FIFA World Cup 2018

[The Lusophone]

Morocco using the unique tactic of just not even trying to play against the best player in the world.

[Colly]

I watched Ronaldo's goal using the BBC VR app. Its quite fun for a few minutes, wouldn't watch a full game like that, even if I had all the headsets and what have you. 

[Malenko]

Ronaldo has 4 goals already in the race for the golden boot. So far, trailing behind Own Goal by 1.

[Naitch]

It took me 15mins to realise that Portugal were playing in white because I missed Ronaldo's goal and Morocco have been attacking fairly well.

Alex Scott might the BBC's best commentator. Martin Keown is also surprisingly bearable currently.

The Beeb have some great commentators especially on R5L but we usually hear the same old voice. Another positive about the WC is that you get to hear a few new voices.

And I know it is a bit sexist but its nice to hear a woman's voice on the football.

Why does Ronaldo keep pulling his shorts up when he takes free kicks now? He keeps doing new things that manage to make him more relentlessly insufferable to me.

He's doing it to spite you, specifically.

[Arjen Robben]

Well, I didn't wanna say but that was my suspicion.

[Gazz]

It's because his thighs are so big that the hem of his shorts stops the full flexion of his muscles during the kick. He's a perfectionist. It counts.

You know this isn't Alex Scott, right? 

[Arjen Robben]

God, I'd forgotten about that annoying thing Keown does every time he stops speaking, that sharp sucking in air sound, and now it's bothering me all over again.

Totally. Absolutely. Never in doubt.

I used to work with someone who did that after every sentence. Thank god he took redundancy.

Turns out Harry Kane doesn't have much of a case after all.

Funny you should post this; I literally just posted this Trent Seven clip in the WWE News thread but was debating sticking it in here as well...

We are playing pretty badly. Our back 4 is just dreadful. 

[The Lusophone]

Ronaldo had far too much time to decide where to put that.

[Colly]

Leon Best's career was essentially ended by the People's Elbow after Tiote's goal against Arsenal. FIFA should be cracking down. 

[The Lusophone]

What a save.
