[game thread] world cup 2018!

#201

The draw is not a bad result for either in any case.

#202

Yeah even Cronaldo was smiling.

He's the first player to score a hattrick against Spain in WC

#203

Looking forward to no work tomorrow and 4 games

#204

Definitely, hoping to find some offensively massive screens in town to watch the games outdoors. Except for the one playing during breakfast, that is.

#205

Breakfast??? It's at 12pm

you lazy ass. It's going to be goal infested so a fun wakeup call.

We have no places nearby with offensively large screens so I'm not moving my ass out of the house for 2 days tbh

Take tips from [mention]melatonii[/mention]. He is in Australia and has a similar predicament. His solution is power naps and not sleeping but staying up for games.

I'm just talking shit.

I wouldn't wake up early on a Saturday either. My family in France are though. Crazy people.

#211

Do you really think Nigeria is stronger than Croatia? I haven't seen much of Nigeria in the last 4 years tbh.

#212

Croatia are definitely better. But I'm tired of spending years and years hyping Croatia as the dark horses for every competition and having them always let me down. And Nigeria are good enough to surprise them.

#213

France 3-0 Australia
Peru 1-1 Denmark
Argentina 3-1 Iceland
Croatia 2-0 Nigeria

Replace Croatia with Denmark and that's me

#215

Hehe, Denmark are pretty good this time

What's your username on the fifa league again? Are you doing the match predictor?

#217

Very disappointed in Spain scoring that third goal, I was so close

#218

France 3 Australia 0
Peru 1 Denmark 0
Argentina 1 Iceland 1
Croatia 1 Nigeria 0

It's the trap of 3rd place. They got 3rd in 1998 and then it took me a while to accept it was a fluke. Same with Korea, which I thought was good after 2002. Meh.

#220

That said Nigeria never ceases to disappoint.

#221

France 2 Australia 0
Peru 1 Denmark 1
Argentina 1 Iceland 0
Croatia 1 Nigeria 0

The team is called Moscow Marauders, but I can't seem to get Fifa's site to work properly, always malfunctioning and timing out. FFS FIFA.

#223

sameeeeeee. what a joke fifa is. that whole enter 1 hr before match for bonus points.....genius plan, Fifa. So genius.

#224

not to mention they haven't changed that interface in literally ten years and it's a chore to put a team together

#225

oh I tried putting the team together despite promising I won't cos I know they fuck me over with errors every time. It wouldn't even load properly when I tried to do it early match day so fuck that.

also OMFG counter penalty? really? holy shit. 1-1

after a boring first half this is crazy.

#226

can shitty teams stops surprising us you're fucking up with my predictions, mates

#227

griezmann is my current crush though. such a shame he plays for the french national team. My emotions are divided.

#228

me and lizzy have a football date

#229

Love grizi, too bad he and dembele had such a subpar first game

#230

if cronaldo was taking that free kick he would have knocked it out of the park

#231

I need 3 more france goals for a 4 goal difference. COME ON FRANCE.

#232

things I don't understand in football:

why do players try to change the refs mind after a yellow card?

every fucking time.

number of times ref has backed down = 0

#233

lmao my stream commentator just referred to Germany as West Germany wtfff hahahaah #americans

#234

why do criminals who were caught red-handed leaving the bank with a bag of money plead not guilty in court?

#235

well, that was disappointing.

I think I want to change my Peru x Denmark prediction to either a draw or a Denmark win. hmmm.

#236

Peru and Denmark were probably happy France didn't look particularly strong.

#237

fifa website not working as usual for my bonus points on the next game. *le sigh*

edit: yes, absolutely.

I'm thinking of changing my prediction to 2-0 for argentina. hmm.

#238

might as well keep it at 3-1 and pray.

I'll change my prediction for peru x denmark to 1-2 right now. I just feel it's gonna happen. Denmark are on fire atm.

#239

Change

Argentina 3x1 Iceland

#246

don't know what's going on with di maria, he's been half the player he usually is

#247

Our defence is an eye sore.

#248

rojo and salvio have been bad jokes

Yea. It's happened for a while now. So disappointing.

#250

I hoped he'd blossom for the WC, but at this rate it's insane not to put on Dybala.
