Round of 16 discussion

[nöyd]

After Argentina jag their second goal I get up to get a drink and a feed, and by the time I come back they're down 3-2, i'm like WTF just happened.

Hopefully Uruguay or Portugal wipe France like a dirty arse in the quarters.

This stoppage for the biter is everything hat is wrong with football.

They have VAR now. Time to introduce a yellow for embellishment

Good to see the real France finally show up. They look like genuine contenders now. Mbappe is nailed on for world player of the year in the next few years. He shows glimpses of the Brazilian Ronaldo though he still has a long way to go.

Argies are not a team, just a group of individuals thrown out on the field and hope for the best. One great player and that’s it. Feel for Messi...he’s got no chance with that set up. Had he chosen Spain to play for when he was a teenager he’d have at least one World Cup medal in his pocket.

Portugal aren’t a good side either. Only so far Ronaldo can carry them on his back. Uruguay are a tough team to play against so the result wasn’t a surprise. Expect France to have far too much for them in the quarters though.

Pogba with some incredible through balls to Mbappe, too much speed for Argentina and there wasn't much they could do. Mascherano and Otamendi played well, but unlucky for them.

Great to see Messi and Ronaldo out, now we don't have to hear about them endlessly.

I only watched the first half of the France game but they looked very dangerous, although they did concede theee against a pretty poor Argentina.

Both Messi and Ronaldo are out in the 16, more great names never to win the World Cup.

For those who want to follow. Just a screen grab from foxsports.

People were talking Ronaldo up but who else in that squad was going to take them on a deep run?

 

[t-ba]

Pique lol. The dance move shrugs to protest the tard penalty he gave were a particularly nice touch.

This Russian team has a better tackling technique than Bryce Cartwright.

No one looking likely so far. Uruguay looks the best. They murdered Ronaldo out there.

A decent defence will eat the Froggies alive. Cracking match to watch. Messi's body language was shocking all match imo. A man defeated from the starting whistle. Does he have another World Cup in him?

 

[t-ba]

Bring Dzagoev on. That stud has never failed me in Football Manager.

 

[Last Week]

Russia doing their best to give the game to Spain.

 

[Danish]

no ref would dare award a penalty against Russia now, and don’t the players know it?

Every set piece for Spain in extra time has been an absolute shit fight

 

[t-ba]

David De Gea honestly looks like he should be on Khao San road.

Edit - the twatpacker did get a hand to that.

 

[t-ba]

Akinfeev you sexy beast!

 

[Last Week]

Wow. That side of the draw is so wide open.

England could deadset make the final.

 

[Danish]

Unbelievable.

The pressure on the Russian player should in that shoot out would have been immense.

 

[t-ba]

Well this match is already better than the last one.

 

[Smack]

Incredible win for Russia, f**k Spain

 

[Haffa]

Spursy peno from Eriksen

 

[Twizzle]

Russia won with 21% possession
