Round of 16 thread

[Spikey]

for some reason I'm still watching this game

 

[vcs]

Dire match.

 

[mr_mister]

Yeah Spain play some horribly boring football

 

[Daemon]

1050 passes from Spain

 

[vcs]

It isn't really their fault, they play to their strengths like every other side. It's just that their strengths lie in endless midfield ball retention and they are short of players who can dribble past defenders. They're so good at keeping it in midfield that the other side is forced to sit back.

 

[vcs]

Wow, Akinfeev..

 

[Pratters]

Croatia road to semis looks easiest if Russia wins

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

First tie breaker of this wc approaching

 

[OverratedSanity]

That should be a pen imo. Manhandled Pique.

Edit: Eh, on replay, both kind of wrestled each other. Fair enuogh.

 

[Daemon]

Var (y)

 

[vcs]

Who gets to decide when the technology is invoked? Is it dependent upon whether the players badger the referee aggressively enough while making rectangle signs in the air?

 

[harsh.ag]

God I hope Russia fail to score a single one of the penalties they've been playing for since the beginning.

 

[duffer]

Heere we go

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Poor effort from the keepers so far

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

 

[harsh.ag]

Haha Spain are going out to Russia. Good, good, hosts alive means everyone has a better time (apart from the Spaniards)

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Haha hero

 

[duffer]

Holy ****

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

How did he save that

 

[fredfertang]

Fix!
