I know FIFA and Russia and whoever is involved is horrible in some way... But it's the actual World Cup. Mexico v South Korea suddenly becomes hugely important to my life! England have a likeable squad and manager. Ronaldo, Messi, Neymar. Spain sacking their manager yesterday.

It's so exciting isn't it!

Excellent goal - and the commentator said 'fewer than ten minutes to play"
Croatia deserve this victory as Argentina have been dirty and have been conning the ref all through the game.

Messi shouldn't be on the pitch.

Argentina are really really poor losers and if there were more minutes left would probably have someone sent off.

Martin O’Neill got a bit aggro there “I’m right”...

I thought that too!

And it's 3-0 to Croatia!

GingerKitCat · 21/06/2018 20:49

OMG! Poor Argentina!

WhiteHartLane · 21/06/2018 20:50

Otemendi should have seen red earlier too. I expect a resignation to follow this game Wink

BelfastBloke · 21/06/2018 20:50

Don't Cry ... for Argentina

The80sweregreat · 21/06/2018 20:51

Go Croatia - they could win the whole thing!

Angrybird345 · 21/06/2018 20:52

Argentina have played very badly and deserve red cards

BitchQueen90 · 21/06/2018 20:54

If England don't win the cup I would like to see a wild card win. A lot of teams have been underestimated and are shining so far!

Argentina were poor sportsmen today. They deserved that loss.

ToffeeUp · 21/06/2018 20:58

The joys of the world cup.

Go Gylfi and co!!

LapsedHumanist · 22/06/2018 02:27

I loved Mandzukic’s dad shorts.

LankinMcElf · 22/06/2018 02:44

Fucking hate fucking football couldn’t give a fucking dogs arse fuficking bollocks about any of it.
Excuse me, coff coff, that was inappropriate and uncalled for..
Please beg my pardon.

BitOutOfPractice · 22/06/2018 07:36

We watched last nights match in the pub and absolutely everyone was supporting Croatia.

I thought Argentina were poor and dirty as ever. Ottamwndi should have been off. Can he be disciplined retrospectively? The manager walked off without shaking any hands. As did Messi which disappeared me. Very poor sportsmanship.

I thought Croatia looked good and strong. And didn't rise to Argentinian bait. Good for them.

Supporting Iceland today.

BitchQueen90 · 22/06/2018 08:59

I would like to see Costa Rica win today. I don't think it will happen although there have been a lot of surprises so far so you never know!

Iceland deserve a place in the knockout rounds. Really hope they finish ahead of Argentina.

The80sweregreat · 22/06/2018 09:33

would be nice to see England win, but if not ( probably not!) maybe Croatia or even Iceland.

alibongo5 · 22/06/2018 13:35

Neymar doing his usual rolling around if anyone so much as breathes on him. Luckily the ref isn't falling for it although the the commentator and Glen Hoddle seem to think he is being fouled every time. Funny how certain players get special treatment from them.

araiwa · 22/06/2018 14:03

Brazil have many good,exciting players but theyre a difficult team to like

alibongo5 · 22/06/2018 14:10

Exactly! And when Neymar just fouled the goalkeeper they were saying "he had to make the foul" and "he was entitled to go for it". Not like when he gets fouled then. Oh no, that's completely different!

(Can you tell I don't like Neymar?)

araiwa · 22/06/2018 14:22

Classic case of being able to dish it out but not take it

LinoleumBlownapart · 22/06/2018 14:24

I want to see him fall now Grin

To be excited about the World Cup starting!
alibongo5 · 22/06/2018 14:30

Ha ha! Love it!

alibongo5 · 22/06/2018 14:36

He should've been booked for diving! What a wanker!

ToffeeUp · 22/06/2018 14:37

Var catches Neymar out

alibongo5 · 22/06/2018 14:38

And now he's been booked for being a wanker! (well technically for reacting to a decision but the same thing).

araiwa · 22/06/2018 14:43

Shame he wasnt already booked for dive
