The Official World Cup 2018 Thread

[Capt Pat]

Rojo was allowed just stroll into the box unmarked for the winner. Moses almost got back to him but it was too late.

So 8 of the last 16 teams through, 6 European 2 South American. Somethings just dont change but hey lets spunk another 16 places at the next world cup for garbage teams.

Fifa is like the Catholic church. The developing world has more heads.

Isnt all the money though in Europe. If its a numbers game then give one spot to China and one spot to India thats a third of the world covered and the remaining teams can be their on merit and not qualify because geographically the other neighbouring teams are even more of a joke.

Maradona away to hospital after the match

Looks in poor health for some time but like Gazza seems to have a circle of "friends" that likes to parade him in public.

Yeah, I'm sure it took some serious convincing for him to go to the World Cup, where he is treated like royalty alright.

Real royalty would convince their king not to appear in public until fit and healthy.

He's Maradona. Everyone knows he has his vices. I'd say he's had too much to drink and needed a drip. Syf I'd say you'd be some craic on a stag party. You're the man that would suggest mini-golf

Diego will always be the real people's champion.

Maybe it's not about footballl quality. Why is the tournament on in Russià? And next in Qatar ?

1978 had 16 teams and 38 matches
2014 had 32 teams and 64 matches
More teams means more money. 16 teams would weed out a lot of chaff.

The Euros are the same. 8 teams in 1988. Very hard to qualify with a crap team then.

England had two teams in it and both were rubbish

Of all the things he had too much of, I'd say drink was the least. He was completely off his rocker. Drink don't do that my friend.

[quit yo jibbajabba]

The glass screen in front of him was covered in a white powdery substance with his handprints etc. Unless he was weightlifting at ht.....

[oakleaflad]

Yeah I thought it looked fairly obvious he was off his head on drugs, most likely cocaine.

Argentina always play better in the black shorts.  The white ones look shite.

[AQMP]

Germany back in the traditional green change strip after f**king about with reds and blacks.

Alright, Gok Wan.
