Football World Cup - Russia 2018

[Levo-Lon]

It's not that exciting a thread!

multitasking ..its why we love them

 

[Tin Pot]

Not at all, I was working

I am struggling to think of a single context where use of the word "yid" could be considered appropriate

It's in the same garbage pile as all the other derogatory words used to describe a particular race/nationality/religion

I’ve been where you’re going with this about twenty years ago - for some inexplicable reason it’s okay in the context of Chelsea, at least according to the Jewish football fans I knew at the time <shrug> Just sayin’, not defending.

 

[Reynard]

ok, iceland v nigeria, here we go!

 

[Wixsteman]

I think I’ll opt for Iceland, so Nigeria will probably win

 

[Reynard]

good early set piece from iceland, saved, corner.

 

[Reynard]

good chance for sigurdsson, but straight at the keeper

 

[Reynard]

Right, that's the bread done - back to two-handed typing

And we've got a mexican wave going!

 

[Reynard]

Bright wee game here, if a bit scrappy.

 

[Reynard]

Ouch!!! Victor Moses gets one in the ribcage - shot deflected for a corner.

 

[Reynard]

A watchable game, but both teams lacking just that little bit of "something".

Could this be our first 0-0 25 games into the tournament?

 

[Reynard]

Ooooh, that was close... Almost 1-0 Iceland.

Nigeria are struggling with the set-pieces.

 

[Reynard]

Free header off an Iceland corner, but wide

 

[Reynard]

And that, ladies and gents, is half time.

 

[Joey Shabadoo]

yawn

Trivia fact of the day (game).

Icelandic telephone directories list Icelanders by first name alphabetically.

And there are about 350,000 of them.
