The Football (Soccer) Thread - Season 2017/2018

No they won’t.

FIFA will continue being out of touch with both (reasonable) people and reality.

Exactly. The clock not stopping doesn’t mean play doesn’t stop. “Injury time” is bullshit anyway; why not just STOP THE FUCKING CLOCK?

Anywho, Portugal vs. Spain. I’d like to see Portugal win, not just because my family’s Portuguese and it would put them in a good mood for a while but because Portugal’s flag shits all over most other flags in terms of design.

Dr. B shoots on target corner kicks around the world. Like, the ball goes around Earth before hitting net.

I have the feeling they are just saying it to shut everybody up. Come July they’ll still reject the idea.

Spain Portugal about to start, this should be a memoriable game. The only thing that could ruin this game is the referee :mad:

FIFA improve ref? I will believe it when it actually happens.

It’s like a vicious cycle.

  1. World Cup!
  2. Some team get screwed by ref
  3. Fan, team, media raging over FIFA
  4. FIFA and it’s ‘It’s part of the game speech’
  5. More raging from #3
  6. FIFA do the ‘promise this promise that speech’, trust us! ref will be better!!
  7. No meaningful improvement really happened, back to #1

3-1 Spain, with Portugal getting a player sent off in the second half.

Japan :frowning: Now Paraguay will go on to lose to whoever. Japan really exhibited some beautiful work up in the front of the pitch, I really enjoyed watching them go to work. Oh well, as always, fuck Portugal.

We’ll see if those snipers return :rofl:

Don’t you say the same shit about the NBA?

How lucky was that!! I need a change of underwear lol

i need spain to win damnit. lol though it seems portugal has a better chance against brazil lol.

GOAAAAAAL!!! :rock:

Did Reynaldo give them that ball back?? lol

lol I feel sorry for Portugal running around in circles chasing the ball :rofl:

portugal is straight trying to murder spain. 187 on the field.

What was that!?!? :rofl: Took a note right out of Cristiano’s playbook.

2nd camera angle showed he was hit by his elbow =/

No dice on the first, but you got the jackpot.

I love me some Ronaldo tears.

lol Spainish substition 30seconds into the 92nd minute of 3minutes extra time. Man I hate that shit.

1 red card bad ending to what was an entertaining game

Villa and Ramos were beastly today. Let’s hope they give Cesc some play time against Paraguay.

Was a great passing game from Spain, bit of a lucky goal but with their possession it was going to happen sooner or later. Portugal played defensive up to and after the goal, had about 30 seconds of attacking pressure in the whole game, too bad they didn’t bring on Ronaldo, oh he was on the whole game >_>?

Red card was easy to guess, Portugal are always acting like little bitches, although rarely a team actually gives them a run for their money ([media=youtube]D2oebtN21HE&feature=related[/media].)

Mugs putting shit music on every youtube video these days, do not want.
