The Official World Cup Thread

[Niigata Jack]

I saw Max in a pub in Neath earlier watching Belgium v Morocco,he said to me “nobody tells me what to do especially FIFA and if I want to wear my rainbow armband I’ll wear it.”
Strange bloke.

Spoiling yet another thread with your bullshit, Pathetic

That goal could be a lifeline for Germany

Werder Bremen lad. Klinsmann gave him no credit on BBC. All about the Bayern Munich system blah blah. Trying to play that system at the back is why they came a cropper against Japan. At least they had the sense to change it. Russell Martin take note!

Been out here (variously Qatar and Dubai) since the off and it’s been an amazing experience to see us at the World Cup and has ticked the top of my all time bucket list ambitions. A genuine lifetime of memories.

However…I would also like to take away a memory of us actually putting in a proper performance on the pitch. I look at the other smaller, unfancied nations and most have gone out and put in some great performances and even got some amazing against the odds results.

So, for fcks sake Page, get the team up for the game against a plainly superior team to us (but if you can’t get up for this game when can you?!!!) and at least give them a fckn game is it. Something for us all to be proud of beyond we’re little Wales and we qualified.

Anyway, needed to get that off my chest, feeling much better now

C’mon Wales

This is some entertainment this morning

 

[Swanjaxs]

[Blackpooljack]

Great entertainment today.

Oooh, controversial, Anthony Taylor! Blew the whistle for full time immediately after S Korea had just won a corner. Technically correct, but in the spirit of the game, they usually allow it to be taken. The S Korean manager earned a red card for his after match protests on the pitch, right in the ref's face.
Shades of Clive Thomas blowing his whistle when the ball was in flight from a corner, and disallowing the subsequent goal. Clown.

To be fair there had been 11 minutes of extra time after the board said a minimum of 10. They’re just disappointed.

What a pathetic penalty that was, the Uruguayan player was falling backwards with his hand breaking his fall and that's given handball. Var killing the game.

It's not VAR, it's the tw*ts that watch them and make decisions.. interpretations used by refs to make decisions are killing the game

Not expecting anything from tonight.
But
We were never gonna get past the last 16 anyway , so even if we go out, beating them was always gonna be our 'final' in this tournament. Not withstanding the bragging rights we'll have, winning this game will be bigger than actually reaching the tournament itself. Especially when England bottle it later on.
Trying to convince myself there is something to hang onto here, realistically tho.....we'll get mullered.
