LDOG

Second goal ruined my perfect prediction but nvm at least I got the result. 

This was a somewhat predictable upset to me.

Can't say for the rest, but the goal actually ruined the life of the Bulgarian assistant referee. People stopped talking to him then, the BG Football Union allegedly asked him to pay to continue refereeing. At his funeral in 2017 only a small group of people went and there was no actual acknowledgement by the football union, even though he was an actual player before that. He was forgotten by everyone after that match. He has also said, that he saw the hand in real time, but the rules at that time were, that the assistants can't signal or communicate with the head referee unless directly asked by him.   

If I'm not mistaken, the main ref was tunisian and auctioned the match ball for 2 million dollars. 

Now Poland will play with 11 players inside box vs ARG. 

Yessss 

Lewandowski is cursed 

We were given a ridiculous PK last game for a soft grab, well, this one was even softer.

I see a clear penalty here. I have no idea why you guys are claiming for justice, especially in an event where everybody knows about "la mano de Dios" in the past.

 you must be blind or just touching someone is a penalty to you.

Tomorrow's  vs  is really promising...

 

 

waiting for  vs  and  vs    

 

p.s. those idiots are playing with fire...they don't know what expects them if they end up in the Qatari police hands...

 

This is absurd, there's no kind of sport rivalry, hostility and barely any historical link between the countries yet they now feel like it's some derby? 

30 years ago a fight between these people would have been unthinkable, social media is poison.

his wife is widow of Senegal's Coach in WC 2002 Bruno Metsu 

That lady has a weirdly specific type of man   

After watching Brazil, Spain, France, England, etc. I'm starting to hope we lose to Mexico. No point playing this WC anymore, it's not possible to compete with them.

Belgium will not beat Morocco and Croatia playing like today. 

Not wanting to downplay the spanish performance but Navas had a very weak response in like 4 goals.

Curious who will be ranked 32nd... Qatar, Iran, Australia, Costa Rica?

Iran should get points.  

Another one that may get a big zero is Cameroon.

Argentina football 2004:   

6-0-0 record. 17 goals for, 0 against.   

Not saying they are the best ever because the modern olympic football tournaments are objectively lower quality than the pre-1992 ones but wanted to give a shout to this impecable record.

We have players+ coachs in KSA ...when they win looks like we did 

Al-Hilal has an argentinian coach, with that criteria maybe I can celebrate too then?

Where is LDOG !!!? He left, like each time they lose something 

the next time close your eyes you will win 

Even the saudis have played more world cups than Algeria  I guess you can only celebrate the success of others.  

You even left the forum crying like a baby when you didn't qualify.

I'm not even sure if KSA will beat the other teams, I suspect they took their chance today because quite a few of our players were in really bad form.   

I think with some severe surgery in the starting lineup Argentina can come back and win the next games but it doesn't matter, the dream of the world cup is over already. You can't come back from such a blow. At least not fully. This is our 1-7. 

Beyond embarassing. I don't even know what to say so eh 

Iran is not out because Wales and USA are very average teams (my opinion). But... a team advancing from this stage after conceding 6 in the opener would be unprecedented. 

Ok, end the game now I need the points.

if I think that a team like Wales (not wanna mention the non-European teams, as they rightly have their reserved spots) is playing the world Cup and Italy are playing the clown role in some meaningless "friendlies", I just have the unstoppable temptation to throw something big and heavy out of my window... 

The play-off draw format was a failure. There should have been 4 different pots, not just 2.

Official Polish NT social media channel made a vlog where they "leaked" the tactical set-up ahead of the Mexico game suggesting it will be 4-5-1. They removed the vlog for a while but put it back online and claim it's the Mexican line-up

 

should know if that's actually the case? Even though the names are blurred it appears as the 9-striker name isn't long enough to be Lewandowski but the GK name appears to be too long for 'Ochoa' either

 

Mexico always plays 4-3-3 so it could be. 

Apparently Noppert is 2.03m tall  pretty sure he's the tallest player in WC.

According to Italian media, Messi's ankle would be swollen and he wouldn't be in great condition 

It was fake news, he just had press conference and said he's perfectly fine.  

@thepharoah yesterday, now you. Stop reading shit news sites guys

John Stones and Eric dier aren't definitely producing funny performance and they're the main CBs of a very high qualify teams like City and Tottenham 

Dier is extremely average. Stones is just ok.
