There is no God. None whatsoever. Damn. Denmark deserves to win this. Im sure we can all agree with that.

“God” only needed to do one thing in that match and that was to give Chris a miracle

Did the commentator say that Belgium were no 1 ranked in the world? Are they? I'd have thought France should have that spot. Surely.

You're far from the first to notice how great the FIFA rankings are.

Went to take a piss at 37 minutes. Come back in injury time. Thats gotta be a record long. At least I didnt miss a goal

Peter Walton now features in a major tournament.

Rubbish.

'What do you think Peter?'
'I agree with the Referee'
'Thanks Peter'

Russia are so bad. Most of their players look like they are in their 50s.

USA was once as high as 8. We wouldnt have been 28 in UEFA in the real world.

No God involved today, just science ?

I am getting-tearful-at-that-Halifax-advert levels of emotionally fragile right now.

Science, medical health & safety protocol & the players all won the day & saved a life.

145 million people and they're the best 11 footballers Russia can put out?

Russia are so bad. Most of their players look like they are in their 50s.

They also have the notorious dodgy keeper syndrome.

 

[fortworthspur]

probably not even going to bother with the second half, its not a contest so far

That second goal was pathetic keeping.

Sometimes I can't figure out how China and India are so bad. I realize football isn't the biggest sport there, but more then a half billion men and they can't be top 100 in the World?

We get the jehovas witnesses here all the time. So annoying!

What, under the eaves?

As pretty much no Indians play football and there is no setup there it's not surprising at all.

The talented sportsman in any country generally gravitate towards the popular sports that are easily accessible.

Going by your numbers logic they should also be good at American football, volleyball, bobsledding and every other sport.

Isn't football the second most popular sport in India?

At a previous company me (white British) and 4 Indian mates played in a 5 a side tournament and they were all useless. So based on that, the other 1.5 billion probably are too

yeah, there's a spray for that, too.
