2018 FIFA World Cup Megathread

[The South Falls]

These saves are becoming almost ridiculous. This will go to penalties. I'll tell you that.

[San Regada]

U S T A Š A !

Kidding, not all Croats are fascists, but sheesh even a Turk I know is singing Ustasa song lyrics in celebration of Croatia's goal.

I guess some people really don't like the Three Lions. Regardless, it was a well worked goal imo. Now the game is interesting.

[Idzequitch]

England have lost the control they once solidly had over this game. How will they respond?

[Risottia]

The English defence is hard as butter.

Hard as butter? Is this positive or negative lol

Well, butter isn't exactly known for its resistance to penetration, is it.

[The South Falls]

England have lost the control they once solidly had over this game. How will they respond?

By kicking field goals like they've been doing.

[Risottia]

Perisic is ruling over the pitch Kane seems to have disappeared.

[Yaana Noore]

This game is gone, Croatia's to lose.

[San Regada]

Part of me wants to see this go to penalties, but I also don't want to go through another 30 minutes of tit-for-tat missing.

[Yaana Noore]

Only one way this is going. Feel a late Croatian winner.

Yeah uh, look where England have a Free Kick. Set pieces my man.

Edit: I spoke too soon.

[The South Falls]

YES! It's OUT!

[San Regada]

YES! It's OUT!

Are you ready to sit through another 30 minutes of tit-for-tat missing? I don't think anyone is going to score. Like you said: Penalties.

I think if anyone will score in extra time, it will be England. But I have to give the slight edge to Croatia and Subasic if it goes to penalties.

JERISTE SPREMNI ;;)

I am ready to sit through it, if the Rosbifs lose.

Subasic's penalty saving is good, and Croatia's kickers better.

[Risottia]

My, Croats and Brits really like extra times this year, don't they?

[The South Falls]

My, Croats and Brits really like extra times this year, don't they?

They really do. I mean, extra times are what the cool kids do now.

Italy did them before they went mainstream. That's why they didn't try hard to qualify, it's full of posers, so it's better to be noticed because of absence.

[Bombadil]

In a sense it's better England win because Croatia will be on zimmer frames for the final given the amount they've played this last three games.

Good sir, who/what is/are a/the rosbif(s)?

Rosbif is a French pejorative for an English person.

Aha, thanks.

Not anti-supporting England or anything but I actually want, or wouldn't mind, them losing.

Why? Belgium vs England Part 2. I feel like Belgium was basically forced to win the first one.

[Yaana Noore]

You want a second pointless England v Belgium that both sides don't really care about?

What an odd reason, the 3rd place playoff is so meaningless I find it hard to even bother watching it.

Eh, I feel like the 3rd place playoff should be cared about by both sides ideally. I mean, particularly for England, if they did lose (bare in mind, I don't particularly want Croatia to go through either... its 50/50 really tbh) since I imagine finishing 3rd would be better for them than finishing 4th. I can see England fighting for it - 3rd place is still huge for them - but Belgium, not so much.
