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

Posted: **Fri Jun 15, 2018 4:31 pm**

Yeah even Cronaldo was smiling.

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

Posted: **Fri Jun 15, 2018 4:32 pm**

Looking forward to no work tomorrow and 4 games

Posted: **Fri Jun 15, 2018 4:39 pm**

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

Posted: **Fri Jun 15, 2018 4:47 pm**

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.

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

Posted: **Fri Jun 15, 2018 6:00 pm**

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.

Posted: **Fri Jun 15, 2018 6:03 pm**

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

Replace Croatia with Denmark and that's me

Hehe, Denmark are pretty good this time

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.

Posted: **Fri Jun 15, 2018 10:20 pm**

That said Nigeria never ceases to disappoint.

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.

Posted: **Sat Jun 16, 2018 7:09 am**

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

Posted: **Sat Jun 16, 2018 7:15 am**

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

Posted: **Sat Jun 16, 2018 7:21 am**

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.

Posted: **Sat Jun 16, 2018 7:22 am**

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

Posted: **Sat Jun 16, 2018 7:22 am**

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

me and lizzy have a football date

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

Posted: **Sat Jun 16, 2018 7:35 am**

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

Posted: **Sat Jun 16, 2018 7:40 am**

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

Posted: **Sat Jun 16, 2018 7:46 am**

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

Posted: **Sat Jun 16, 2018 7:47 am**

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

Posted: **Sat Jun 16, 2018 7:49 am**

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

Posted: **Sat Jun 16, 2018 7:54 am**

well, that was disappointing.

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

Posted: **Sat Jun 16, 2018 7:56 am**

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

Posted: **Sat Jun 16, 2018 8:00 am**

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.

Posted: **Sat Jun 16, 2018 8:01 am**

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.

Posted: **Sat Jun 16, 2018 8:29 am**

Change

Argentina 3x1 Iceland

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

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