FIFA World Cup: Russia 2018 [Archived] Soccer • Page 37

the hispanic commentator over the weekend was my absolute favorite

 

I think we're all talking about the same person

 

Don't think I am, I'm sure I would recognise his name and it wasn't the guy you said earlier.

 

With Poland vs Senegal underway we've now seen all 32 teams at the World Cup.

I honestly can't predict who is going to win this - I'd probably say Spain and Portugal played the best out of the 'bigger' teams. But this could develop into a really interesting and unexpected tournament. Who knows?

All I know is that I'm loving it! Some great games so far.

 

The best performers in round one were probably Spain and Mexico I'd say, but it's hard to judge really. Germany will certainly improve, as will Brazil, and France could if they learn how to be a team rather than a collection of individuals. I thought Portugal weren't actually that great. Ronaldo was good but even then he scored a penalty and De Gea fumbled an easy save.

 

poland..... poor fucking poland

 

That was like a player leaving the penalty box at the right time in hockey. Poor officiating there.

 

as a casual fan, didnt know that was allowed or possible

 

He was waved on before the Polish player did anything. Bad defending and bad keeping.

Huh? What do you mean?

 

I'd be pleased as punch with Japan and Senegal going through

 

Didn't know you could do a sub in the middle of a play like that. Thought it had to be during a dead ball or at a time where it's totally cleared

 

That wasn't a sub. He was off the pitch having treatment. Ref has to let him back on while play is ongoing. Senegal had a man less while he was off.

 

The sub came after that. That was a player that had to go off for an injury coming back on

 

Ah. Had sound off. Makes sense

 

I disagree. Watch the play again. The ball was floating around in the midfield and Poland didn't really have possession of it. Senegal could have just as easily gained possession and played it ahead to the player. Bad judgment by the official imo.

 

I’m hyped for this Russia-Egypt match - wonder how Salah will look

 

Meanwhile, Martial is sitting at home.

 

hell; yeah go senegal baby

 

What? I've watched it multiple times. The player was waved on while the ball was in the air before the Senegalese player headed it. That's as safe as can be. Referee takes absolutely no blame whatsoever.

 

Predictions for which club will overpay for Golovin?

I'm going with Chelsea. Maybe Dortmund as a wildcard.

 

seems like a Napoli signing 100% imo

 

Jonathan Pearce is such a knobhead.

 

Egypt have been really disappointing

 

I want Salah to score so bad.
