Arena The *Official* 2018 FIFA World Cup Thread

Damn you greasy one.

 

Für all the irritating stuff, he is sublimely talented.

 

One of the worst matches I've ever seen on TV. Terrible passing and ball control, nobody could keep possession, and some of the most ridiculous acting injured rolling around on the ground. Every 2 or 3 minutes someone was lying on the floor screaming like their legs had been broken. Iran were shocking going forward. There was no way they were going to score a goal, fantastic diving header by the Moroccan chap to score the own goal for them. And now Iran are top of the group?

 

That game was fantastic.

 

Go Australia!

 

Why is paint drying on my television?

 

Didier DesChump

And you should try listening in the radio

 

Yeah it’s the kind of game that makes you sympathetic to football hooligans

 

VAR comes to the World Cup.

I'm audio only. Legit penalty?

 

Yep

 

Yeah slight touch of the foot and didn’t get the ball. As an Aussie I hate it but the replay shows right decision

 

Aussies given a pen

 

Seems a bit too inconclusive to be 100% sure.

And the ref should be 100% sure.
He didn't give a penalty first time.

Now he's given one to Australia & still checks he got it right.

 

Jedinak skipper goes bang 1-1

 

That's why VAR exists

 

If it was given for handball by Umiti, isn't that a red card?

 

Umtiti got inspired by Boateng (2016) there.

 

Too good pogba

 

Damn it! Still 1:2 isn't bad. Glad it wasn't a blowout.

 

Well if we play like we did tonight in the other two games we have a chance

Lots of ppl saying France’s pen was soft personally thought it was there as much as it hurt

 

Hope y'all had a better feed of commentary than me. Tony Meola noted they this "might feel like a loss for Australia" as the game went final, just a few minutes after he called West Germany one of the favorites.

 

I can only hope so

 

Did George Lucas name the Aussie goal scorer? Mile Jedinak !
