[game thread] world cup 2018!

#151

Well, just because I support them doesn't mean I'm gonna pretend Cronaldo and Pepe are likeable lol. I'm not out of my mind. But imo this new generation coming through with guys like Bernardo or Guedes is a bit more likeable.

#152

Since Salah isn't starting, I'm changing my score prediction for the Egypt x Uruguay game to 0 - 3 for Uruguay.

#153

I cant change it on Fifa website or predict who will score first because fifa is a pile of shit. literal shit.

#154

was a weak shot, but on target. good save by egypt's el shenawy. I've never seen him before.

#155

egypt has surprised me! I'll root for them over Russia!

#156

Uruguay are cunning, they're letting Egypt attack while controlling the game. Of course, it can backfire.

I dunno. the way I see it is Uruguay is breaking a sweat for real.

#158

Definitely, but Uruguay seems to be waiting to bite them on the counter.

#159

OHHHHHHHHHHHH damn suarez wtf

#160

Salah getting impatient in the bench

#161

If they bring Salah on, he's the finisher Egypt needs atm. I think Egypt can seriously win this game if Uruguay play the same way in the second half.

#162

then again, I worry the Egyptian team would function less as a team and more revolving around Salah if he's playing

#163

take egypt's 21 off that field. he's a sloppy mess.

#164

shenawy has been great! well done to him. his first international game beyond friendlies, yea? kudos.

#165

come on, 10 mins left, put salah on. :o

#166

C'mon, gives us some Salah

#167

el shenawy :o man of the match

no salah today, used their last sub

#168

Fuck Sergio Ramos

#169

EL SHENAWY MANNNN

#170

rip egypt

#171

Egypt need to beat up Russia to even stand a chance now

#172

yes, and Uruguay need to beat up russia too.

#173

Uruguay will reach the Russia game already qualified with 6 points, they might even rest players and be happy with a draw

#174

oh shit. I didn't think about that.

#175

Same applies to Russia is they beat Egypt tho. In which case both teams may decide to try hard in order to get an easier Ro16 match.

#176

the plan is for egypt to qualify so Russia must lose to Egypt

#177

[mention]Sloonei[/mention] - you missed the first game of today. Can you predict the next 2?

Morocco x Iran
Portugal x Spain

#178

The Return of the Vuvuzela

#179

player rankings updated.

only sloonei missed out on points so far because he didn't predict anything for the 1st game

JJJ, Iai, wolbre and melatonii netted 2 pts thanks to a score difference of 1 goal. and the rest of us 1 for predicting Uruguay as winners. no one guessed the exact score yet.

#180

I'm travelling to France on Tuesday so whoever would like to help out in keeping tally those 2 days would be a life saver thx

In the fifth minute of a six-minute extra-time session! That all but guarantees Morocco will come in last in Group B. Killer stuff.

#188

**http://www.last.fm/user/nutella23** · #191

Dang I should have been rooting for Spain lol I always used to bc I adored them in 2010 guess I should have followed my heart

#192

Crazy game.

**http://www.last.fm/user/nutella23** · #193

Damn what a game that was. That last goal was incredible

#194

This game was just outrageously tense and unpredictable.

#195

Amazing fucking game. I rooted for both teams cos I wanted my tie.

sorry Buckaroo ❤ but yea c7 is a fucking monster. We have a hate / love / it's complicated relationship, me and him.

#196

Also costa ❤❤❤❤❤ I love that man

#197

Cronaldo was insane, almost scored a 4th near the end. Too bad the rest of our frontline looked nervous and wasn't nearly as inspired.

#198

When Costa scored my dad just blurted out "Now that's a man's goal".

#199

They didn't want to risk breaking the tie to a mistake..everyone but cronaldo was happy to park the bus at that point.

#200

So apparently only me and Choutas predicted a tie.

This is the look of smugness
