Not worthy of a thread - 2018 FIFA World Cup edition


Recommended Posts

'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.

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.

Bump for this slightly premature review of the tournament as I thought it was funny even at the time. :lol:

 

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

Tbf to Mojo, I remember that comment and it was at a time in the group stages where we had 2/3 days where the quality and drama in matches dropped off significantly after a flying start. It of course went on to continue being a sensationally entertaining tournament. I've absolutely loved it.

How would people feel about fucking off the Euros and the other shite and having bi-annual World Cups?

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 :(

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.

10's by far the worst like, not even close.

 

[emoji38] Disagree.

Surprised that you feel that way considering Belgium didn't qualify.

This one was by far the one I enjoyed the least in terms of quality since 1998 :lol: 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.

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.
