How many have there been like? I noticed it happened twice in one match but that was it.

Wew. I didn't know that. I'm just pleased we don't have to put up with anything like the Jabulani.

Best player of the tournament so far? Best team so far? Best goal? Best game? Worst player? Worst team?

 

Will have to have a think and go over the highlights, but best team in terms of footy has been Mexico and best goal Messi last night. Not a worldy, but my kind of goal. Looked simple, but very few would have been able to control the ball and touch it away in one fell swoop to get a strike away like that which guaranteed a goal IMO. The run and balance was perfect too, just a lovely goal.

 

Worst team based on what I watched was Panama, England didn’t even play that well and didn’t get out if first gear but hammered them.

Best player so far is probably Modric.

 

I’d probably agree, he’s been majestic without being flashy or show boaty, but then that has never been his game. Take note Neymar. You could argue Croatia have been the best team, certainly very consistent.

 

France have disappointed me the most, Pardew-esque football and flat as fuck.

 

Germany get the lols :lol:

France are fucking shite and I hope Messi bins them out.

 

Same here, would love to see Pogba crying :D

Croatia have went about things quietly and confidently, good in all areas of the pitch it seems. England look the most threatening from set pieces and are quite exciting going forward along with Belgium, two teams who can cause any defence problems in different ways.

It's weird but I think the thing I enjoy the most about the group stages is how quickly things seem to change.

 

Portugal looked comfortable after the first two games and there were inches away from being eliminated one game later, Mexico same story and for a lot of today they were one German goal from going out.

 

There's probably many other examples but it's all added to the drama and tension of the tournament.

Honestly, I can't believe I'm saying this, but I think Lingard's been the best player so far.

Player - Trippier

Team - Croatia

Goal - Nacho

Game - Spain Portugal

Worst player - Mascherano

Worst Team - Panama

 

Trippier for Modric and that’s about fair. Could have a few for worst player.

So now we are getting well into the World Cup what are your pet hates either for this tournament or World Cups generally.

 

For me (and we’ll see it tonight I’m sure) ITVs refusal to accept the historic ‘think it’s all over’ commentary of 66 as the legend everyone remembers and instead playing the much less memorable ‘and he has’ version.

 

Also Clive Tydesley making commentary on Saudi Arabia vs Egypt all about Cristiano Ronaldo and Man Utd.
