Was only watching for Chucky Lozano

Electronic Arts clearly agreed and I don’t think it’s hurt them much

100%. I bet they’ve not missed out on a single sale since.

 

[Wat Tyler]

He needs to lose that chewy that fullback


Champion just called Sheinbaum deeply unpopular, she’s got crazy high approval rating, stick to the cliches Jon

another studs up late challenge.

stinker that.

 

[Papa Shango]

Typical FIFA to use a massive version of their logo as the replay bumper.

No one - literally no one - cares about FIFA.

We’re here for the World Cup, you self-obsessed clowns.

Have they even got mascots this year?

Pique would be turning in his grave.

(It appears there are three, Maple, Zayu and Clutch...none of them are a jalapeno pepper in a sombrero though.)

So you mean all of those new stadiums in SA didn't serve as a catalyst to make SA a better footballing nation? Nice legacy, FIFA.

 

[Rita_Poon]

thats a yellow but 80 seconds previous is not.

poor reffing. damn poor!

A crying shame. I had him on a pair of socks - my first World Cup merch, aged 6!

 

[Papa Shango]

Yeah round pegs in square holes

Play the football you find most comfortable

I miss different styles and formations.

It just seems to be every team playing the same way to varying levels of ability these days.

On the plus side the Azteca is still a wonderful football stadium.

Haha I know exactly the pair you mean too!

 

[summerisle]

Not a bad match so far, South Africa need to be a little more adventurous.

Nothing beats World Cup Willy for me

I liked the dog from 1994 tbf, and Ciao from 1990 is weird enough that I can get on board with it

Didn’t care for the chicken from 1998

 

[Librarian]

I have an involuntary urge for a Powerade

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Water break music is a bit loud like
