I've had no inclination to watch the majority of it. Only watched one full game. I prefer to talk and read about football than watch it nowadays. I could set away watching a good game but still get bored and turn over. Modern football just doesn't suit me. Even watching the best players in the world doesn't excite me. Saddens me really.
You are missing out on a fantastic tournament, there have been some brilliant games.

Watched the last 20 minutes of Spain v Russia. Spain denied an obvious late VAR penalty. Dodgy as ****! Pissed me off.
Realised that Japan were beating Belgium 2-0 with 25 minutes to go. Thought 'Oooh this might be interesting.' Switch it on. Belgium win 3-2. Pissed me off.
Plan on watching England tonight though I'm pretty sure they are gonna piss me off!
 
Just seen Neymar's antics when that Mexican slightly trod on him. It reminded me of the shapes a worm throws when you put it on a hook. I think the bloke did it on purpose and probably deserved sending off but cor lummie do these idiots not realise that the cameras are on them. Embarrassing!

I can’t conprehend that players like Neymar aren’t getting at least booked for all this ****.

He does get kicked to ****, but there’s no need for it.

You’re one of the best footballers on the planet embarrass them with your ability you little ****ing fanny.
 
Terry Butcher reckons England are better than Columbia in every department. Is he taking the piss!!?

I believe Terry Butcher has just been selected to manage the Pilipino national team.

Nuff said

....or perhaps he is referring to British Columbia rather than Colombia

I love the weird logic of many people commenting on England at the moment.

We'll beat Colombia as we're better ranked than them and breeze past Switzerland even though they're better ranked than us. Croatia should be a nice semi-final even though they've looked as good as anyone and certainly better than us but we do at least outrank them which counts for everything - except in the Final when it's a one-off game (unlike the others?!?!?) and anything can happen so the fact we'll be playing a team much better than us who are better ranked will not matter.

Yes the draw is nicer than we could have hoped for and yes we've payed well and could get further than we initially hoped. History suggests we'll do well to get past this round and then struggle in QF/SF/F if we get there. It feels a bit like all those people who had "low expectations" before the tournament are just trying to find a very big stick to beat England with when we go out.

Bang on mate.

The plum game was Japan and they scared the life out of Belgium, only Russia are weak left in the whole thing and they seem to have the gods with them.

Tonight is tough and Switzerland (or Sweden but I’d imagine Swiss...), will be another tough challenge, we’d likely fare better against the more talented Swiss as Sweden are supremely organised and athletic.

Croatia and England is as even as it comes and its who wants it. Croatians are fiercely patriotic and they will be bang up for that game, we will need to be on it to beat them.

Brazil or France in final? We can beat either but **** me it needs a perfect showing.

There was no easy route in reality, only by name.

Blackpool have won the league but you’d rather play them than Bournemouth, there’s class in every side left in it.

(Soz for the jinx Switzerland <laugh>)
