I’ve been pretty non plussed about the Copa Mundial this year which is unusual as I’ve always loved it. Perhaps FIFA have contributed to my overall “fcuk it” view to the modern game, I’ve never felt so remote from a tournament Inger-Lund have been in.
Part of me hopes it lives up to the scam it is with Russia being awarded 317 penalties in the group stages, empty stadiums with Escape To Victory dubbed crowd cheering noises all capped off with a plucky squad of kids winning it so rhino nose becomes Sir Gareth
Current questions for those buzzing about it or who simply know:-
1. Any good Apps for iPhone anyone come across? (Preferably free)
2. Can anyone recommend a Fantasy Competition for the tournament? I’ve been asked to run one at work; think the Sun used to do a simple one; no idea if they are as I haven’t bought a newspaper this decade.
3. Any players people recommend sticking in above / hidden jems????
4. What fixtures do we think are ones to make an effort to watch out of the current group stages? May have to organise work schedule and ensure a regular spot in The Leicester Arms on Warwick Street for any midweek afternoon games
5. What nation picks up the Jules Rimet this year for you? I’m thinking probably Germany but the last time they tried to conquer all the Russia issue didn’t work out well for them |  |

Surely Sweden need to bring on fresh legs. No breaking threat at all now. |  |

Exactly. The Swedish defending in the last 20 minutes reminded me of the way we defend away from home; standing off and giving loads of space, allowing crosses in with no pressure on the ball etc. With the inevitable result, as you say a ludicrous challenge to give away that free kick when they had the draw in the bag. |  | | |

1 minute before that they were up the other end and could have just stood on the ball. A host of moronic decisions by Sweden and Germany in the end deserved it. | |

Again, what we do away from home, cannot hold onto the ball to get a result. | | | |

Totally agree. Deserved to lose for being thick tw@ts.
Thick as sh#t both ends of the pitch. Brain dead. Especially the geezer with the worst beard in history. Did it twice in two minutes! |  |

Gutted!
Why did that cock have that pathetic shot?!?? Straight not Neurs arms and one last attack.
Yet another game to get into though
What’s that? 30 games and not one 0-0 yet? Fantastic | |

Not watched 15 mins total of the competition and now I've just heard that Germany beat Swindon I've totally lost interest. |  |

No, Germany didn’t deserve it. They should have been 2-0 down with 10 men. But yes, Sweden made a right hash of it in the last 20 minutes. Hey ho. |  |

That Germany free kick had shades of Seaman getting lobbed, just a total inevitability about it. Absolutely gutted.
Another cracking game though. [Post edited 24 Jun 2018 3:35]

GROUP C
If France beat the Danes 2-1 and Oz beats Peru 1-0(dodgy VAR Pen) both teams would have the same points and same goal difference plus they drew 1-1 together.
Who goes through? |  |

The Guardian podcast has just been talking about a set of final group game results that leads to Germany failing to go through because of their red card -- at some point it goes on disciplinary record. | | | |

Senegal look about two stone a man heavier than Japan.
Where did the keeper think that punch was going? Rubbish! [Post edited 24 Jun 2018 16:14]

Goes on "fair play" - ie number of cards. | | | |

Presuming Poland are goners, who would we prefer from group H?
Colombia, Senegal, or Japan? |  | | |

They really know how to do national anthems in South America. All complete and utter pompous nonsense and all the better for it! |  |

Would fancy us against all of them but would prefer to play Japan
I think Colombia and to a lesser extent Senegal could show up our defensive frailties | | | |

I see no reason why England can’t win the World Cup. Most open tournament I can remember with 6 or 7 teams with a shot. Would be good for Football if England won after all, you did event the game.ðŸ˜Žâš½ï¸ |  |

By choice, certainly not Colombia!
Poland were awful, but some of the movement & passing from Colombia was superb.
I expect the game on Thursday night to be played in a manner to avoid them! | | | |
