FIFA World Cup 2018 - Quarter-finals [6/7 July] **spoilers**

[BaZ87]

He only looks good because they brought Jermaine Jenas in to be a pundit. JJ could make Theresa May look like a great football pundit

Hansen, Dixon, etc, were good. Shearer has got a bit better over the years but still one of the worse pundits.

Snob

And Shearer has got worse. He makes things up as he goes along. One week something is a foul, the next it's not.

Though the thought of Martinez winning the World Cup is mind boggling.

Can’t get over the fact that he can’t manage Everton but might win the World Cup

 

[glenimp617]

Russia, they've arranged it already

Haha I did actually think that earlier today. Let's see how the var stuff goes in their game tomorrow

I do love to see a Brazilian crying

All the Brazilian hotties bawling their eyes out!

 

[Yas786]

Very poor by Brazil, rather unfortunate for the OG but the second Belgian goal was sublime though.

Brazil just didn’t have enough quality finishing wise. Neymar was poor and Coutinho was shockingly bad tonight.

I think if Belgium beat France they will win the WC tbh and honestly out of all the teams, they have impressed me the most.

France vs Belgium is gonna be one cracking game.

Very wide open this WC so far with majority of the big teams out.

All the Brazilian hotties bawling their eyes out!

I wouldn't mind cheering some up, for a few seconds

 

[Kerplunk]

All the Brazilian hotties bawling their eyes out!

They have probably bawled out worse

 

[Converge]

Shearer has got a bit better over the years but still one of the worse pundits.

His hesitant speech drives me mad these days.

“Got to... ah... got... ah... to ask QUES...tions errr...”

I like Jermaine Jenas, at least he’s articulate!

Can’t get over the fact that he can’t manage Everton but might win the World Cup

Everton didn't have Kevin, Eden, Kompany, Lukaku and Thibaut Courtois, though.

Lukaku?

To be fair you said "and"

 

[adam cool dude]

Can’t get over the fact that he can’t manage Everton but might win the World Cup

He did well in his first season and struggled after that. Some managers are better managing football players than buying players. Brian Clough was a similar kind of manager who needed Peter Taylor with him to get the players in.

 

[doodah]

Silver lining now that Brazil is out, Neymar is off to Thailand to help the divers.

I'm going to hell but lol .

 

[HungryHippos]

I have an accumulator or two running, but to get anything back requires Croatia to beat Russia, so I am hoping that comes off!

 

[Skorpion]

So many cheats flying home from this world cup...oh there goes another one....bye bye Neymar !!

 

[Participant]

Had to check Twitter to see if I heard Martinez correctly.

Roberto Martinez: "I've never lost a game on the tactics board. It's about the execution of the tactics.

Unreal.

I interpreted that as Martinez giving credit to the players for the win? Probably lost in translation I think.

I interpreted it as per FoxEye. How else can one interpret it?

 

[Nate75]

I wonder if Sweden will play with a flat pack four today? Anyone got any Ikeas?

It’s coming home

Don't care if England win but its been a refreshing atmosphere this world cup fans and team alike.

Agree with this. Rather than the negativity and trepidation associated with England and the World Cup, it's been a refreshing change to see a relaxed squad, no media sabotage and relative success. Hasn't been overhyped but we've all got the right to be a little bit excited now
