Advancement of the game? Lol, okay.

I want nations who have never tasted glory to get to the final.

Couldn't give a **** if Brazilians can do pretty flicks and the Spanish do their tiki-taka.

100%

Unnatural position. Although you get away with it a lot of the time.

I have a problem with using VAR for handballs (like the Cedric one). Everything looks deliberate in slow motion.

Agreed, doesn't work imo.

Spot on.

In fact I'd love to see Spain go out. Still haven't forgiven them for being the most dull champions ever.

If you had cited Mexico or Colombia, Belgium, Croatia or the Scandinavian nations, and I might see your point of view, but not Russia.

You don't like the hosts to do well Ides? What have the Scandinavian countries done for the 'advancement of the game'?

Vamos España! We want the best teams to get to the semis and final of el mundial. And it ain´t Russia. If Russia do progress that will be sad for the game as they do nothing for the advancement of the game. On the other hand their great strength is ice-hockey where they are brilliant.

Weren’t you calling for different nations to progress just a few days ago Ides?

 

[Libby]

Spain are ****ing ****e.

 

[Saintalona]

I don’t really find this Spanish team that scary to play...

An England V Russia final would make Poisongate topical again

Won't happen. We're in the same half of the draw.

I'll take them in the semi.

I said semi-final diddle I?

 

[fatletiss]

I'll take them in the semi.

That’s what I said diddle I?

 

[tomw24]

I said semi-final diddle I?

Not that I can see.

Yes, but Russia was not one of them. There are other nations playing more enterprising football the Russia.

 

[Libby]

Jeez Spain are tedious.

I prefer '****'.

Why have people been talking them up so much? They've played like this for most of the tournament, it's ****ing dire.

Yeah this Spain team are dead entertaining...

Dunno. Most of the commentators seem to have decided pre-tournament who they like and don't...

 

[Che’s Godlike Thighs]

Jeez Spain are tedious.

Dull as ****.
