Football World Cup - Russia 2018

[Reynard]

Aaaaargh, that's what Brazil can do, even when they're not playing well. Can Serbia pick themselves up? They've had chances...

Brazil back to the top of the group, Switzerland second.

Did someone say it's France we now have to cheer on to dispatch Argentina?

Yes, France v Argentina on Saturday.

Oh dear, Neymar auditioning for the RSC again... I hate that sort of thing.

He really is a rather unlikable article.

I know many players do it to a greater or lesser degree, but find him (in my limited knowledge) to be particularly objectionable. He's absolutely shameless.

I don't care much for him either.

Thing is, it's just irritating and unnecessary and doesn't endear him to football fandom in general.

Well, half time in both games, with both currently at 1-0.

Brazil lead the group from Switzerland on goal difference.

 

[Tin Pot]

Excellent game so far, all attacking play. Some beauty from Brazil, great skill from Paulinho for the goal.

Yeah, good game, but if Kolarov hadn't bloopered, it'd probably still be 0-0. But if the chance is there...

Owwww, Ian Wright's shirt is hurting my eyes.

I'm sure that worries him as he counts his £537,000 (after tax) a week wages.

No, that's not a mistake.

£537,000 a week.

After tax.

Urgh... Waste of money as well as waste of space.

 

[Reynard]

Anyways, we're back underway in both games.

 

[Reynard]

Serbia having a good spell of possession and are causing the brazilians a wee bit of trouble. That was almost a brazil own goal there.

But then Brazil, being them, break, but good save by Stojkovic.

 

[Reynard]

1-1 now in the other game.

Doesn't change anything in the group as yet. Unless Serbia score, and then they go second at the expense of the Swiss.

 

[Reynard]

Another defensive c**k up in the brazilian penalty area. Serbia are looking dangerous on the break...
