I've had enough of this, are you a fucking fish out of water? Neymar should've been booked for that, he could have even gotten a red card if the referee would book Neymar for diving.

EDIT: It was over in the first half.
2nd place finish in BoF 66. There's more to come! Hopefully..
Your young don from Southwest London and I bang out 410, AM Skengdo, 1011 and a host of UK drill artists. You probably thought I was Canadian 'cause of my nation's name and flag, but I am actually Ugandan and I live in London.
Hosted the inaugural STIC, and a domestic newswire up and running. They will be a few more soon...
And remember guys, Toronton is Singular, South Toronton is an Adjective, and Torontons is Plural! Also, the USST is an abbreviation of Unified Socialist States of South Toronto, and apart from marijuana and abortion being legal, and our environmental policies, in no way does this nation reflect my RL views.

Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.

That was an edge of your seat type game. Though I hoped Brazil would win, deep down.

Now all I need is Croatia to beat Russia and I will officially be very happy with whoever wins to be completely honest. Obviously England is the first choice, but the others are not so bad. Looking forward to the craziness that will be the France vs Belgium semi finals.

When we reconvene in Qatar in 4 years' time, it will have been 20 years since a South American team last won a World Cup.

Much as I'm enjoying this version, I'm not remotely convinced that's a good thing.
