The 2018 World Cup Superthread

eagle eye

Excellent response, could turn into a big win now.

sligeach

Hopefully Spain batter Morocco.

ERG89

Weird, f**ked up stat of the tournament; De Gea has conceded every shot on target so far.
Ah a save acc to Livescore.

Morocco missed a one on one

Joke of a ref in this Spanish game, Spain get away with a two footed lounge and then Morocco given very soft yellow cards

A very offensive posture indeed

FourFourRED

Pick that one out!

You’d swear they implemented a system with lads with replays available to deal with these kinds of things. Bring in VAR to fix this!!!

sligeach

Iran must be sick. I know I am. Completely undeserved.

sligeach

The Iranian keeper probably could have done a bit better to save that goal.

Loafing Oaf

If things carry on like this we could end up with Brazil, France, Spain, Germany, Argentina, Uruguay, Belgium and Colombia all in the top half of the draw.:eek:

Will I Am Not

Hope Ronaldo scores just for the hissy fit :pac:

sligeach

Did clearly doesn't know about Liam's managerial history.

StringerBell

How was that not given in real time as a foul?

sligeach

Ronaldo trying to buy another penalty.

FourFourRED

Jim Beglin, captain obvious.

Corholio

Iranians losing the head. Silly challenge to try and bump him, correct decision.

Great save.

sligeach

He really is a horrible player. It's where he gets so many of his goals.

Trigger

Good save

sligeach

Love it. C'mon Iran.

StringerBell

Poor penalty

Bret Hart

The GOAT is human after all :eek:

Cypher_sounds

SHould send those idiots off for harassing him.

It will be a surprise if Iran finish this with eleven on the pitch

Messi isn’t fit to lace Luke Chadwick’s boots

Iran can **** off to be honest. If they spent more time playing and less time moaning and diving for pens maybe they'd be level.

Hopefully this is the last we see of them.

Portugal are worse for the histrionics....Pepe, Ronaldo, Quaresma....

Will I Am Not

Iran are going to have to go for this at some stage. There’s nobody getting forward on the rare occasion that they do break, afraid of their lives to leave themselves exposed.

I'm not a fan and am begrudgingly supporting them because I got them in a pool but Iran have pissed me off even more than Portugal usually do.

sligeach

For God's sake Spain. 2-1 down.

chopperbyrne

Wouldn't call that an elbow from Ronaldo. Just trying to run past him.

sligeach

Ronaldo should be sent off, but the ref will probably chicken out.

sligeach

Ridiculous, if it's a card, then it has to be red.

kevthegaff

Lovely header from morrocco

The #8 was weaving all over the place infront of him.

Jaysus. I dunno did anyone mention it but the knee injury that caused Lanzini to miss the WC is an ACL, MCL and Meniscus.
He's possibly out for 15 months and will almost certainly miss the whole of next season.

Awful stuff.

Bret Hart

Correct call from the ref. Brilliant officating from
Enrique Cáceres.

Fcuk me thats hideous.

Corholio

Bit lucky there not to be off tbh. Iran winding him up nearly worked.

spock.

Spain are lucky Iran beat Morocco in the first game.

Morocco really should have won that game.

FourFourRED

Never a red card.

Iran still need two to go through now that Spain are down 2-1

Your hatred doesn't dictate the rules. Iran player was backing into him and Ronnie pushed past.

Richard Hillman

Red card for me. And that's coming from a guy that has had doubts about his heterosexuality for the guy.

eigrod

Definite arm in the jaw, neck area. Red card for me.

Which meant Ronaldo couldn't land his intended elbow cleanly on the chin. It was as bad as his performance tonight.

brianregan09

I think the ref wet the bed there , Ronnie should have been off
