no I definitely didn't make that up but I did instantly love the insult and the idea it was actually said. Repeated it constantly.

Can the mods pls change the forum header?

El Greasico starting to kick off a bit.

Jesus, imagine Bruno, Pepe and Ronaldo tears today.

OOOOOF

still throwing players under the bus

Our routine 3-0 win tomorrow is going to look really boring now.

Reminiscent of Argentina's goal against England in 98.

OMGGGG

This ref's a right little traffic warden.

Please turn into a game where the discipline of both sides turns to shit. Been too nice, this World Cup.

Don't have much sympathy for Tite but his and Luis Enrique's departures illustrate the razor thin margins in international tournament football. Clearly Spain and Brazil drawing against Morocco and Croatia respectively wasn't good enough for those nations but either could have won their shootout and gone on to win the whole thing, particularly Brazil. It's brutal and I think you'd lower the stakes in these knockout games immeasurably if the World Cup was switched to every 2 years.

Croatia love draws so much they decided to have two draws in one game.

Cr0atia / Drawatia on course for their 4th draw out of 5 in the tournament, 3 of them goalless

2nd half started a lot more open. Promising.

Will your lads have a dance after their consolation goal, @Flip?

Croatia 1-3 Brazil (double) Netherlands 0-1 Argentina Morocco 1 -2 Portugal England 1-1 France

Wtf, I thought I was taking the piss when I said the form we were in we will win the World Cup.

I'm not sure how keen we'll be on players who have seriously raised their profile at the World Cup. Since there seems to be a big focus on value, and World Cup performances seem to inflate prices beyond what players are worth.

Ronaldo is still contributing in terms of numbers but to the detriment of the team he is in. He would weaken any top side in the world the way he plays now. The intensity of the modern game allows no passengers.

The answer is that Keys worships money. Trumps anything else.

I used to, I work for Sky now. I did like working at ITV and some of their shows are alright, but definitely prefer BBC football coverage. Commentators in particular.
