Match Day Thread Russia 2018

Is this the correct thread?

Hopefully we see Cedric on the counter attack!

 

[Paddy Podped]

I still think Ronaldo dived, but am more surprised they never appeared to use VAR to check?

This is what I love about football stats, its an art.
In the 4th minute, Ronny becomes the forth player to score in four World Cups.

Fonte starting for Portugal. This could be fun...

Conflict, I got them in the sweep!

 

[tomw24]

Portugal look really dangerous on the counter.

 

[ChilcoSaint]

Portugal had to score then.

 

[tomw24]

1-1 Costa. Brilliant goal. Brilliant game.

 

[ChilcoSaint]

Superb from Costa!

 

[tomw24]

Jesus Christ what a hit.

 

[st_brendy]

Fonte left isolated, thanks to Pepe being Pepe, and rolling around like a baby - rather than defending for his country in a WC.

 

[Paddy Podped]

Players like Pepe should really suffer as VAR gets brought in more and more, can't get away with his rubbish any more

 

[fatletiss]

Cedric touched it!!!!

 

[ChilcoSaint]

If ever there was an argument for not expanding the WC to 48 nations, this game is it. 2 of the best at each other’s throats, showing the world how football should be played.

 

[----HistoryRepeating----]

Fonte has his cloak back.

Equaliser came about as Spain started shifting that ball around more quickly, and somehow managed to seduce the Portuguese further upfield. Un gol magnifica de Costa.

 

[tomw24]

David de Gea has had a howler!!!!

 

[ChilcoSaint]

2-1 Ronaldo. De Gea been taking lessons from Karius!

 

[----HistoryRepeating----]

Cedric is getting lots of love.
oh 2-1, don't think I've seen DG make a mistake like that for ages!

 

[The Ides of March]

Where is Iniesta going after the World Cup? Absolutely superb player!! And DeGea surpassing anything that Joe Hart has achieved …... horrendous!!
