***Official*** 2018 World Cup thread (and Drinking Guide) (1 Viewer)

And Lingard misses his 40th shot of this tournament.  As a player he has had the worst WC I've seen in quite a while.
He's another I don't get the love for.  He isn't a goal scorer despite his brief scoring run this past season and a nice goal earlier in the tourney.  His vision and passing is poor, he constantly makes the wrong run getting in teammates way. He is a hard worker with a good attitude so I get why coaches like him.  But to me he is a squad/rotational guy and not someone that should be starting every game. 

Unlike a certain  :fro: though, I would not sell him.

 
If you have one team wearing White with Red uniforms, and the other wearing Black with Red Uniforms, why are the refs wearing Red shirts and black shorts? Shouldn't they be wearing neon yellow/green or orange or something to set them apart? Or do thy just want to fit in fashionably?

 
I say it every four years, but I really need to give soccer some more of my time.  The emotion of this tournament is really fun.

Forgive me if others have said this, but is it the tourney that gets us excited? Kinda like the NCAA BB Tournament, or The Majors in Golf or playoffs in most other sports?  I don't watch much day to day sports (except NFL) but something about playoffs that makes it more exciting!!

 
Booked a table at the local Brit place for Sunday about 10 minutes before that Croatia goal. It truly knows no bounds.

It is hard to replicate knock out games.  Something about win or go home in any sport is awesome.

No, I think it's the emotion of soccer.  I used to be the "offsides is so stupid" guy and think that the sport was stupid.  But I got tired of hearing people say that it's boring there are too few shots on goal and the games are 2-1 all the time.  a 14-7 NFL game is a 2-1 game.  Granted not entirely the same but still.... 

The fact that it seems like the shots are all so important and so stressful and so damn skillful to put together..... yeah, I haven't given this game enough love.  Having said all that - the country against country for ultimate bragging rights certainly adds some do or die excitement to it.
