World Cup 2018 thread: Let the Wars begin...

boooo hisssssss 😛

Glad Brazil is out but I always get grumpy when it's all European teams at the end. What a surprising turn of events. This is what makes the WC so great! 🙂

Its been nearly twenty years since a none-European side won a World Cup. I guess when it came down to it Brazil just weren't able to give that big match performance they needed to get past Belgium. Belgium have been excellent and have really surprised me. They still have a tough test in France next time out, but they know this could be their best chance to win a major trophy.
 
Ahhhhhh! What a victory. Three Lions on a shirt. Good professional display from Sweden just didn't have the quality to deal with the Winners in waiting.
 
Oh well, without a lucky break to get the first goal so we can survive on a good defense, Sweden doesn't have much to show for. lol

On bright side. I think the semifinals will be a lot more watchable now when they might even talk about the teams actually playing instead of praising the Swedish team.
I root for England to take the cup now. Think that would be fun. Even though I still believe France will actually take it.

So who do England play next? Or will that be decided in the game tonight?

Either Russia or Croatia depending on what happens tonight.
IT'S COMING HOME....!

I could hear the singing from the pub half way down the road, each time England scored and for around the last 10 minutes!
Sameee! Some are singing on their way back from Pride.

It was just sod's law in our office - our iplayer stream cut out in the 93rd minute! We all scarmbled for our smartphones but the cheers outside told us the match was over. At least we caught most of the match though.

Fantastic! Really great team performances and we managed the two goal lead extremely well. It was a really professional performance from England. No matter what happens now its been a very good World Cup for us. Still much to do, but this might be our best chance to win it for sometime.
 
If England win the WC I'm gonna have to hibernate for at least 6 months, it will be unbearable otherwise, since my backwards country is served by a foreign media.

Embrace it. Claim a GB victory. Get out on the street with your Union Jack and Harry Maguire mask.

To be clear, I have no problem with England (which people assume), just its unavoidable media, outside of movies and TV - I like English humour a lot. I also spent a lot of time in Manchester as a child, and Liverpudlians are a lot like Glaswegians. Yeez are awrite, aye.

Yeah our pundits and media are low quality. This is the most fun I've had watching football for years though
Yes! I feel like England has a better chance against Croatia so 😀
 
Not sure why... but I found myself really cheering for Croatia.
I might retract my statement that I root for England and root for Croatia in the semifinal instead. 😛
