To be excited about the World Cup starting!

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!

I almost wish Iran had gone through to shake things up a bit, but then I suppose they didn't deserve that penalty

LetsGoFlyAKiteee · 25/06/2018 21:31

Yeah did feel sorry for that miss.. But like said never a penalty really.. They'd been so much agro if that had gone in!

Such fun with VAR... sometimes works.. A lot the time nope.

Hope Nigeria beat Argentina today! Would be great to see them go through.

LinoleumBlownapart · 26/06/2018 11:40

I would like to see Nigeria go through too. If they draw with Argentina, do they still go through or does it depend on Iceland and Croatia?

BitOutOfPractice · 26/06/2018 12:07

I think everyone is a Nigeria fan today 🇳🇬

Argentinan journalist says a witch doctor 'Manuel" has been flown out as an emergency mission to help the Argies.

ToffeeUp · 26/06/2018 12:42

Iceland fan here 🇮🇸
But I wouldn't mind too much Nigeria going through.

Maradonna has been weighing in too......

awwww they're desperate. Brazilians are lapping it up, saying it's payback for all the 7-1 jokes Grin

Lino - Argentina have to beat Nigeria and hope Croatia beat/draw with Iceland to go through. Croatia are through on 6 points, Nigeria have 3, Iceland and Argentina have 1.

I'm going to watch the Nigeria/Argentina game later and will catch the 2nd half of Denmark/France after doing the school pick up.

FawnDrench · 26/06/2018 16:43

Denmark v France tedious to watch, unexciting and scrappy. Disappointing.
Looks like a 0-0 bore-draw so far, with about 5 minutes to go.

Hope the Nigeria match is more entertaining this evening.

JacquesHammer · 26/06/2018 17:11

I’m very torn on which match to watch tonight!

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 26/06/2018 18:35

Australia were a bit shit.

Halfblindbunny · 26/06/2018 19:05

Can anyone explain group D for me? Who has to win etc to get through. I'm cheering for Nigeria, do they have a chance?

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 26/06/2018 19:12

Group D.

Croatia are through, only Nigeria can catch them if they win.

Argentina need to beat Nigeria and Croatia need to beat Iceland for Argentina to get second place.

FawnDrench · 26/06/2018 19:21

Ooh this Nigeria v Argentina game is much much much better than this afternoon's offerings and Messi has scored a fabulous goal.

Come on Nigeria!

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 26/06/2018 19:37

Come on Nigeria. Dont choke now.

WhiteHartLane · 26/06/2018 20:09

Excellent 1-1 Smile

FawnDrench · 26/06/2018 20:10

Yay!! They've equalised with a penalty. Woo-hoo.

Come ON Nigeria.

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 26/06/2018 20:11

Yes! Come on Nigeria

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 26/06/2018 20:14

Croatia are winning now so Nigeria need atleast a point.

Halfblindbunny · 26/06/2018 20:14

Yes! Come on Nigeria!

GingerKitCat · 26/06/2018 20:33

Go Nigeria!

Go Iceland!

GingerKitCat · 26/06/2018 20:36

(Sorry that's a bit contradictory but I'm enjoying the group tussle!)

BitOutOfPractice · 26/06/2018 20:37

Oh it's all getting very interesting now. Come on Nigeria. Come on Iceland

BitchQueen90 · 26/06/2018 20:38

Keeping Argentina out by any means possible is all I want tonight! Grin
