Oki. Sorry

Posted: **Sat Jun 23, 2018 6:30 am**

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.

Posted: **Sat Jun 23, 2018 6:40 am**

I always suggest cafes or bistros with big screens

Posted: **Sat Jun 23, 2018 6:41 am**

I'm going to miss the first game.

Posted: **Sat Jun 23, 2018 6:48 am**

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?

Posted: **Sat Jun 23, 2018 7:59 am**

You may have a point there.

Lukaku's on fire.

Posted: **Sat Jun 23, 2018 10:01 am**

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

Now I need to download this game.

Posted: **Sat Jun 23, 2018 10:12 am**

Or at least watch the goals tbh

Posted: **Sat Jun 23, 2018 10:42 am**

Watched the goals. Good stuff.

Posted: **Sat Jun 23, 2018 12:04 pm**

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.

I didn't predict Belgium to go that far tbh

Posted: **Sat Jun 23, 2018 12:18 pm**

i like the korean goalkeeper's hair tbh

He looks like a girl

Posted: **Sat Jun 23, 2018 12:51 pm**

Korea denying me 3 points at extra time.

Posted: **Sat Jun 23, 2018 12:53 pm**

Change

Germany 2x1 Sweden

Posted: **Sat Jun 23, 2018 12:53 pm**

God damn it why does this keep happening I keep having the score right until fuckin extra time

Stop doing this to me.

Posted: **Sat Jun 23, 2018 2:17 pm**

Sweden just got mugged by the ref.

Posted: **Sat Jun 23, 2018 2:36 pm**

what a beautiful goal wow

Posted: **Sat Jun 23, 2018 3:53 pm**

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

Posted: **Sat Jun 23, 2018 3:54 pm**

Last minute 3 points

Posted: **Sat Jun 23, 2018 3:56 pm**

Posted: **Sat Jun 23, 2018 3:59 pm**

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

Posted: **Sat Jun 23, 2018 5:28 pm**

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.

Posted: **Sat Jun 23, 2018 7:45 pm**

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

Brazil's last game comes to mind.

Lots of goals in today's games.

Posted: **Sun Jun 24, 2018 1:33 pm**

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

Posted: **Sun Jun 24, 2018 2:50 pm**

Bad day for me. This group H is insane.

Posted: **Sun Jun 24, 2018 3:28 pm**

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

Posted: **Sun Jun 24, 2018 3:41 pm**

Lmaooooo why tf did all you fooools pick poland

Colombia ftw

Posted: **Sun Jun 24, 2018 3:45 pm**

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

Posted: **Sun Jun 24, 2018 3:47 pm**

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

Posted: **Sun Jun 24, 2018 3:47 pm**

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

Posted: **Sun Jun 24, 2018 3:48 pm**

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

Colombia played like amateurs against Japan.

Posted: **Sun Jun 24, 2018 3:52 pm**

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.

Posted: **Sun Jun 24, 2018 3:54 pm**

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

Posted: **Sun Jun 24, 2018 3:54 pm**

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