The Saudis have Clattenburg to teach them the rules of the game now, how can they fail!

Seems genuine. The phone number for the Chinese is my local takeaway in Hursley Road.

 

Or just a clever form of advertising?

I know the bloke, probably a few more on here do to, (nice fella/not a virgin/married contrary to a few recent suggestions on twitter! ) who put that up as a light-hearted piece but he's now got 300k followers from all corners of the earth because of it, most taking it in the right spirit, a few a bit more abusive

 

Still, if you want to get yourself a free World Cup pizza..........................................

Martín Caceres playing at left full back for Uruguay! Whatever happened to him?

[niceandfriendly]

Caceres looking a bit dodgy

Currently he is playing Left Full Back for Uruguay at the World Cup.

 

Egypt should've played Salah, need that world class edge in these games.

I was expecting that the punchline was that it was from the husband, to a footy loving wife.

Jonathon Pearce off to a flyer. Thinking side netting was disallowed goal. Then banging on about Uruguay being ‘awful’. Only one team looked like winning second half and they did. Weren’t great but once he had decided that was it.

 

Have beeb sent Lawro out there? That little ray of sunshine is going to love Russia if he is there,

[DT]

Caceres - could never understand why we let him go. Didn't he do something unspeakable or something? Very odd. Thought he was class, personally

How could you tell that as he was only on the bench for us..

Totally agree - Pearce needs to join Motson in being put out to pasture.

Hopefully he catches pneumonia and is sent home.

Hopefully he catches pneumonia and is sent to Siberia.

Have lumped on Morocco purely cos podcast said they were good and needed a bet to liven up interest.

[OttawaSaint]

No Boufal = no party. Sorry Morocco..

[whelk]

Somehow posted twice

[Convict Colony]

Come on guys we have #ziyechwatch to enjoy at least

[S-Clarke]

Morocco look v good. Wouldn’t be at all surprised if they get out of their group.

 

Not sure if they look that good, or if it's Iran who are simply terrible. They do have some nice attacking players though, so they do carry a threat for sure.

 

Getting out of a group with Spain and Portugal is a tough ask though.

Does look a bit like an L2 game. Swinging and missing, goal mouth scrambles and Iran swivel shot that went out for a throw. Entertaining though

[Cabbage_Face]

Nigeria fans banned from taking Live Chickens to matches. Worlds a mess. #chickengate

Dont' worry they will still be able to email us at half time about the money they have stumbled upon

Had a beer at lunch and managed to snooze most of the afternoon at my desk.Somewhat disappointed to wake up to see only 25 mins had passed.

[Mystic Force]

Iran are terrible, Morocco only slightly better and have the goal scoring ability of Southampton except creating clear chances to waste. Now Irans turn at comedy shooting. Bofal must have taught them this way to play when he got his last cap.

[Cabbage_Face]

No Boufal No Party.

[niceandfriendly]

At least it's clear now why the club didn't want to play or sign Caceres. Wow, what a shocker of a performance from him. Perhaps just a bad day, but he was a complete mess.

[Convict Colony]

yeah todays games have been sh*t but I suppose when we have had these types of countries involved it was bound to be.

 

All hope on the Spain v Portugal game later

[DT]

Can you get odds on Ramos to dislocate Ronaldo's entire body?

[Convict Colony]

Nah I will go for Ronaldo taking out Pique

[angelman]

3 games of the 64 been played, and they have ALL been diabolically boring and piis poor. Hopefully Spain/Portugal will offer some entertainment.

[whelk]

That Moroccan will be given the freedom of Tehran

[Convict Colony]

another late goal today

I wouldn't count on it

[Window Cleaner]

Bloody trumpets are back though. Had to turn the sound off.

[Wade Garrett]

Game almost as bad as that woman pundit ITV had. Absolute nightmare.

Purely for nostalgia, and because I watched the Turin documentary recently, I hope the England fans give it the 'Let's all have a disco' 1990 style.

[angelman]

The vuvuzela was v fing annoying

[Saint Albert]

Cedric is starting for Portugal.

[niceandfriendly]

Hopefully Ceddy Sou has a good game, and Ronaldo scores an own goal or two.

[Pamplemousse]

Fonte starting too

[Pamplemousse]

Fonte

[BotleySaint]

Hopefully Ceddy Sou has a good game, and Ronaldo scores an own goal or two.

Yes it'd be great for us if he can find some form again and have a good run with Portugal. So low on confidence last year.

[simo]

Fonte starting too

 

Just been had on toast by Costa

[OttawaSaint]

Oh dear Jose.

[Batman]

At last, the World Cup starts

[John Boy Saint]

Nice to see VAR saw Pepes feign to suggest he was punched made it easy for the refs

[John Boy Saint]

Some of this Spanish football is sublime

That array of triangle passing before Iniesta flicked it just wide. Amazing.

[OttawaSaint]

De Gea

It looks like a football match has broken out !
