[game thread] world cup 2018!

#801

Oki. Sorry

#802

These results are totally wiping me out.

Today's mission: figuring out a way to trick my friends into hanging out at places where I can catch some of the games.

#803

I always suggest cafes or bistros with big screens

#804

I'm going to miss the first game.

#805

I'm gonna try to suggest an outdoors beer garden and use the oldest trick in mankind's book to seal the deal - cheap beer.

Alternatively, find new friends. Are friends who don't watch football together even really called friends?

#807

You may have a point there.

#808

Lukaku's on fire.

#809

Spent the morning playing Dominion and ignored a 5-2.

Now I need to download this game.

#810

Or at least watch the goals tbh

#811

Watched the goals. Good stuff.

#812

Ugh. Still house hunting with parents so won't be back till Germany x Sweden.

I should be a hermit for world cup month tbh

Implying I knew the name of a single player before this started. Other than Neymar/Ronaldo/Messi ofc.

#815

I didn't predict Belgium to go that far tbh

He looks like a girl

#818

Korea denying me 3 points at extra time.

#819

Change

Germany 2x1 Sweden

**http://www.last.fm/user/nutella23** · #820

Stop doing this to me.

#822

Sweden just got mugged by the ref.

**http://www.last.fm/user/nutella23** · #823

what a beautiful goal wow

#824

I nearly picked lukaku for the boot but I thought predicting a Belgium win and their goalkeeper for glove was already pushing it.

#825

Last minute 3 points

#826

#827

I feel bad for Sweden tho. The video ref was unfair for them.

#828

Well. Sweden didn't push so hard in second half. It was all German attacks and we defended well in it.

Last foul and free kick kicked our butts.

Sucked on every level.

But this is what happens in every World Cup, some favourite seems to get bailed out.

#830

I'll do points tomorrow. It's my birthday. Don't nag me.

June 24 games
England vs. Panama
Poland vs. Colombia
Japan vs. Senegal

My predictions
England 2-0 Panama
Poland 2-0 Colombia
Japan 0-3 Senegal

Lots of goals in today's games.

#839

I feel like I've been one goal off 40 times now.

#840

Bad day for me. This group H is insane.

#841

The fun thing about group H is that every single team truly believes they're favorites to go through and have acted accordingly.

**http://www.last.fm/user/nutella23** · #842

Lmaooooo why tf did all you fooools pick poland

Colombia ftw

#843

Colombia looked pretty good when they played with 11 for some reason.

#844

Poland have a few excellent players, but daaaaaammmm they've been completely outplayed by everyone.

#845

I’ll never understand why the refs can’t just remember who the captains are. The armbands seem so unnecessary.

#846

There’s a decent chance Japan qualify and Senegal miss out now

#847

Colombia played like amateurs against Japan.

#848

I didn’t get a chance to watch either of these teams play their first games so I just predicted a tie. My gut usually tells me to go with south american teams. I should have listened.

#849

Tbf to Colombia, their game plan was totally screwed with the sending off against Japan.

#850

Japan isn't that good but it seems they nerf everyone who plays against them.
