Si Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 This World Cup has been weird, alot of the games haven't been great, but i've enjoyed every game. It's been class/annoying I've loved it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sima Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Desailly used to piss me off with his ‘My Ghana! My Ghana!’ schtick. Should have played for them if he loved them so much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flip Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 He’s always been a twat Going to be honest, in South America that's not a racist gesture. It's racist as fuck, but he most certainly hasn't done that as a racist gesture. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye it's bollocks like. I'm watching the WC on my TV which I don't have hooked up to an aerial. I can stream games on the BBC in HD via the built in Iplayer app but with games on ITV I'm having to resort to watching it through TVplayer on my Xbox One in absolute minging picture quality Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fedyan Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 I am in the midst of a really hectic day, so here is a brief-ish overview of what is ganning on. A 28 year old citizen of Kyrgyzstan managed to literally drive into a group of Mexico fans in the city center. Injured seven people, one lady is in a hospital, but fortunately did not suffer any life-threatening injuries. The moron then tried to flee the scene, and was very lucky not to end up dead because quite a few witnesses were ready to tear him apart. He is in custody, I haven't had the time to gather all the info yet, but a cynic in me says it was either a guy going postal from greed-infected lack of sleep and snapping at the traffic, or one of those scary one-man terror attacks. Yes, us and Piter are on that VIP list of major cities where the alternative-thinking scumbags always plot something horrific. And sometimes, they succeed. Those benches you might see in front of subway station entrances and pedestrian underground road crossings are not benches - these are concrete barriers put up by our glorious mayor after two attacks last year, when bus drivers (allegedly due to falling asleep, but I don't believe it personally) rammed into such locations, unfortunately causing victims. Will read into the incident and provide an update. Two young and really drunk Portuguese lads found an even drunker Spain fan who was sleeping on a bench in a park and urinated on his pants in the early morning hours, for whatever reason. Also, valiantly fleeing the scene despite calls to stop by several disgusted locals. The poor señor was then assisted to the hotel. A girl from China fell into that Latin heat and pashun thingy and ended up drinking with three proper macho lads from Argentina. What followed was some sort of an orgy in their hotel room. Recorded by one of the future pornstar boys. The girl politely asked for the fun video to be erased, prompting a negative response. And decided to call da polis. It's amazing stories like these that still keep me interested in major sporting events. Truly, remarkable cross-cultural bridges are being built. Fantastic. I saw a German dude wearing Stuttgarter Kickers shirt last night, accompanied by two ladies who both looked suspiciously like Melissa McCarthy. I wanted to take a picture with them, but they were speaking that forrin German language so loud, that I decided not to bother, because they were arguing or something. Saw a group of Japan fans dozing off after a pint or ten at my local, but they woke up when Croatia played Nigeria and clapped like crazy any time anyone did something good on the pitch in that adorable, but weird forrin Japanese way. Speaking of Croatia Nigeria - had two friends in attendance in Kaliningrad. Partied their metaphorical behinds by the looks of it, them Croats turned every beer joint in a profit making monster last night. Which is something in a city priding itself on beer production. And consumption. Unfortunately, not enough of Nigerian lads wearing those unbelievable hats. Damn, I am desperate to own one. My boys then proceeded to dive into the city's club scene for an hour or two. Woke up right before lunch and ran to the beach for a swim. Lucky so and so's. Peter Odemwinge is the only footballer (ex or current) who bothered to get a decent suit for his TV appearances. Thanks for that, was getting a bit ridiculous. Came across as a nice guy, not bland or boring Captain Obvious type. Was a bit of a bad-a$$ party animal back in the day and had plenty of haters in the media. A friend in St Petersburg spent the night drinking with Panama fans who were almost reduced to tears when telling about their team's qualification. One of them actually got a tattoo with the date of that fateful match, and October was inked in Russian. What a lad. Saw a bunch of Mexicans walking around my neighborhood. Which is kinda posh and much closer to the suburbs. Yes, wearing hats as well. And boy, do they love their beer. Insane amounts, like. One of them had IAMSINGLE in Russian on the back of his shirt. Another mate of mine was wearing a 2002 Brazil away shirt, yet ended up mobbed and forced to drink sensibly (he was walking around with his little son) with a group of Argentina fans. Have a train to catch in 5 hours time. Kazan, here I come. Flip and anyone else in need of advice/help in or around any of the host cities - feel free to PM me. I will be checking the forum on lunchtime everyday. Will try to be brief, diary type. Not daft or young enough to type from my phone, but will try to post some pics and videos. So far, the football itself is good imo. Minor idiocy (a common theme during any huge event) notwithstanding, people are absolutely enjoying it. It's like a New Years Day, but in the summer. With thousands of complete strangers hugging and singing daft songs and such. Luv it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ameritoon Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Only relevant to few here but Fox has somehow been worse than I thought they'd be at broadcasting this. Most commentators not even in the stadium, Cobi Jones calling games, no subtly at all, using foo fighters songs to transition, and no tactical analysis at all. They're not even trying most of the time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
