OT - World Cup 2018 Thread

I'm pretty sure self-hating German is the only way one can safely go. The other option... well, the less said the better

Oy, all parts of Germans hate themselves: Bier, Hermann Hesse, Frankfurters, Franz Kafka, Heinrich Heine (such an ass), Hamburgers, Nietzsche, Immanuel Kant (couldn't), Karl Marx (he tried to look like Santa Claus so he could spread presents to all children - evenly), Sausage (the wurst), Sauerkraut/Sauerbraten (even the tasty food is made sour), the accordion, the Schuhplattler (see below)...

So the guy was trolling for clicks. I wasn't sure.

Yes. Absolutely. In a world in which the top teams (particularly club sides that play together week in week out) are incredibly adept at closing down and defending, he's still the biggest difference-maker with the ball at his feet that there is. Just look at how scared defences are when he dribbles it at them.

yeah...this thread has been getting pretty "messy" since Fnord admitted he's half weinerschitzelbrau...

The other half is "Curmudgeon".

Vamos colombia! Would like to see them advance.

 

[PatriotsNumero1Fan]

Colombia wins the group. Will face the runner up from the England vs Belgium game.

Im pissed that Japan advanced and not Senegal. Very cowardly of them to keep passing between defenders, holding on that yellow card tie-braker

And Senegal was a much more fun and better team overall, too

Yes I saw that. I was hoping that Poland scored another goal on them. Pathetic by Japan.

Ridiculous. Japan beat Senegal fair and square. When is being intelligent cowardly? Japan is a far more disciplined team than Senegal and that is why they move on.

Mane was slipping the whole first half today against a tenacious Columbian defense, he came out out with the same boots and still couldn't keep his feet.

Clear as day that England didn’t play to win against Belgium. Had a clear goal and the guy miraculously misses. Hope colombia beats them.

Wow. This world cup is the worst one in a while. Its basically just another Euro Cup. Monday is literally the only game worth watching as an American viewer. FIFA actually found a new way to be corrupt even after getting caught being corrupt not long ago. Welp, I'll support Mexico but FIFA clearly wants a European champion. Once Mexico is eliminated by FIFA, there will be no reason to watch. What s***. Lol

NFL season isn't far away at least!

As a neutral Icy, what makes you think Portugal winning it?

They play well together and Ronaldo is on a mission.
They have traditionally always been one super star short but this year that super star is simply cohesion.

I hope you right. If my team brazil doesn’t win i hope Portugal wins. Uruguay won’t be easy. They need someone to step up besides Ronaldo.

Well you have all the young Neymar clones in the USA rooting with you ... they love him.

I am half Brazilian. Still painful seeing the way things ended in 2014. I like Neymar but i don’t like his shenanigans.

I love watching him play.

Been busy the last few days. What a game this is though at the minute. Kylian M'Bappe has just put France back in front at 3-2 after Argentina had fought back to lead from a goal down.

 

[Observer]

That was the best game of this World Cup so far. Mbappe is a beast, France might just win the whole thing. Argentina were just too slow, apart from Di Maria nobody really shined.
