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 |  |

Video Assisted Russians!
If the Mitrovic penalty wasn't a penalty then nothing surprises me. | | | |

Ref stands 2 yards from the goalkeeper and sees him save it 4 foot off his line before ball is kicked. Bent as hell | |

to be fair, hate is all I've got for football but the Ruskie bastards invaded half of the motherland (Ukraine) so I've got to hate them. | |

Good riddance to Spain, I thought goofball was killing British football in the 80s but Spain have showed me there's something even more boring.
Goofball FFS. "Hoofball" obvs (and thanks to everyone who was going to take the p*ss but restrained themselves.)
Quite like the sound of goofball actually. [Post edited 1 Jul 2018 21:10]

There is just the little matter of the best team in the tournament in our way though!
Croatia have looked very good. Hopefully they will now get over confident! | | | |

Cesc Fabregas
"I am speechless because I expected a different game today. I think Spain is a much better side than Russia. Russia had a plan which was to go to penalties and pray, and it paid off for them. Andres Iniesta doesn't deserve to go out like this, in what could be his last game for Spain." |  |

Exactly. Why is Modric playing sweeper? | |

Can any referee types tell me how that Denmark player stayed on the pitch?
I thought denying a goal scoring opportunity was a straight red? |  | | |

Yet another penalty save where the goalie is nearer the 6 yard line than the goal line. Bad penalty I know but both Russian saves were the same. Why stand 3 yards away watching the goalie then let it go. Pointless. | |

Another good and an exciting penalty shoot out. I liked Denmark because they didn’t dive or surround the ref whinging. | |

Not if they make a meaningful attempt to play the ball. Been the case for the last couple of seasons.

I did my best for Croatia to go out.
Definitely my fault for their lack of performance! | | | |
