FIFA World Cup 2018

I audibly belly laughed at Ochoa’s selling of his “injury”.

Am i right in thinking that if Germany finish second in their group, and Brazil won theirs, they'd meet in the last 16 and the winners of our group would play them in the quarter finals. So theoretically we'd probably want to finish second?

Yep.

[Chris2K]

About time Sonny showed up. What a hit on his weak foot.

[TCO]

If Sweden can squeak a draw here then Germany are fucked!

[FLiam]

Mesut Ozil seemingly dropped. 

Oh Mesut.

[MDK]

Gabby Logan: Bury has produced some good fullbacks over the years...
Trippier: ... Gary and Phil Neville, yeah
Gabby: Who is your favourite Neville?
Trippier: [Exhales]... Tracy Neville, hehe

[FLiam]

Fair to say that Germany have started the stronger of the two.

93% possession after 15 minutes.

[Adam]

Sweden very nearly in on the break though, Forsberg is a potential game changer.

[MDK]

That was surely a penalty, no? VAR, sort yourself out, son.

[Chris2K]

I'm not sure if Sam Matterface being meta about his "measuring footballers according to celebrity heights" thing from last week is funny or cringe-worthy.

I'm leaning to the latter.

[FLiam]

Ouch!

That's a broken nose.

The BBC have been putting in a bad pun in one commentary per day. Robbie Savage does a World Cup breakfast and they pick a bad pun for the commentator to slip in, the most recent one I caught was in the recent Iran game where he said "They are Tehran them apart".

[Chris2K]

That's a great finish. 80% possession means nothing when you're 1-0 down.

[Baddar]

Amazing finish!

[FLiam]

That is a wonderful finish.

Germany look so wobbly at the back. That was so utterly simple for Sweden.

[MDK]

Ahahahahahah

[DavidMarrio]

Brilliant little dink. They've broke a few times Sweden.

No need to be racist, mate.

[Adam]

Wonderful centre forward's goal that was. I cannot envisage Germany being out of the World Cup after two matches. It just does not happen.

When was the last time they didn't make the Quarter Finals?

[Cymbols]

Wasn’t sure if Sweden could do much against Germany given the lack of pace, pleasantly surprised. Big fan of both teams though, so this one is shaping up quite nicely.
