Not worthy of a thread - 2018 FIFA World Cup edition


Recommended Posts

I’m referring to my feelings.

 

[emoji38] Who you supporting?

 

[emoji38] any of the plucky upstarts

Me too.

 

Germany.

 

I always used to have an extensive list of likes and dislikes - "wank, wank, wank, good guy, wank, good guy" etc. Soft spot for the Soviet Bloc for some reason, always liked Mexico. Right, gonna give it a go and rank in order in a gratuitously unsystematic manner, find out where my head is at now I'm way to old to care:

 

1. England, 2. Australia, 3. Iceland, 4. Korea (because Son, Oldtype, SE Asia), 5. Japan, 6. Denmark (because Eriksen), 7. Panama (underdogs), 8. Costa Rica, 9. Croatia (because Modric), 10. Mexico (because chance of great party in local restaurant). 11. Egypt, 12. Morocco, 13. Tunisia (quite like North African teams), 14. Iran, 15. Belgium (because Spurs players), 16. Poland, 17. Peru (down because they knocked out New Zealand in cuntish fashion), 18. Colombia (because least unlikeable of S America), 19. Germany (because 7-1, despite Germany), 20. Senegal, 21. Serbia, 22. Switzerland 23. Nigeria, 24. Sweden, 25. Russia (because hosts, despite best national anthem), 26. Uruguay (lower because Suarez), 27. France, 28. Spain, 29. Argentina, 30. Brazil, 31. Saudi Arabia (because politics), 32. Portugal.

Basically, Mike meant he's supporting Liverpool.

The list is flexible if compelling arguments can be made.

Messi

 

I remain ambivalent. There's a lot of Argentina baggage to counteract, and I quite like the narrative of the best player of all time failing to win the World Cup, for some reason. Also, I have never quite been able to get past the growth hormone thing. There is Lamela though. Let's bump them to 26, above Uruguay. I think I would still prefer Russia to beat Argentina.

Not related to the Messi thing but it would be a ridiculously boring tournament if you had your way [emoji38] Most of the teams in your top 10 are teams who are going to sit behind the ball for 90 minutes and add nothing to the tournament

I'm backing Iceland, Peru and Tunisia. Wouldn't mind Sweden doing alright either. Denmark needs to burn, though.

 

Denmark, Argentina, Brazil, England, France, Germany, Spain, Uruguay, Belgium, Russia and Columbia can all go fuck themselves.

The girls are compelling. Also, I accept Kaiz's well-formed arguments on Peru and Tunisia, although not Denmark, because as I stated before, Eriksen.

I'm doing a Flip on it and just supporting the team of my favourite player. Vamos, vamos Argentina

 

Wait what? How is that doing a Flip? Or are you referring to club football?

 

Extremely happy.

 

Brazil v Costa Rica

Germany v Mexico

Messi v Nigeria

Cristiano v Morocco

 

The tickets I got. The last two games suck, but the fact I'll get to watch those two in probably their last WC is a dream.

 

Class that. You reckon young Malcom has any chance of getting in your squad? Seems to be on fire and scored an outrageous goal tonight.

 

I think it'll be difficult. But who knows, depends on if he keep doing well until the selection.

That’s not a bad draw for England. I see the media are already proclaiming it an easy group mind, typical of them.

Aye, like you with Neymar.  Wasn't meant as an insult

Cheers. Although weirdly that doesn’t include England players.
