Second Round Discussion

[chrissyjack]

Pickford would have saved Cavani's second.
Are we all agreed on that?

No . Seeing as he's the worlds tallest shortarse

Ronaldo and Messi, for you the war is over

It's good. There's been too much nonsense about the pair of them.

Time to move on up.

Career goals in the World Cup Knockout Rounds:

Julian Green – 1
Lionel Messi – 0
Cristiano Ronaldo – 0

They've both seriously never got one in the knockout stage?

Can we have the World Cup in Russia every year please?

 

[summerisle]

Just got in from work and saw the goals from the France Uruguay match. Are they the best goals ever in a World Cup match ?

Cavani’s prognathism scores the first.

Have to say, this world cup has been terrific, I was expecting it to be blighted with hooligans and boring games, but overall it has been fantastic in great stadiums. I was in St.Petersberg about 3 years ago and saw the stadium starting to take shape.
Considering all of the fuss made after they were awarded the tournament the Russkis have done a great job.
Roll on Qatar (is it Qatar?)

Actually think the fear of hooligans has helped by keeping some of the hangers on far away.

Saw Warren Barton crossing the street in front of me yesterday. Posted it in the minor things/fume thread.

Its been great.

I had a pre-tournament bet on Uruguay to win the tournament, with Brazil the losing finalists. 250-1. Tasty.

Can't happen now, but still back the Uruguayans to go all the way.

Spain v Russia is a truly mouthwatering prospect.
World Cup is brilliant.

And that famously includes the horrid Alan Green. The fact he is RS is irrelevant in this matter
The mullock pontificating on how he was boycotting the Russia tournament because he truly feared for his life, even in the commentary box.
Well the radio broadcasts are all the better him not being there. In fact BBC ought to push him into the long grass for good.
