FIFA World Cup 2018

[Buzz]

Some of the biggest names in the sport have struggled so far

 

[Lorac]

Neymar looks like he was limping...

All an opposition player has to do is look at Neymar funny and he will start limping!!!!

 

[Buzz]

 

[Lorac]

Mind you the Swiss are being fairly physical. They need to be careful as they may get a player sent off if they aren't careful!! And the sub one of the guys on a yellow - makes sense!!

 

[Buzz]

Eight minutes left!

 

[Buzz]

3 minutes!

 

[Buzz]

2 minutes of extra time left and it will feel like an eternity

 

[Buzz]

1 minute!

 

[Buzz]

Free kick to Brazil!

 

[Buzz]

That’s it! Switzerland gets a point!

 

[Lorac]

Brazil really haven't impressed - started out well and the goal was awesome but Switzerland hung and got the equalizer. Good point for them.

 

[SHARPIE]

Well that had me as well.

Hopefully England will bring it tomorrow

You and me both

A loss for Germany . Draws for both Brazil and Argentina. With the exception of Cristiano, the big names have looked lackluster. This has been very unpredictable so far.

 

[Buzz]

Maybe this truly could be England’s year to win again?!

Hope not, the only team I am rooting against. Good luck to Russian police for today’s match from English ‘fans’.

 

[oleada]

Colombia will win it all!
So many underperforming favorites though

 

[Buzz]

I am not ashamed to admit that I am watching the Germany v Mexico match again.

A false earthquake was registered in Mexico City after Mexico beat Germany.

Congrats to Mexico! Geographically they are the closest team to me, so I may start rooting for them.

How many years of “hurt” now is it?

 

[Buzz]

LOL But judging from the lukewarm performances of the top teams so far, it may not be so far fetched. We will see.

 

[SmallFairy]

How many years of “hurt” now is it?

"No more"!

 

[SHARPIE]

How many years of “hurt” now is it?

Did you see “Mock the Week” last week? Poor Daragh O Brien , he started a round of “Things you won’t hear at the World Cup”

Practically everyone said, “Ireland are on the pitch” or similar.

 

[Lorac]

So Sweden South Korea on next. Not sure how this one will go but if either team wins that puts more pressure on Germany. The Germans would like a draw I'm sure!!

 

[Buzz]

Can’t watch the first two matches today. But wishing them all the best.

 

[SmallFairy]

Sweeeeeeden!!!

We are at 16 years of hurt since our last appearance.

If it’s any consolation to Ireland I just checked Wikipedia:

“Canada at the FIFA World Cup. This is a record of Canada's results at the FIFA World Cup. Canada has appeared in the FIFA World Cup on one occasion, which was in 1986.”

I’m not even going there
