Over 3.5 goals, Salah goalscorer / Russia win

8th best FORM team in the world apparently. Why are you saying this like it's not a fucking fact? That's literally what the FIFA Rankings do

Bit of a pet hate how people seem to misunderstand this aspec -, the FIFA rankings do not say who "the best teams" in the world are. They say which teams are in the best form.

Great anecdote about Koulibaly and Benitez. When Rafa was at Napoli, he called Koulibaly because he wanted to sign him. Koulibaly answered the phone, the guy on the other end said "It is Rafa Benitez", Koulibaly laughed and said "No it's not" and hung up. He did that three times until his agent called and told him to fucking answer Benitez when he called

Senegal have so many players that started out in Norway, I can't help but like them. Badou Ciss and Saliou Ciss arguing about which team is best in Northern Norway out of Tromsø and Bodø/Glimt had me sold, they're my team now Completely forgot that those were their first professional clubs and took a good minute until I realized why the fuck they were on about obscure Norwegian sides

:lol: Hurting my feelings now, nees. A 10-0 drubbing by Costa Rica will probably be worse, so I'm cheering for that.

I love the WC for things like seeing your FM legends live, come on Ferjani Sassi!

Sweden Think we all agree that Sweden is superior to Norway in every way I’m a big fan of Sweden. Not so much Denmark, though.

I don't understand how it's applied at all. full kit wankers in a studio watch evey incident back. If they think something was there, they tell the ref on the pitch who then goes and watches it himself. If an incident seems "missed", it's not the refs fault, it's the studio ones who see something different to everone else So they didn't watch the push for the Swiss goal? It just seems very arbitrary. Like, Ronaldo dove for a PK and they didn't say shit, and then the same kind of think happened the next day and they handled it differently, iirc. It's all over the place. They did, they watch them all ..they just didnt see it as a push so didnt bother referring it to the ref on the pitch. Still think VAR will be good, but it kinda defeats the point of missing decisions or getting them wrong when it's just people in a studio getting them wrong (even after seeing like 50 slow-mo replays) instead of the guy on the pitch On pitch ref can turn down the offer of VAR for things he’s already ruled on.

Strong and virile, yet inoffensive. I accept your compliment.

Schmeichel apparently told Cueva: «You got your nations hopes on your shoulders now, don’t miss» before the pen

The Hufflepuff of nations.

Let’s get some goals for the whole of Africa tonight.

I want us to sign Cueva.

This group is wide open, at least.

Since 2011, the Iceland keeper has saved 15 of 24 penalties against him.

Yeah Looks handy on limited viewing, think he’s rated around the 30m+ bracket though which maybe, just maybe rules us out

I wasn’t talking about you, Denmark.

Jesus christ, just score already.

i've never seen any VAR stuff before, it seems to be bang on so far no? doing exactly what it's supposed to do I wasn’t being sarcastic, I’ve been for VAR since day one

What a miss Fucking love VAR though.

All of 2010 was terrible imo. Absolutely hated mostly everything about that World Cup. Spain beating that horrible Holland was the only good thing in it.

hehehehehehe So are you dead yet? Big talk considering Y'all gonna get beat later. Saving it for the Nigeria game. Croatia are a bit shit, Mike. Don’t dig your own grave just yet (which I might do for myself now by calling croatia shit ) I mean they have Modrić, Rakitić, Mandžukić , Perišić, Brozović, Subašić, Kovačić, Kramarić. Thats a pretty decent team on paper. Admittedly just watched them four times in the qualifiers, but each time they looked kinda shit. Made Iceland look great, for instance. Just feel like they’ll be one of the sides that’ll really fail to impress this time. Just a feeling, so could be horribly wrong. Actually also expecting nigeria to not be horrible this time
