Arena The *Official* 2018 FIFA World Cup Thread

Wave bye-bye to Egypt and Saudi Arabia (even though they still have a game to go).

 

Anyone who wants Russia to win should be boiled in their own pudding and buried with a stake of holly through their heart.

I hate Russia.

 

"Schastlivogo Rozhdestva!"

 

Officially documenting my prediction for Iran to shock the world and upset Spain via a 1-0 result.

You may quote this and mock me in about two hours.

 

I'm hoping Iran wins since I have them in the pool here but not holding my breath.

 

well Achilles the cat predicted both Russia wins , don't know if he's predicted tonight's match .

 

Worst World Cup day so far.

 

yeah , I know that astro-turf is comfy but c'mon , the amount of laying about .

 

Japanese football fans tidy up World Cup stadium after their 2-1 win over Colombia

 

Have you watched Poland vs Senegal?

 

When we are taken off the Cup, I hope at least it’s at the hands of an enemy of freedom like Iran, Saudi Arabia or England.

 

Maybe Morocco should have watched the original American Pie before the tournament. The lacrosse coach's speech could have set them on the road to victory.

 

Predicting the correct winner four times out of four is tiring, does anyone want to guess the matches of tomorrow for me?

 

No. But I will predict more terrible and excruciatingly painful brushed leg, stroked back, and touched head injuries.

Oh and...

Updated.

 

Are you a cat?

 

Looking forward to the Aussie v Denmark game. We won’t win but we’ve already celebrated qualifying so everything that happens after that is just a bonus.

 

Dominated Denmark after the erikson goal but as usual for the Aussies chances but no one to put the ball in the back of the net

 

You have still chance to pass if you crash Peru and France beats Denmark.

 

Unfortunately I feel like France and Denmark will play out a unremarkable 0-0 or 1-1 for both to get through. Our fault though we should of taken all 3 points today

 

Well, France is currently up 1 goal to nil.

World Cup 2018: Women finally allowed in Iranian football stadium

 

And France is through to the knockout stages, despite more proof that Didier Deschamps has no idea what to do with a wealth of attacking talent.

Through: Russia, Uruguay, France
Eliminated: Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Peru

 

Iran is still in it til Monday. England play Panama Sunday at 1PM UK time.

 

Iran isn't just "still in it" - they control their own destiny. Win and they advance!

 

Yeah, but unfortunately they play Portugal.
