Match Day Thread Russia 2018

[- Doing The Lambert Walk]

Wow, wow, wow!

Cavani. What a wonderful goal.

 

[Le Tissier's Laces]

No, Argentina haven't won the Copa America for over 20 years.

Okay, I wasn’t aware. But let’s not be silly about Messi here. He may not be the GOAT but he’s top 5.

 

[Libby]

Has Messi not won the Copa America? I mean he’s definitely scored goals in it, so...

No missed a penalty in a final though I think.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen 2 strikers work as hard for the team as Suarez and Cavani, they are both monsters.

 

[Che’s Godlike Thighs]

Iceland’s population is only 350,000!

Yeah, they're a phenomenon. Nothing less.

 

[ChilcoSaint]

Phew, a rare fumble from Muslera there!

 

[Saintmagic]

Okay, I wasn’t aware. But let’s not be silly about Messi here. He may not be the GOAT but he’s top 5.

Oh yeah, he’s still the best ever in my view, winning nothing internationally doesn’t change that

 

[----HistoryRepeating----]

Nice Ronaldo, very nice.

 

[ChilcoSaint]

Cavani looks done. Absolutely brilliant from him tonight, best individual performance of the tournament so far.

 

[Saintalona]

Just to put Uruguay's achievements in context:

Central/South American countries in WC 2018 by population:

Brazil: 207 million
Mexico: 127 million
Colombia: 49 million
Argentina: 44 million
Peru: 32 million
Costa Rica: 5 million
Panama: 4 million
Uruguay: 3 million

That's the same population as Wales, or Lithuania.

Couldn’t we just send in the Army and Annex them? If we combined our squad with there’s we would dominate

Disagree, Mbappe trumps him IMO.

 

[----HistoryRepeating----]

Yep, he left everything out there. Brilliant performance by Cavani.

 

[----HistoryRepeating----]

I'll tell you what, tomorrow has a lot to do, just to be half as good as today.

Thank you Russia.

Okay, I wasn’t aware. But let’s not be silly about Messi here. He may not be the GOAT but he’s top 5.

My top 5 of the modern era (my lifetime) in no order...Cruyff, Pele, Maradona, CR7, Messi....

ZZ just misses out, but what a great player!

 

[ChilcoSaint]

Disagree, Mbappe trumps him IMO.

Yes, fair enough on today’s games. I kind of meant over the tournament but I didn’t word it properly.

 

[tomw24]

Yes, fair enough on today’s games. I kind of meant over the tournament but I didn’t word it properly.

Thought you meant performance in one game. Cavani has been excellent all tournament but Mbappe was just on fire today.

 

[ChilcoSaint]

He was, didn’t work half as hard as Cavani though!

 

[ChilcoSaint]

Laxalt has been excellent too. In fact it’s hard to pick a Uruguay player who hasn’t given everything tonight.

 

[Che’s Godlike Thighs]

Laxalt has been excellent too. In fact it’s hard to pick a Uruguay player who hasn’t given everything tonight.

He's quality.

Where have I seen that haircut before though?
