      If I was worth as much as him, had as many people idolising me as much as he does, I have zero doubt that I would still be the same down to earth guy that I am now ...

      1-0 to Portugal final, could have been 1-5 to Morocco if they had a decent striker, so many chances.

              For a game that finished 1-0, with the only goal being scored in the 4th minute, and by Ronaldo of all people, i thought Portugal v Morocco was great fun. Tactical nouse was out the window, whoever had the ball would tear forward, then turn it over, only for the other team to tear forward. Reckless challenges were the norm, and the ref played it straight as fuck, waving play on all day. I still don't know how Morocco didn't score given the way the game was played in the last half hour.

              It also contained the early front runner for "dive of the tournament"

                The Russian arm of the fast-food chain Burger King has apologised after offering women a reward of 3m roubles (ÂŁ36,000; $47,000) and free Whopper burgers for life if they got pregnant with a World Cup player's baby.
                
                "Women who manage to get the best football genes will promote the Russian team's success for generations to come," the advert said.

                  No surprise it was Pepe. He was only warming up with his reaction to Costa outmuscling him in the Spain game.

                    I'm fascinated by the battle for the Golden Bastard. Early front runners are Pepe, Ramos, Suarez and Diego Costa given their histories but please nominate any others who make a strong case.

                      Don't forget a couple of English players who have form in the box - Alli and Young.

                        If it was my thing, yeah ... although I guess I'd just walk as a I walk, and not give a monkeys nuts about what other people thought about it.

                          Rough start for the Aussies with Eriksen putting the Danes ahead early. BBC comm's have already basically started tlking about this being game over ... and it's only 25 mins in.

                          EXACTLY the sort of situation where Aussie thrive!

                            Danes 7th min goal sends them into big-boy-fuck-around-on-halfway mode, drives me nuts, soccer needs a bball over and back rule. Or once goalie releases ball his team has 5 seconds to get the fucker over halfway line. Otherwise free kick. Or electric shock. Or paintball gun 10 second free-for-all c/o 4th official

                            Straya good value. Bit unco with the whole ball control thing at times though

                            what are criteria. Belgiums Fellaini seems to have a lot of bastard in him.

                            Neymar/Ronaldo seem more of a Golden piston wristed gibbon ilk than technically a bastard.

                            Sergio Ramos is Lord of the Bastards. But you'd still want him on your team

                                Just popped in to mention this I heard on the Peru Vs France commentary.

                                "17% of the goals so far at the world cup have come in the last 15 minutes. So a lot of late scoring."

                                That's right, slightly less than 1/6th of the goals have come in the last 1/6th of the match. That's a lot of late scoring.

                                      Modric with 35 yarder goal of tourney contender. First goal top shit too

                                      Arg were all kinds of shit. Constantly getting their half-drunk passes intercepted in attacking third. Think Messi's gonna run in to space? Think again. If the ball's not delivered on a gilded chariot of feathers right to his heavenly feet you can go and get fucked. NO player at the WC runs less when not in possession. Even 5 GOALIES run more
                                      LEAST average km run a match:

                                      Lionel Messi, Argentina 1.42

                                      Arg with about 3 shots on target and Aguero on the bench. Oh yeah, their coach Angry Anderson of Rose Tattoo has a plan

                                      Is this fair dinkum?? That truly is incredible. I never knew he was so lazy

                                        I did say Croatia was good! 🙂

                                        Caballero should stick to being a penalty stopper. That first goal was a shocker.

                                        If Iceland deal to Nigeria then Argentina needs help to advance and their GD is -3.

                                          @rocky-rockbottom said in 2018 Football World Cup:

                                          I would guess Messi's horrific body language scared his Argie teammates almost more than the Croatian players did. Walking about with shoulders almost comically slumped. Standing stock still. He just did not want to fuckign know. Will hiff petrol on the bonfiring GOAT narrative though.
                                          "Messi's spent his entire career getting the princeling armchair ride at club level Barcelona against a revolving cardboard cutout gallery of shit defenders from some fuckhead Spanish fishing town."
                                          "At least Portugal's plasticene Jesus marionette slogs his guts out for his national team."

                                          Was going to ask if Messi ever achieved anything at International level?
                                          Don’t ever recall him setting a WC on fire.
                                          Like you said, you can Ronaldo shit about how he prances about and can’t walk past any reflection of himself without stopping to look, but least he gives it his all for Portugal
