World Cup 2018 General Discussion

World Cup songs peaked in 1990. After that it's all downhill.

Look at these two numpties

What the clown-ish environment at Man United can do to you

Pray for England if they have to rely on these two bums ffs. Although Rash seems a slightly serious lad. He needs to get out of there before he completely turns into another nincompoop like Lingard.

Rashford won't be starting and Lingard may start but easily could not.

We're not relying on them at all.

I've only just noticed the startling similarity between Sun headlines and Trump tweets

We’re going into the tournament with an 15-game unbeaten streak.. this can only go wrong now

At least means we'll go trough group stages.

So apparently this is the 2018 WC theme song

What did I say about Tunisia? Exactly. Dangerous team with pace on the break and they can hold their own in possession. Lots of Pacey players who will cause problems to England and co. Spain got lucky with a goal.

We watched it again last year in one of our classes, and I got goosebumps all over again.

The football quality of that world cup however was terrible. 2nd worst World Cup i've watched(behind 2002 World Cup which takes the cake for the worst international football tournament i've watched)

The most boring and nauseating team winning that world cup(2010) was pretty fitting in the end actually.

What's wrong with 2002? Was a great tournament imo.

Lot of top teams/top seeds playing like absolute crap and going out earlier than expected

The scandalous South Korea games against Italy and Spain, particularly the former

Only like 1 dominant team in the whole tournament and Brazil winning it became a mere formality as soon as the group stages were done

Overall it was a pretty terrible spectacle imo, kinda like 2010. Lets say i dont have many good memories of that world cup. England-Brazil was probably one of the matches of that tournament.

Nothing Scandalous about it tbh.

No need to be mad because South Korea were better.

Why would i be mad about it

I just said i dint like the tournament as a whole overall

There was some horrible officiating in those matches, no denying it. Not like i care about it but i'm justifying my arguments as to why i found the world cup pretty dire overall.

Don't know why 2010 gets so much hate.
We loved it down here.

Spain played clucth football to win it.
Asamoah Gyan and Ghana.
Tshabalala's opening cracker.
Suarez's controversy.
Diego Forlan and Wesley Sneijder peaking.
England goal line controversy.

speaking of legendary football anthems

INGERLAAAAAAAAAAND



christ that was a load of shite, im old enough to remember it being blasted back when it first came out too

Ghana-Uruguay was definitely by far the match of the tournament. Some of the most insane drama you've ever seen.

Loved watching Uruguay in particular throughout the tournament. Loved watching a young, exciting Germany.

Hated watching all of Spain's matches. Absolute snoozefest football to the core.

The rest was nothing to write home about, imo. Even Netherlands dint particularly play great football in that tournament. I liked them much more in 2014.

The football quality was much better in 2014 than in 2010 if you ask me.

2010 was one of the worst WCs I've ever seen, pretty much every game was a non event.

2014 was one of the better ones in recent memory.

2014>>>>>2010

It's hard to make WC football as boring as it was during 2010. It's still great because it was a WC but everything else (except 2002) >>>>>

Uruguay, Ghana and Germany were the best part.
