World Cup 2018

And lets hope Geiger ends up in footie purgatory like this infamous Norwegian referee.

Not sure what you mean. Cards earned through the quarter finals are wiped out going into the semis. You cannot miss the Final as the result of anything other than a sending off in the semi-final game.

Lingard for young dairy farmer of the year.

Oh, man, that should have been 1-1

Great save by Pickford!

ETA: but the corner leads to 1-1!

ETA2: I have to say I’m fond of having overtime. It’s not a nice, but an exciting and emotional match.

that IS 1-1!!

Awesome. Colombia is back!

This isn’t a hard and fast rule and bit changes from tourney to tourney. And tell Michael Ballack that.

Might England be headed to…PKs???

It’s been true in the World Cup since the 2010 tournament. Previously, cards were re-set after the group stage, but that caused possible problems with the Final match. So they changed it.

ETA: Extra Time

yo grité… y di asusto a mi mama!

I yelled, and scared my mother!
Gooooooool!!! Colombia

Ok. That sounds better than what went on before.

Colombia deserve absolutely fuck-all from this game, what a terrible way to play the game.

Still, deserves got nothin’ to do with it.

Can we please just fast forward the next 30 mins plus penalties? I don’t think I can take any more…

If PKs, then England will hopefully lose. Would not want them to overcome their national trauma. :stuck_out_tongue:

19 stoppage time goals. Wow. Fergie-time lives on!

Nice pirrouette by Young.

Nah, he didn’t stick the landing. :stuck_out_tongue:

Can someone please tell me why Sterling plays over Rashford? Sterling has horrible composure in front of goal. Remember Man U three match losing streak against Liverpool? If Sterling could finish that would have never happened.

In every German news outlet I read today, it was mentioned that Southgate has done PK practice for over a half year and has even picked out the shooters preemptively. Could this be the WC where Germany suffers its greatest trauma, being 4th in group stage, while England overcomes its greatest trauma, penalty shootouts? They even have a competent goalie this time for a start.
