World Cup 2018

[Blue in Munich]

Seems a perfect use of VAR - ref couldn’t see it so VAR have asked him to look at it and give his judgement - it looks like the arm has batted the ball down and away , seems a penalty

Looking at it again it seems a judgement call but does that mean then it’s not “clear and obvious” so it shouldn’t be given because of that ?

Are you still a touch upset that Croatia knocked out England hence the clear bias towards France or should I say against Croatia

Griezmann clearly dived , they should have looked at the Mandzukic incident and that penalty shouldn’t have been given if going by the strict guidelines of VAR[/QUOTE]

Decision time Phil, which is it... :rofl:

 

[PJ87]

First goal they deserve of the 3 so far

Wonder what Utd fan are thinking of this Pogba - it’s the one they paid £90 mil for

So why can’t he do it for them on a consistent basis - is it the manager or the Prem and he struggles the get the space

Nay lad... have no time for sides that play 'old LUFC style' when they have the skill to better.

Both those decisions were correct IMO & the ref's ……. think you may have your pink glasses on.

France walking it now!!! Will Lovran last the 90 is the big ask now

 

[PhilTheFragger]

It’s probably a good thing we didn’t make it to the final
Couldn’t face being humiliated by France, coz they’d have done us good n proper.

I'd say it's the manager ....................... but I am a bit biased. :thup:

What exactly was Lloris doing there? Croatia were dead and buried before that.

 

[Lord Tyrion]

Keepers are not covering themselves in glory. 4th goal was soft, lloris has had a mare.

 

[pendodave]

Spuds will be spuds. If only there were more in the French team...

As for pogba, I have every sympathy for the poor blighter playing under Maureen, he must feel like he's on day release.

Not for me, his balance was just in completely the wrong place.

 

[Lord Tyrion]

Not for me, his balance was just in completely the wrong place.

Which is why it was soft, imo.

 

[2blue]

France sitting back too much now... Modric beginning to take hold.... cum'on our neighbours... keep them out :whoo:

 

[2blue]

I guess that was Grisman diving again,eh?
Winners are little better than at least half a doz other sides if they made it through.... happy its not the Cro's though... play like LUFC of old, so like them get nowt!!

 

[Kellfire]

Easily the best and most consistent team across the whole tournament and all whilst carrying Giroud!

Very much deserved.

The tactical cam behind the goal showed why balance was off took half a step the wrong way to try and see around the best defender in the world......

Great World Cup - probably the best one since Euro 96....!! 😉

Thoroughly deserved winners in France - played some great football; and who'd have thought you'd see so many Frenchmen committed to attacking in Russia? Finally will be able to retreat from Moscow with their heads held high!! 😂😂

And let's face it - what a great Mbappe will be when he adds some of Raheem's skill and technique to his game!

Finally on France; Giroud cementing his place quite rightly among to top 5 strikers in the world......and highlighting just how far ahead of his time Emile Heskey was!!

Ah and England, good old England, a team lacking in - let's be honest - flair and creativity, but compensating massively with youthful verve, exuberance, and a touch of sartorial elegance, thrilled and delighted a nation! And gave us the chance to once again feel proud in acting smug, arrogant and superior.....especially to those pesky Scots, Welsh and Irish!! 😉😂😂😂

But ultimately Russia 2018 will be fondly remembered for the goals, the incredible matches, and the tournament where the minnows stole the limelight. It also gave us VAR and the most sexist tv cameramen ever!

But ultimately it unfortunately couldn't provide every Englishman's greatest desire. No not a World Cup final, a win and 'It's Coming Home' breaking the record for most weeks at No.1 in the singles chart, but the death of Diego live!!

Oh well, roll on Qatar 2020!!

Definitely having the flair and talent we've seen in the WC sucked dry by Mourinho

 

[Pin-seeker]

Unlucky Lovren 😂
Greatest defender of all time apparently 🙈

Like Bendtner was the greatest striker 😂

 

[USER1999]

Like Bendtner was the greatest striker 😂

Best ever, until Kane came along.

Big fish, small pond.

Very small pond. Needs to move to a big club to prove himself, or will forever be a Spurs legend.

Whatever that means.
