Cba with another 30 minutes, I'll check reddit for video clips later of anything exciting which is unlikely to happen.

Time to play some Battlefield instead.

To be fair, I quite enjoyed the Boateng shoe collection story, it confirmed to me that Boateng is a prat

Croatia did the same at Euro 2016, looked good in the group beating Spain etc and then **** in the knockout stage.

Tbh, even though this game hasn't been great, it wouldn't surprise me if either of these teams got to the final. Both hard to beat. Capable of beating anyone. On this side of the draw, anyone can beat anyone.

Croatia aren't as good as people thought.

Croatia aren't as good as people thought.

Was just thinking that. There are no good teams at this World Cup.

It really is funny how sure people are when they try to predict what’s going to happen.

You just can’t predict tournament football. If you try then ultimately you end up looking silly.

The fact competition is so high is evidence to the exact opposite of this. The standard is very good, it’s just not coming from where people expected.

I thought Uruguay looked like the only team that have put in 100% I think it is going to take a really good performance to beat them.

Why does he keep calling Lovren, Diane?

I disagree completely, the standard is very poor. It's competitive but not because the standard is high. There is a distinct lack of quality throughout, Germany, Argentina, Spain, all lacking quality.

People are automatically deciding because it hasn’t been bossed by any of the teams you mention that it must be because they’re lacking quality.

It’s actually because they’re being matched and competition is incredibly close. The quality is quite literally world class.

No...I'm deciding because I've watched every team. Where is this world class quality?

 

[arctine]

Where is this world class quality?

Lol. It’s called the World Cup.

 

[Psycho Ned]

Fair play he had to do that, took one for the team.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

What a pass by Modric, that was the very definition of World Class.

 

[McBain]

lmfao that's a great challenge.

 

[Shamikebab]

Lol. It’s called the World Cup.

You realise world class doesn't just mean players from round the world don't you?

 

[marc2003]

Yellow?
