Guest Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 "Meanwhile, any player or substitute who gestures with his hands for a ‘VAR review’ will be shown a yellow card." Probably one for the football pet hates, but I hate it when people moan about people trying to get an opponent booked or now the above. If that person's clearly cheating then fair enough, but 7 out of 10 times I'd say the player who's protesting is normally spot on. A better way would be if a player is asking for a VAR review, it gets reviewed. If it's blatantly a wrong appeal, he gets a yellow or some.sort of suspension for being a tit and a cheat. If he's right then the ref has come to the correct decision. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Might as well start playing games behind closed doors when a home set of fans start chanting, "Off, off, off" or whinge at a corner or penalty appeal when it's never going in their favour. Goodison Park would be empty 9 games a season like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flip Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Group H looks tough to call. Poland, Senegal, Japan, Columbia. I can any of those teams qualifying. Don't actually see Japan having any chance there. It's all going to be close games, but think the other three are much stronger sides. Expect Colombia to win it, and then one of Senegal and Poland to qualify. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fedyan Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 German embassy have put one of those weird Berlin bear things, World Cup themed, in front of it. Also, a huge poster on how they cannae wait and all. Good thing it's not in the center, the freaking monstrosity I bet they fancy their chances, those Germans. A whole bunch of trolleys and buses around the city have been WC themed as well, and the subway cars will be decorated as well. Hopefully, no fancy cocaine addicts (affectionally referred to as modern artists) will be allowed anywhere near. Also, as I was jogging this past morning saw a big Costa Rica flag in my neighborhood. Those forrins, no shame at all Watching us play Austria now, with Mourinho in attendance. What a spectacle. Not. Also, staring to develop a real irrational hatred for Vardy and Hart. I can literally start a freaking farm, such is the amount of Panini stickers with those mugshots. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fedyan Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 I am sure a seasoned traveler had this sorted, but just in case - don't forget about the time difference if your arrangements include arriving/departing from city city on matchday. For convenience, there is a general Moscow time standard as a reference here, so Samara is -1 hour, Kaliningrad is +1 hour and Ekaterinburg is +2 hours. All the other cities are within the above-mentioned timezone. I once almost missed the train back home from a weekend on juice in Samara because I forgot about this, so just make sure you have this addressed in your arrangements. The wait is unbearable.

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 The official tv opening. Majestic. This one is just ok, not as catchy as Brazil's. The South Africa one will stay with me forever. The football in that World Cup was relatively poor, but I'll always remember sitting in my Auntie's house in Lagos every evening and hearing that song while I was cursing Yakubu and laughing at the crying Ghanians. Great memories. Russia will be the first World Cup I attend in person, and I am unreasonably excited, despite the mental cost of everything. I just hope the Super Eagles do not ruin my trip. They have a very decent chance of a good run, imo. Group D is tough, but I like the team that Rohr has put together, it will be a hard fought thing for all four teams, I don't believe Argentina will get out of it unblemished, either. Of the other African sides, my heart holds optimism for Senegal and Egypt, primarily because of their groups. Morocco are better than Egypt and probably equal to Senegal, imo, but they will need to steal at least a draw against one of the Iberians. They were the second best side to Naija in the qualifiers and did not concede a goal, so it is definitely possible. There is no hope for Tunisia, they are poor. Egypt England are fortunate because 2 of the 3 worst sides are in their group, imo (the other being Panama). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Might be one for the unpopular opinions thread, but I really don't see the appeal of that Nigeria top All the other ones that give a nod to nostalgia are very nice, I like them.

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Did Brian Idowu make the team? We are still carrying 25 players, so it is not final, but I would be stunned if he is not there. I think he will start at left back, tbh. It's the weakest outfield position, and he is better than Uwa and more experienced than Ola Aina. Might be one for the unpopular opinions thread, but I really don't see the appeal of that Nigeria top All the other ones that give a nod to nostalgia are very nice, I like them. Just not the one everyone is going crazy about! I wish more people shared this opinion, so it was actually possible to purchase one somewhere online. I want one two for myself and my wife, but thing is seemingly sold out worldwide. I think I will settle for one of the Lagos sold/China made versions that have flooded Naija already.
