:0 so far!!!!!!milfhunter
- That Maeda goal was just delicious, from the short corner to the finish. The earned it!Continuity
- There's absolutely nothing here to suggest this was the same Croatia that spanked Canada, let alone reached the finals in 2018.Continuity
- @Continuity
yes they do! what a movementmilfhunter - Sorry guys, completely missed the game! I would have never guessed that outcome. Can't imagine Korea beating Brazil but that would be brilliant!spl33nidoru
- Brazil 4 :1 winners tonightGardener
- See, if the two of you had been around when summoned, Japan would have won.
Some talismans you two clowns turned out to be! :(Continuity - We let you guys down :( but we have a reputation to protect!spl33nidoru
- Did I say 4:1 to Brazil, sorry I meant 40:0Gardener
- @gardener You should have sticked with the 4:1milfhunter
- I was joking, I really did call it at 4:1 and won it at 17/1 a second sight I have, lolGardener

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
- I'm only going to believe it once Gardener calls it.Chimp
- FRA will go to the end. This team is tight, loves playing together, and is hungry to prove itself twice in a row.
- spl33nidoru7
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

- got 4:1 on England tonightGardener
- I dearly want it to be SEN 4:1 ENGContinuity
- Gardener, can you see the future?Chimp

- Well done Gardener!
Chimp : not in Madrid, sorry, it's all to protect my secret identity :-/spl33nidoru - that's ok, SetChimp

- 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

Goodbye USA

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

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.

- *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
- AQUTE1
I'm excited for JAPAN v CROATIA
I love this tournament
