Now the Germans are out!  LL.B (Hons) - University of Derby

The Germans are out, so? Can anyone, part from the Germans themselves really say they support them, or want to see them win. They've had a pretty poor season but usually can be expected to come good at championships. Clearly the miserable form continues. They scraped through their last game with a last minute goal . . . .enough said.
Onward England Regardless of how it goes tomorrow, we could be up against Japan or Senegal in the knockouts, really couldn't be better

So a much changed England side lose but is it a blessing in disguise? Much has been made of the fact that if we get past Colombia, we get either Switzerland or Sweden in the QF and avoid Brazil. LL.B (Hons) - University of Derby

That match was worth watching just to see the goal celebration where the Belgium player kicked the ball into his own face.

This one


If that was kicked by another player he would have been on the floor rolling about Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Was travelling but Radio 5 live suggested it was pretty dire. Seems Spain's pass count was something like 1120 compared to Russia's 280. Spain it seems spent most of the time going sideways or backwards due to lack of thought and desire.
They said Russia were playing for penalties from about the 15 minute mark . . . and clearly it paid off for them.
It's been suggested FIFA would welcome a Russia v Switzerland final - despite them being in different halves of the draw one of the pundits said that shouldn't stop FIFA / Putin, especially with Blatter being in town as Vlads guest, even though he's supposedly banned from all football related activities at present. Has some diplomatic immunity, like Boris Bankrupt Becker?

And then of course there's Ronaldo and Portugal

Japan 2-0 up and lost 3-2. That’s what you call a comeback! Good work Belgium 🇧🇪 LL.B (Hons) - University of Derby

This ref is shocking. Not clamping down on Columbia properly and that should have been a red card. Thug like behaviour! LL.B (Hons) - University of Derby
