World Cup Discussion Thread - Day 14 (27 June)

[Marty]

Serbs badly winded by 2-0. Don't look like they have much left in the tank.

 

[Chris Flynn]

True!

Was gonna say Germ.... nope

Ha ha, under those circumstances id be happy if i had the best striker in the world in my team

 

[spurs mental]

Did Neymar actually point to himself to tell them he took the corner they scored from? Prick

 

[Chris Flynn]

Mitrovic is a decent striker. Surprised he hasn't done better in England.

EDIT: Yes, apart from some misses. But over a season he should be able to put at least 10 away.

Need to stay on the pitch for 20 games for that as an average striker man

Did he?! What a cock.

Can't watch this Brazil side with Neymar anymore.

He’s really aggravating me in this tournament. I never had any ill-feeling towards him beforehand but he’s sooooo selfish. Everything is about him and what he can do, regardless of whether it benefits the team (it doesn’t).

 

[Gbspurs]

A few teams will exploit england at the back. Too many gaps. Belgium will be an interesting game to see where we are vs stronger sides.

But I agree for the most part. Nothing to really fear.

Tbf we only let in 1 goal against Italy, Netherlands, Brazil and Germany this season. Dier will add some steel to tougher games.

Pretty much. He is a poor man's Ronaldo.

Would.love to see someone like Dele nutmeg Neymar. And say "megs" as he did it. Then take a still of Neymars face. Priceless.

True. It's just our weakest section in my opinion. Although there's room for a creative mid. But I'm really like this England team. Should do well.

 

[spurs mental]

Jesus. Just watching Neymar when Brazil don't have the ball. Hiding away on the other side of the pitch, strolling around. Glorified goal hanger

 

[ItsBoris]

From an England view, im not really afraid of anyone at this world cup so far

I wouldn't want to play Colombia or Brazil, which most likely means finishing 2nd to Belgium in the group. I don't understand not thinking about who the opponents are if you're trying to win the thing. I agree that Spain would be tough but England might be able to win by sitting deep and playing on the counter.

 

[Anurag Jo]

So has every country scored this World Cup?

Megs? When did the youths stop saying 'nuts' when they nutmegged someone?

Yep. Costa Rica was the last one.

 

[hughy]

Before the competition I wanted anyone but Germany to win the World Cup. Now I want anyone but Brazil to win it. I detest Neymar more than I ever could Ronaldo. At least Ronaldo has the numbers to back up the hype. I don't think I could stand witnessing the Neymar show should Brazil win the WC.

 

[spurs mental]

Yes keeper!!!

 

[Riandor]

The way the Germans were knocked out was thoroughly satisfying. I can't have been the only one expecting them to scramble a last minute winner despite their lack of ideas and intensity. For them to get absolutely shafted at the end was incredibly satisfying.

Looked like England 2016... same result.

 

[VegasII]

I really can't stand this current Brazilian side - bunch of fannies.

Lol

 

[Pellshek]

Depressing game. So much talent on show, but Serbia's natural negativity does for them every time, and Brazil's histrionics and diving are just painful to watch. Don't have a moment of time for either of these sides.
