FIFA WORLD CUP 2018?

[TianaStam]

Spain 1 Russia 0. I doubt that Spain is going to become a winner of the cup, but as a winner of the current match I'm sure. Even home town walls and huge team of fans will not be able to safe Russian team from loose.

Guys do you think Cristiano Ronaldo and Leo Messi met at the airport on the way home? They could have even taken the same flight lol. Wouldn't that be very awkward?  I am wondering if Diego Maradona will stay in Russia till the final or he is also leaving now that Argentina have been knocked out of the tourney.

I don't think so. Maybe they coincided in the airport but they definitely didn't take the same flight, I think teams have individual planes.

Messi and Ronaldo are prolly somewhere playing a PS4 FIFA game, Argentina vs Portugal (pretending to be the WC final, no doubt).  Lmao.  

I wonder who would win...  I think Messi looks like he's good at video games.

HT Spain 1 - 1 Russia   

That first half was awful. Russia jusr parking the bus with a very clear gameplan: "long ball Dzyuba and see what happens", great tactics. Then you have Spain with the ball possession at almost 80% but they are unable to get past the Russian defensive wall so it's just boring watching them pass the ball all the time. And finally, the goals, an own goal (an amazing backheel goal, tbh), and a penalty. Hopefully, the 2nd half can deliver some exciting stuff.

[P_percy]

Belgium and Uruguay are my best bates 😎

[Wendigo]

Spain have around 80% possession and over 1000 passes and still can't make any dangerous attacks lol. This slow tiki-taka style of play is old and boring and Spain are absolutely toothless on the attack. I think if Spain somehow manage to defeat Russia they will have a very hard time vs a more potent team in the quarter-finals. Penalties are coming 

[Taki]

Unbelievable! Who would think! Russia is the first time in the history among 8 the best teams in the world! My team in who's win I even didn't believe today. Sorry guys! What a surprise!!?

[TrumpD]

What an interesting first game today. Congratulations to the host Nation for going through on penalties. One thing is clear from Russia and Uruguay is that a solid defense will take you far in this tournament, as long as you can nullify wave after wave of attack. The world cup has a lot big names out, this feels like one for the underdog as the days close in.

[hahay]

This world cup is very funny for me, why? starting from Germany the defending champion, has fallen in the phase of elimination and after entering the knockout phase we can see the big country in the world of football that has a lot of star players in it began to fall one by one. Lol

They had those ridiculous statistics but still failed to even score a goal...against fucking Russia...pathetic performance from Spain. They were shit in the group stages, and they were shit today.

Germany, Argentina, Portugal, Spain...this WC has been...wow!

Now Russia will pay against Croatia or Denmark in the QF...I can totally see them in the semis

As i said before this game is unpredictable, the problem is not about how good is the Russian team but how the Spanish team will play.
The performance of Spain years ago isn't the same as now, just like Argentina and Germany...
Congratulations for your country and now let's focus on the next game between Croatie > Danemark.

[iv4n]

Belgium and Uruguay are my best bates 😎

Uruguay is playing great, Suarez and Kavano are duo that can win this championship. Belgians also plays good football, I believe they will have easy win against Japan and they will play with Brazil probably, there will be no surprises here.
Russians defeated Spain on penalties, nice win and for me that's a surprise, Spain had many chances but that wasn't enough for the win.
Very interesting game is tonight, Croatia vs Denmark. Croatia has a better team I believe, but Denmark will not surrender easily, they have some chances.

The funny thing is that De Gea didn't manage to save 1 shot while Akinfeev stopped 2. Maybe the Russians just got lucky who knows, but to have maybe the best goalkeeper in the world and to not be able to stop 1 penalty shot. Just wow  The manager situation in the Spanish team might have played a part in their failure? I bet the party will be going all night and a lot of vodka will be drunk tonight in Russia

Home team advantage, it always happen to the home team. Some player just cant handle all the pressure from the home team fans thats why some player are badly performed in the match. I dont want to blame de gea for it but rather the 10 other players on the field. Their inability to score within 120 minutes is just pretty much questionable for me

[pereira4]

Russia was the inferior team clearly, by a long shoot. They just were stuck in the defense lines with 11 men there camping all the time, but Spain wasn't too bright this time, they didn't know how to react to a team that is doing nothing, and unfortunately for them luck wasn't on their side, because it's been just luck. If Pique didn't put his hand there in a stupid way, the match would have ended 1-0 and Spain would be on quarter finals.

This is a very strange World Cup, all the big names are already our except brazil france and england.

Cristiano Ronaldo refused to talk about his future after his country's exit from the World Cup final against Uruguay on Saturday.
Ronaldo broke his silence about his football future but replied vaguely: "This is not the time to talk about my future."

There are many conversations about Ronaldo's survival with Real Madrid or even his retirement from international football after he reached the age of 33 years.

Ronaldo said he was proud of the team he plays for the Portuguese side, saying the team was not worthy of defeat and exclusion from the World Cup.

Uruguay beat Portugal 2-1 in the final of the World Cup to leave the captain of Portugal and his country the tournament, which scored four goals.

Ronaldo said it was those who scored more goals who win ahead of Uruguay

I cant't believe Florentino said that he may let Cristiano go for $120 million, absolutely cheap, we are talking about a world class 5 golden ball player that even if he is starting to become old in football teams, doesn't apply to him because he is still in top shape. This clown is going to let Ronaldo go and pay a bunch of money for Neymar which is insanely overrated, unbelievable.

The problem with Spain is that their game is built around having a killer player (Messi or Ronaldo) because all of their teams come from Barca or Real, and this year they didn't have this killer scoring machine. Isco is good but not enough for that. Someone like David Villa or Torres in his prime years is what they are lacking. Costa is a good 9 but I think not as fast and explosive.

[babygun]

Haha Spain is also already going home. Another bad match of them and they were not really motivated to do anything.
Congrats to Russia for reaching the quarter final, but this will be the end station for them  .

[btcdevil]

All the big names team Are out of FIFA 2018 and now england and Brazil are remained. Croatia match is also draw first half, hope that Croatia win this match and go for quarter final

It's really unbelievable. I don't know its because of the Russia's home team advantage or not but this world cup is continuing to suprise me.

These surprises nothing new because we have many like these in past now just few teams left in this competition I am sure we have some good matches left in coming days as now Denmark doing good job and Croatia is hungry for one more goal but look like this is also going in extra time love to have Croatia in next round

[Pab]
