AtariLegend Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Worried now that the previously extremely unlikely Russia/England semi-final is almost plausible now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Nova Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Russia just hand tackled 2 players in the box and no penalties called...lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Nova Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 If this goes to penalties, Russia has a decent shot...their goalie has been spectacular this match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtariLegend Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Russia still aren't winning this, but they have a chance to make the final. Especially if Croatia somehow lose tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvanG Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Louis van Gaal once said that they should replace penalties by corner stats. That way Spain would have won this match, and it would have been a lot more fair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiki taka is as boring to me as teams that park the bus for 90 minutes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lio Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 I love it when underdogs win Haven't seen the whole match, but seems like Spain dominated, but sucked as well. All the big favourites that went out, hadn't really shown anything worthy of their reputation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Nova Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Since both Italy & the US failed to qualify, seeing underdogs win is making this Cup at least somewhat interesting. I'm calling for an historic France Vs. England final. You saw it here first! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 It is the most open world cup ever really. Someone ''new'' could very well win it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvanG Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 I'm seeing Belgium getting close to victory more and more... which would really piss me off, even if they deserve it, because in all fairness, they have a great team. But it will probably be France. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killuridols Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 I will root for Uruguay until wherever they get and then I'll find another underdog, unless it is two big ones and I'll pick based on either their culture and/or politics. Yeah, that's me mixing it all up 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dislike Brazil and they have too many WC, it gets boring at some point! No feelings for the nordic teams, they are all so dull to me. Lol. I'll see what I do.

DieselDaisy Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 There are three very stodgy teams present in the Swiss, Swedes and Danes. Swiss v Swedes on Tuesday? That isn't exactly a fixture which will get people into the pubs, is it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariLegend Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 I turned 30 a few weeks ago, but the BBC constantly going on about vets and people, being no spring chicken is really depressing during this tourny. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I prefer tennis, the big four are all in their 30s, Federer even almost 37 and still at the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
