To be excited about the World Cup 2

[LapsedHumanist]

Well, we’re in the last 16...

So which of your team's players have you been most impressed with so far at the WC (World Cup, not loo), folks?

Stones and Walker been ok, but nobody really stands out.

I technically dont have a team, so I cant comment.

KdB been decent, but still not amazing

Michy Batshuayi for that amazing moment....

Adopt one Tali!

I would use DD's team but West Ham are shit. (Her dad has a lot to answer for)

From Spurs I've enjoyed watching Kane, Trippier and Davidson Sanchez. Pleased Son got a couple of goals for South Korea too.

I always think Modric looks like a 12 yr old schoolboy !

Rojo was having a good World Cup until the France game.

Jesse Lingard might be the best United player so far. Along with Lukaku.

Oh no. I hope he’s ok...

He looks in a lot of pain, poor lad.

How gracious were the Croatia players, checking he was alright.

Looked painful on Mandzukic, seems to be up and about...

please god don't let this match go to extra time and penalties as well

Pain? that's nothing.

Some of these lads sheer agony when pushed in the back. Apparently, it can hurt a nerve that causes a clutching of the face of leg control.

I'm led the believe the only cure for the condition is a free-kick. It's fast-acting, and has the patient back on his feet in no time.

Torn, I find the ref ignoring said fallen player helps them jump up too. Tis nearly a miracle.

If you watch carefully, he waves his hand, and 'heals' them.
It's miraculous.

@Torn Very true. "MY FACE, MY BEAUTIFUL FAAAACE!" etc, when they might possibly have had a slight tap on the shoulder.

I must confess, I've pulled some startling faces when tapped on the shoulder from behind...

Mind you, I was in the gents at the time.

I don't know anything about football. But do you experts think England stand any chance of winning? Today my (Scottish) dad said he was getting worried (he'll take a lot of flak at the pub if they win)

I'm just so excited that they're doing well. If they got into the final stages, the country would be so buzzing. I love things that bring everyone together.

And yes, I am playing vindaloo and three lions every day whilst I get ready for work

Torn, now is not the time to discuss your toilet activities.

I would say we are not very good, but we're ok. But this competition has been much more open than usual and there's a chance... nothing more than that, that we could actually do fairly well.

I don't we can win it, not really, but it's not totally out of the question if we have a little luck along the way.

We have as good a chance as anyone.

After Germany, Spain, Portugal and Argentina are out. Anything is possible.
