Fuck both teams

 

[Bitmap Frogs]

Olmo out??? how??

 

[LiquidMetal14]

 

[StabbyStabStabStabStab]

The best thing we can hope for is penalties - will be far more entertaining than this nullifying bore

 

[EviLore]

First 20 minutes were fun but miserable since

 

[IDKFA]

Terrible game. And where is the atmosphere? It's like they're playing in a library, or ar the the Emirates.

I might tap out.

 

[Trilobit]

Just jumped in to watch this. 0 - 0 and 0 energy.

Especially compared to La Azteca yesterday

 

[DKehoe]

Feel like Spain are really missing Nico Williams. Having him on the left wing and Lamal on the right lets Spain really stretch the game in a way they're struggling to do just now.

Edt: lol Spain score right after I post that.

 

[EviLore]

So low energy he was able to just walk up and score

 

[Trilobit]

I thought a match between two neighbouring nations would be hot hot hot

Edit: Goal, woohoo

 

[LiquidMetal14]

FIANLLY

 

[Hideous Snake]

The Arsenal player came to save them. Champion of England

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

oh my, portugal going home

 

[near]

That one goal will be enough to win it.

 

[T8SC]

The sheep scored! CR7 going out in tears again?

 

[Hideous Snake]

It was actually a very well executed one touch passes that opened them up

 

[P:axMagellanic]

Yet "the world" did not have the same fever pitch as they do now.

I wonder why that is?

There's shithousery and corruption of various forms involved in every major football tournament. Americans are catching flack this year because you're the main host of the main international. It'll either be forgotten about as soon as the Euro's arrive in the Home Nations in 2028, in which case the scrutiny will absolutely pass to England. Should you win the tournament however it'll merely become part of footballing lore.

[IDKFA]

As soon as we complain, there is a goal.

He would've been more useful to Portugal sitting on the bench.

 

[Hideous Snake]

The type of shithousery I love

 

[DKehoe]

Time to test GAF's powers of manifestation

 

[Insane Metal]

100% accurate

 

[T8SC]

He would've been more useful to Portugal sitting on the bench.

Agreed. Ramos would be the better starter, more energy.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Accurate

 

[Hideous Snake]

Sack Martinez. Imagine fucking up two golden teams..

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Sack Martinez. Imagine fucking up two golden teams..

He'll be in Al Nasr with his besty CR7 SUIIIIIIIIIII

 

[Agave]

NO, NOOOOOOOOO, SON OF A BITCH

 

[Hideous Snake]

He'll be in Al Nasr with his besty CR7 SUIIIIIIIIIII

Nope. We already got Ange

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Nope. We already got Ange

 

[StabbyStabStabStabStab]

Well what a flaccid Portugal - shame, such promise

 

[EviLore]

One last floportunity

 

[moogman]

Portugal playing across the backline in the 7th minute of injury time out of 6 is an interesting tactic

 

[DKehoe]

Agreed. Ramos would be the better starter, more energy.

Whether or not Portugal could manage Ronaldo's ego seemed to be the biggest question about how far they would go. Now we have the answer.

 

[Bitmap Frogs]

fuck yeah! moving to the quarterfinals!

 

[Hideous Snake]

Thankfully done with this dreadful shite

fuck yeah! moving to the quarterfinals!

Congrats mate!

 

[Idleyes]

Spain it is. Congrats to them.

 

[Agave]

Hmmm let's see


France will beat Paraguay (boring)

Canada will beat Morocco

Portugal will beat Spain (Very close match, so it'll probably in penalties)

US will beat Belgium

Brazil will beat Norway (another boring)

England will beat Mexico (We gotta have at least one unexpected win, despite rumors that the Cartel has been rigging the matches)

Argentina will beat Egypt (another boring)

AND Colombia will beat Switzerland (bias aside, it'll probably be a close match)

I am so fucked. 3 predictions wrong, and now US is gonna play next 0_0

 

[LiquidMetal14]

This was a battle of 2 big teams but man that was probably as boring a game for me to watch as it could have been. I'm glad Spain won and I know what time it is and I know we've been spoilt this world cup.

The USA Belgium game will be much better to watch.

 

[Trilobit]

Rough couple of days for portuguese speaking people.

Good god yes

There's been too many teams in this world cup, now is when things get tense and fun!

I don't even watch futbol anymore, I live in Spain but I rather listen to it on the radio.

It certainly did. I remember the uproar when Qatar "won" the world cup 2022 vote, meaning the tourney moved to the winter months. Then there was the 2015 corruption scandal.

This is just another one to chalk up for FIFA, but for some it's the straw that broke the camels back.

My wish is that UEFA and others breakaway and reform. I understand UEFA aren't saints, but FIFA is rotten to the core and beyond redemption.

 

[Melfice7]

Congrats to Spain im just glad this fucking HORRIBLE manager is out of Portugal

 

[Insane Metal]

Yeah but some games are too unbalanced. I mean... Argentina vs. Egypt...

 

[Spooky Scary Skeleton]

Every Portuguese speaking nations are effectively eliminated from the tournament.
