Official World Cup Thread (Sweepstake in OP)

I think he meant Lloris tbh, he does look a lot like Lloris and nothing like Courtois.

 

Missed the first half. Has it been a good game? Do Germany deserve their lead?

 

That was my guess, but wanted to see if I was right or not.

 

Of course, Excellent point, I mean the french keeper. Don't even know his name.

 

Good game. Chances both ways. Germany with the majority of possession, France looking dangerous on the break. Neuer the difference, so far.

 

Hugo Lloris. Spud's keeper.

 

Thanks! Got the second half livestream on in the background so hopefully will be able to follow it a bit now.

 

Ah for f**ks sake, I know that, what the f**k is wrong with me today? jesus christ. I am very tired though, 3 hours kip eery night for the last 2 weeks, one of the kids is not well.

 

Well this games got a bit dull all of a sudden.

Sakho off, not sure if it's a precaution on injury? Way commentators have been talking about him it's almost a surprise France are 5 down given how bad he is/ was playing and how prone to errors he apparently is!

 

Wow Mark Lawrenson makes Martin Keown sound like ****ing Shaft. He is the very worst. The Sakho abuse continues.

 

Officiating has been a bit naff in this game.

 

I don't get the Sahko defence on here. Is it purely that he plays for Pool or do people actually rate him? (and if so why?)

He played 18 games for Pool last season and there was 1 clean sheet in those 18 games.

 

Muller missed! WTF! He is human!

 

Fooker!! I had him in an anytime double with Neymar

 

nah, the German techie forgot to recalibrate his laser guide sensors prior to the game.

#he'llbeback

 

We think he's better than he looks. He's no world-beater, but he has potential. It's a bit like when (some) Arsenal fans were defending Mertesacker when he first went to Arsenal and was having more than a bit of a 'mare.

 

in this tournament I reckon, a sad day when Webb has been one of the better refs

 

I rate him. He didn't have a great season, few injuries, few mistakes. But every defensive player we have made a tonne of mistakes this year. The high pressing, attacking way we play invites pressure on the two centre backs.

He's strong in the air, good in the tackle and for all the stick he gets his pass completion is very high. If he had an experienced leader next to him I think he could become a great player for us, he is only 24 too.

 

The Gerries boring their way into the semis for the umpteenth time ffs

 

Davis Luis is getting quite a bit of stick as well. FIFA #1 player at the WC so far, apparently.

So true.
