FIFA World Cup 2018

[The Lusophone]

Tbh I'd have thought about the cloud hanging over this world cup would be the gays in concentration camps but sure, gamesmanship is the problem.

Hey technically there's still MLS on tap for July 4th in the US if any of you stay up real late. Real Salt Lake face Sporting KC in the stupid team name derby tonight!

Good Guardian article of shithousery. 

That is good. Nice to see Neymar getting singled out. I don't think I've ever seen a game with him involved where his behaviour hasn't been pathetic.

That'll actually be a decent game.🙄

2nd vs 4th and featuring reigning double champions and soon to be Champions League participants Cork City. It also will likely see Damien Delaney make his  debut on his return home to Cork! Much watch stuff that.

Risky move from the Russians to use Novichok again in an attempt to nobble the English team, lets see how it plays out.

[Arjen Robben]

It's a bold strategy, Cotton.

I just saw the referees assigned to the quarter finals. How is it okay for an argentinian ref to direct the game of France - Uruguay after France kicked out Argentina the round before?

Even the fairest and most integer referee on the planet, there will be people doubting his every decision against France.

Shouldn't FIFA look to avoid such things?

[Malenko]

Against France? A lot of Uruguayans can't stand Argentinians. I'd be more worried for them. (I'm not, but point still stands)

Toivonen was absolutely woeful, best thing he did was get injured for Defoe to come on and score THAT goal against Newcastle.

[TCO]

That stat really means fuck all seeing as none of Italy, Germany and Spain are in the quarter finals and it's not even current players they're counting.

I bet half of them came from single season loan spells from Champions League clubs too. In that logic Harry Kane counts a Leyton Orient player.

That has always been the case.

He was born in Walthamstow but he was made in the Royal Navy Leyton Orient.
