WCE board FIFA World Cup thread

[ChampRevesby]

And they were cracking! Mexico sliced through Germany in the first half, should have been further ahead.

A few interesting results is good for the comp.

Why do the Germans always go to Russia unprepared?

France too. A narrow victory for them like Borodino in 1812. Except us, not the Russians

All three games tonight and tomorrow are on SBS following the Optus streaming debacle.

Sweden South Korea right now, and the Swedish kit looks mint.

Sweden missed one of the easiest chances that this world cup will ever see.

I've found soccer far more entertaining than footy for the first time in a long time

Yeah the congested shit show that is most AFL games is making it hard to watch, amongst other things. Thank god the Eagles play their own way.

The camera quality is amazing. Its a shame the AFL version of review is such a shit show given we can see what is possible. It looks as if defenders have no leeway now when bringing someone down. More penalties then ever before in a WC so far.

We've had 4 (?) Penalties given with VAR, take those out and we're at par.

Nothing will be missed again

The matches that I have seen + highlights have been pretty entertaining. Some cracking long-range shooting e.g. Ronaldo free-kick. Games seemed to have been free-flowing and some excellent passing.

Awesome awesome tournament so far.

Harry Kane getting it done for England.

Unfortunate clash coming up with our game on Thursday night.

I’ll still watch WCE, it’s not even close.

Once every 4 years vs a regular season game that happens 22 times a year...yeah not close for me

OptusSport on the PC. West Coast on the TV.

Colombia Japan is a great game so far!

 

[ChampRevesby]

I like Denmark, they created Lego.

 

[ChampRevesby]

I'm trying really hard to like soccer but the blatant diving and staging really puts me off.

I agree

Has been shit

 

[ChampRevesby]

That penalty is harsh (Not that I know shit about the rules)

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Australia have made a really strong account of themselves but still in a bit of a bind to progress.

Assuming France beat Peru, it’ll be up to us to beat them too and hope a French team with nothing to play for stops Denmark playing to progress.

 

[ChampRevesby]

The French are flopping harder than Rance, pathetic.

They're such a talented group, I don't know why they resort to it so damn much
