World Cup Discussion Thread - Day 23 (6 July)

[Mr.D]

Loved that side. Sadly they had the lumbering Serginho up front.

The whole footballing world had collectively emptied their sacks over Brazil for so many years that teams just stood back and played chase. Until Rossi fucked them and we got to witmess one of the iconic goal celebrations in the final.

I don't care that it's Belgium in this round or that it might have been Mexico in the last round or could have been France in the next round - I'm just glad that that shithouse wankstain Neymar is going home.

I could watch him cry his eyes out from now until the beginning of the season without getting bored. I cannot express how much I despise the cheating shit and if Brazil had won the tournament with him in the team I think I would have been physically sick.

I'd never wish physical harm on anyone but, my God, that twat pushed me close! Good riddance to scummy rubbish.

without Ronaldo or Messi, Neymar had the chance to take centre stage and instead he'll be known for falling over and rolling around.

Anyway, Euro 18 is way better than Euro 16.

Well chuffed for our Belgium players and for Roberto Martinez.

I've seen a lot of chatter that says that the ball was out of play, so it shouldn't have been a penalty to Brazil for the Kompany foul on Jesus. This is my understanding as well.

But I can't actually find a source that says this is definitively the case. Does anyone know where in the law, or have a source, that says that the ball has to be in play for a penalty to be awarded?

Lukaku played an awesome game no question

Really? I though it showed 2 things about him, 1 he is a great hold up striker and 2 he has very little technical ability.

And he ran out of gas around 70 mins.

On the other hand I think KDB is the best player on the planet and by some distance.

Hi name isn't Jesus, its "Hey Zeus" !

I was thinking the same but i swear I've seen penalties given for that sort of challenge in the past.

Where's the match thread for today? Not awake yet @cwy21 ?

Great game, could have gone either way. Hazard, Lukaku and Fellani brilliant as they needed to be.
