FIFA World Cup thread. 12:02 - Nov 15 with 146783 views | Snipper | I’m trying to get excited about this World Cup, but to no avail :-((. I’ve just watched Sky Sports World Cup preview with Gary Neville, Jamie Redknapp, Jamie Carragher & Karen Carney. Utterly depressing viewing. Same old, same old. Picking players for the starting XI not playing for their clubs, or totally off form. I’m hoping this thread can get the juices flowing. Do any of you think England have a chance? |  | | |  |
FIFA World Cup thread. on 16:59 - Dec 3 with 2360 views | Northernr | I can't get over the US defending for that third goal. Have you ever seen a left back stand there for that length of time without ever once having a look over his shoulder to see what's going on behind? I mean, a grown man called Antonee who's going around insisting everybody call him "Jedi" is to be put straight in the sea immediately anyway but he's so fast and talented and beautiful and successful and rich and plays the fcking piano and does card tricks and models underwear that I thought I should probably give him a reprieve until that moment. Nah, into the sea with you. Clint Hill is out there now in a pub on the Wirral shouting at the TV 20 minutes later is my bet. |  | |  |

Denzil had his hand up so long they had to treat him for cramp of the elbow |  | |  |

The way the centre-back just looked at him, motionless save the exasperated raised arms. I mean, how do you reason with that? What do you say to that? |  |

I assumed he had been watching Assou-Ekoto playing for Queens Park Rangers & thought that he would try to outdo him! How long into Fulham's next game before Ream gives him the ultimate sucicide ball? |  | |  |

I’m pleased to say that I’ve seen him play live 4 times for Barcelona,and he is without doubt the best player I’ve ever seen.And he continues to perform at the highest level. What a player. |  | |  |
FIFA World Cup thread. on 21:13 - Dec 3 with 2102 views | traininvain | Messi’s rolling back the years at this World Cup. Seems to be getting better every game. I was surprised to hear that Messi’s goal tonight was his first in the knockout rounds of a World Cup and Ronaldo hasn’t scored before in the knockouts. |  | |  |

Could be the final. England have the better team on paper but Argentina have Messi and anything’s possible with him on the pitch. Every Argentina game sounds like it’s being played in Buenos Aires. Loudest fans at the tournament. |  | |  |

Sorry Brian, but I think he’s a bit better than you, too. I’m sure you pay more tax though. |  | |  |

Ten pints of ESB with chasers, and I'd be Messy for a couple of days. |  |

The words "Laid back character" and "Seny Dieng" certainly go together... |  |

See I told everybody both Seny and Chair are having a great time away in the sun while we struggle with Beale using and frustrating us all . If Senegal had Mane and that suspended player (sorry name escapes me ) they would put it up to England but I see the a 0-2 loss and Seny heading back to us Monday |  | |  |
FIFA World Cup thread. on 15:03 - Dec 4 with 1733 views | TGRRRSSS | Idrissa Gueyea? Anyway France v Poland has started, had some great games in the group but overall the last 16 has had a bit of a lack of danger feel (England aside) and there isnt otherwise a game where a biggie biggie is going toe to toe. QF's will be a different story though. Massive I guess Germany and Belgium went in group - 2nd time in a row for Germany? |  | |  |
FIFA World Cup thread. on 16:56 - Dec 4 with 1649 views | GloryHunter | I hope Sinclair Armstrong is watching Mbappe. Sinclair has the speed and the physique, he just needs to add the tricks and the goals. |  | |  |
FIFA World Cup thread. on 16:58 - Dec 4 with 1640 views | hubble | Another absurd VAR decision that slightly mars a superb performance from France. Mbappe, wow, what a player. IF England get past Seny's Senegal, I revise my earlier opinion: this is going to be a hell of a tough ask for England the way France are playing. Still, should be a great game. But let's see what happens tonight first. |  |

Mbapee is obviously brilliant but haven't been thaty impressed with the rest of the French team although they do have some big players missing. When you have someone as good as him though they are going to be very hard to beat |  | |  |
