World Cup 2018

[En Passant 3,741]

Good grief no, tease away. Merely replying in kind (or thought I was).

 

And no, I find all that really really irritating too.

However...they have to say something. If I put myself in their shoes you'd be subjected to 90 minutes of silence or at most 'yeah that wasn't bad' or 'good grief ref get a grip' once every 10 minutes.

Commentating is an easy job to knock, and I'd imagine an extraordinarily hard one to do.

dont they just follow the ball with their eyes and report where it is

[Deathray 2,940]

Going to run a viewership record for the England games. Pretty huge audience last night. 

 

Group Match 1: Peak 18.3m  / Average 16.8m  / Streams: 3m /

[Clorox Bleachman 2,436]

As an outsider to football, the red card doesn't mean anything. I blame Colombia's defeat on a critical lack of Shakira.

Ahhh, I'd forgotten how racist biased English Commentators are...ha! Calling a bunch of workshy thickos "intelligent" and "clever"...

 

Not only that but the supporters bash out "Rule Britannia" like it's a solely English number.

 

Nevertheless, it is a storming performance by England against Tunisia so far, have to applaud them for their ability....not only in playing football but living up to their "Englishman abroad" tag by elbowing a foreigner in the face....

 

 

 

Rule Britannia is solely an English number.....

 

 

 

Also love the way the commentators call every 'english' Mohammed 'Mo' to make them non Muslim.

 

Pretty much as Scots do with Maurice to make them less homosexual.

[charon 4,943]

Double post.....

 

A delete option be handy DI.....

Fucking hell.

 

She's married to Pique.

 

 

Never knew that, her sons will play for Spain.

Of course Poland loses to Senegal. 

 

My dad was right...

 

This should've been expected. The overpaid cunts didn't even try... they're treating the World Cup as a relaxing vacation from their club careers.

 

Whatever happened to making your country proud?

[Deathray 2,940]

99.6% of Iceland's TV viewers watched their Argentina match, 60% of total population. Presume the other 40% are in Russia.

Actually they lost because I got them in work sweep.

Or could be that only 61% of Icelandic households have a TV.   The other 39% live on boats moored to the dock.

[Deathray 2,940]

VAR is wonderful.

[YoungWillz 21,057]

Quite clearly, Mexico have the most handsome team.

 

And I am unanimous in that.

[charon 4,943]

Huns have never lost back to back games.

 

Thank fuck.

 

On Germany -1 (doubled with Belgium-1)

 

 

Mon the Reich .

Why wid that stop a TV?

 

 

I don't have one for over ten years, and I  want to buy a boat to end my days in.

 

Might have a TV, might not.

[charon 4,943]

Arrrrrrrrrrgh.

 

R5 has a whining bitch as main commentator.

 

 

Whit the actual fuck?

 

 

Why wummin commentate on proper sports?

 

 

Unreal, £500 on the line and I'm switching off.

Not in some parts of Scotland it isn't.

In some parts it is currently 1623AD

[YoungWillz 21,057]

I see Serbia have lodged complaints against the Swiss (e.g. Kosovan Flag on Shaqiri's boot) and FIFA (German ref where the Swiss have a large German speaking population).

 

Tbh, I think Sweden are on firmer ground with that refusal to at least review the penalty shout against Germany.

 

Oh, England have scored. Let's hope they can escape from that really tough group they have....

[philheybrookbay 439]

Twice now.

 

I on the other hand is having a lovely afternoon with a Dan Jones Box Set on the War of the Roses from Channel 5.

 

Well it’s one battle England will win at anyway  

[Deathray 2,940]

5-0 at half time. How often can you say that at an England match?

[charon 4,943]

Depends how much you stutter I'd imagine.

[charon 4,943]

England looking for 5-0 at the cricket too, but just after h/t they are 27/4.

And that after scutching the Aussies out in 35 overs.

Yes, I couldn't be fucked listening to the fitba and chose the cricket

[Toast 16,144]

I can actually bear to watch this lot.  They seem like a nice bunch of lads, and not overpaid workshy prima donnas for a change.  They all sing the National Anthem unlike some of the little shits that have worn an England shirt.  I always liked Gareth Southgate, unglamorous hard-working player, he knows what it's all about.

Don't the team normally release a World Cup song, or has that tradition died out?
