Astroblack Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Really liked 2014. England aside, there was some great football on display. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullie Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 '14 was absolutely fucking brilliant man ye mad cunt. The groups were great in 2014 but the knockouts, other than 7-1, were dull as fuck. This has been the best World Cup in my lifetime, no question. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The groups played a huge part though, certainly better than '10, and '02 overall at the very least. Agree that this has been the best I've seen. I've absolutely loved it.

Wullie Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Bump for this slightly premature review of the tournament as I thought it was funny even at the time. i think it's been an average WC at absolute best with a few games that have elevated it in people's minds to being better than it is por-esp ger-mex peru games have been enjoyable and a few others dotted about arg - cro good for the croatian performance and unbelievable shitness of the argies there's been as much dross as there has quality basically Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 How would people feel about fucking off the Euros and the other shite and having bi-annual World Cups? I'm gutted that I have to wait 4 fucking years before the next one Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It of course went on to continue being a sensationally entertaining tournament. I've absolutely loved it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bizza Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Gutted it's all over, been a fantastic tournament. I've seen every tournament since USA '94 as this has easily been one of the best. Even England managed to put together a decent run for once. Seeing us finally win a World Cup penalty shootout was probably the moment of the tournament for me then following that up by breezing past Sweden to finally win a quarter final again after failing at that stage so often. Just been unreal. Feel utterly lost now, no idea what to do with myself Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullie Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 I'll enjoy it when it comes round of course but a return to the financial dick-waving competition that is club football currently fills me with dread compared to the pure football of the World Cup.

Flip Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 This one was by far the one I enjoyed the least in terms of quality since 1998 Just look at the teams in the final. Two decent sides, but nothing to write home about. Think Germany in 14, Spain in 10, Italy 06, Brazil 02, France 98 would all have beaten both these sides comfortably. Although was fun if you like underdogs going far, or if you are English/Belgian/Croatian/French. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullie Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Are we ruling out Griezmann or Mbappe getting a hat trick tomorrow then ? Unlikely, sure, but not impossible. Granted, Kane would still share the award. No he wouldn’t If there is more than one player with the same number of goals, since 1994 the tie-breaker goes to the player without a penalty goal, if none has a penalty then the tie breaker goes to the person with more Assists - with the FIFA Technical Study Group deciding whether an assist is to be counted as such.[9][10] If there is still more than one player, the tie-breaker since 2006 goes to the player who has played the least amount of time.[11] Turns out this is wrong incidentally, otherwise that twat Cheryshev would have wormed his way into third place and made my sweep a hassle. Goes straight to assists followed by minutes per goal, penalties make no difference. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
