Football World Cup - Russia 2018

[Smokin Joe]

Unbelievably the co commentator Jermain Whatshisname reckons that was not a penalty. It was a stone bonker, Mascherano was practically having sex with the guy.

Sorry it was the same month the final was the 29th of June 1986.

I remember it well.

 

[AndyRM]

Absolutely no composure from Argentina. What a shambles.

 

[Reynard]

I remember it well.

So do I... Not least for having a BBQ in the garden while listening to the final on the radio. (Didn't have a TV at the time). I remember wanting West Germany to win because of the "hand of god" incident.

 

[Reynard]

Absolutely no composure from Argentina. What a shambles.

But they're still dangerous. Nigeria can't afford to lose concentration.

 

[Reynard]

In the mean time, Iceland have a penalty in the other game... (handball)

1-1

 

[Stephenite]

Great! Well deserved.

 

[Reynard]

Oh man, how did Ighalo miss that?

 

[Joey Shabadoo]

They're going to have to do something about refs getting mobbed by players demanding a VAR review. Maybe something similar to rugby.

 

[AndyRM]

But they're still dangerous. Nigeria can't afford to lose concentration.

You think so? They look devoid of direction and ideas to me.

 

[Reynard]

You think so? They look devoid of direction and ideas to me.

Well, it's more because you never know exactly what they're going to do next...

 

[Reynard]

Well, it's more because you never know exactly what they're going to do next...

Just like that...

2-1 Argentina.

 

[Joey Shabadoo]

Oh what a good goal!

 

[smutchin]

Diego’s woken up!

 

[Reynard]

Feel sorry for Nigeria. Can they pick themselves back up and nab an equaliser?

But they were running out of steam and sitting back. Which is kinda asking for trouble. They'll be rueing those missed chances earlier.
