Village Idiot

So Nigeria is still Nigeria. Likeable, spirited, and crap.

That's probably the worst Argentine defending since the Falklands War.

Pulis will probably sign the guy that just took that throw in for Iceland.

Best part of watching an Argentina game: Argentine twitter users going ballistic when they're shit.

Well, that was beautiful.

Yeah, awfully conservative from Deschamps.

Everyone around here thinks De Gea should have had the freekick. Dude barely moves and covers the goal terribly. I'm surprised it's somehow a minority opinion.

Tbf, not the first time I see a totally needless handball from Umtiti.

Wat

Good use of VAR here. It's winning me over.

France's midfield is pretty poor. Lots of athleticism but little creativity. Australia is playing them smartly on that regard and the guys upfront are just getting really shitty balls.

Fantastic game that was! Despite the so-so result there were lots of positives to take, particularly Costa finally looking dangerous for us. Pity that De Gea went all Karius on us. Nonetheless it was quite the spectacle, made wading through all the previous shit games worthy.

GTFI Trust Atlético to fix what Real Madrid fucks up.

He's just one of those people that luck always falls his way, how he's got two goals here is crazy. What are they saying on Spanish TV about how we are playing ? That we were playing really well after Costa's goal and deserved better.

FFS the Spanish taxman should have refused that plea deal and jailed Ronaldo instead.

Uruguay really poor in midfield. Missing those magnificent cunts Arévalo Ríos and Walter Gargano. But really, they seem to have no clue when building attacking moves.

Spanish press already coming up with a cringeworthy nickname for our team. Since "Hierro" is "Iron" in Spanish, this team is now "Los Hombres de Hierro" (The Iron Men). I hate our press.

Should I feel bad for reading Fedyan's messages in a thick movie Russian accent?

Already moved my desk and put it in front of my telly. Not moving from here until July 15th. GIMME FOOTBALL.

He's lived here since he was a bairn. His Spanish is flawless accent-wise.

Cherysev's quality, but he's never been able to make the most of his talent. He's had a pretty bad season. Seems truly fired up for this though (nee surprise).

Hardly a surprise, but Arabia are really shite.

Just moved my desk in front of my flat TV. Fucking love a World Cup in a proper timezone.

He's sold rights to the reveal to a Spanish telly, Lebron-style. What a tosser

Incidentally, I think Lopetegui's a poor choice for Real Madrid, which makes the whole fracas even weirder.
