2018 Fifa World Cup Thread

Well better late than never i guess. With the World Cup well under way i thought it would be good to have a place to discuss the 2018 World Cup. We are a community from many countries on BLF and the world cup brings us all together.

It would be good to see a World Cup competition on here.

Who doesn’t love some friendly banter?

Groups

Up coming group matches ( I will try and find a better chart)

Who do you think is going to win the 2018 Fifa world cup? Please feel free to update matches and scores here in the thread.

Let me start out by being salty and saying Australia was ripped of by the refs vs France lol.

Australia has an up coming match tonight vs Denmark should be a good game.

Before first matches I would say Germany, but now Spain seems to be favorite IMO.

Last night game was awesome its good to see Korea do well 2-0 was a big score its a shame they don’t make it through.

I’m an ex pom (Geordie) but never kicked a soccer ball in my life.
Rugby…. is Footy.

From what I’ve seen of the game (soccer). Yes, it’s a game of foot skills. From Georgie Best and prior (My generation)
they bloody magicians with that little round thing.
It’s just a shame that our “Socceroo’s” Don’t realise they not yet up to world standards.
One day maybe.
They have still yet to get past the early eliminations. You can dream. but be realistic about it.

2-0 “big” score??.
Try a Rugby scoreline sometime. Plenty of action. They really are the modern day “gladiators”
Then some. Physically.
Unlike the fairy pansies performing on soccer fields. Stand up and play the game like men I reckon.
They’re the biggest Pussies. Even Aussie Rules players are more men than them.
That pussie posing is what make a lot ignore the game. they spoil the actual skillful sport that can go on.
That’s my opinion of it anyway. A skillful game. Spoilt by little boys that want their nappies changing.
Some but not all thank god.

With a name like Macka, are you sure you are not a Mackem ?

All in jest (Geordie myself).

Netherlands why you no qualify this time :cry: :cry: :cry:

Croatia wins!!!

:beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer:

But I have to say England did a good job also :beer:

Congratulations, but both were not great tonight. I think the real final was yesterday.

Thank you :slight_smile:

Yes, there were better games played than this one. I believe players are getting tired and some are hurt and play like that. It’s wearing them out. I could see that on both sides today.

Please put me down for two (decent chance I’ll only buy one) been following this for a bit and it keeps getting better.

Edit: shit, wrong thread. Too much Pimm’s

As somebody who’s lived in England (Cambridge) and who has a little brother and sister born there and who works for a Frenchman, I wanted England v. France, but Croatia is a great story.

If they can win it, fantastic for them, if France wins, my buddy is happy.

Remember, Bastille Day is Saturday!

Agreed. It’s a shame they were both in the same bracket.
