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

Still have a lot of the drinks to fill in but I think I like the way it's laid out better this time around.

As always, please let me know if you find anything that's not working correctly and more importantly I'm always looking for more drinks to add.  Saves me from googling and just putting the most popular in the list.

ETA - if there is a mixed drink listed, hover over or select the mixed drink image and it gives you the recipe.

Maybe I'll just pretend the U.S. didn't lose to T&T's b-team and put the U.S. drinks in there.
The guy from reddit who made the beer guide, went with Stella (not that Stella) - "a Euro Pale Lager brewed in Giza"

ETA - obviously a non-alcoholic beer

Costa Rica 

Beer: Imperial 

Wine: ?

Liquor: Cacique

Mixed Drink: Chiliguaro https://www.nosara.com/chiliguaro-recipe/

I have a team of about 8 people in CR; I posed the question to them.  While they were unanimous on the beer, there was consensus on the rum, and none of them suggested a wine.... Jose was the only one who was adamant that I include the Chil Guaro cocktail - he even sent me a link in english with a recipe and has been sending me photos and links for the last 10 minutes now  I have always liked Jose. 
Updated - thanks!

 
Argentina beer is easily Quilmes. 

Spirit is Fernet Branca. So popular there taht the Italian company put in a distillery there. They mix it with coke if you want a cocktail. It's not good a mix. And I like Fernet. 

Wine: Malbec
You or somebody else nominated this during the last World Cup - it was definitely in my bottom 5 mixed drinks  :X

Bull####. Fernet cola is great. Drank it all the time in Buenos Aires.

 
Poland makes some really killer mead. 

Probably not get too cute and just go Margarita for Mexico. Palomas are fantastic too. They are making some great wines in Guadalupe valley. 
Jaysus turned me on (to Palomas) last time so will go with that - very tasty drink.

 
Also beat Germany in this cycle.. so I guess we would have won the cup.
We couldn’t take one of the 4 spots in a 6-team pod in what’s likely the worst or second to worst confederation. Let’s cut the crap and just assume the team sucked.

Meh - I think Germany will disappoint this WC.

But, I see question marks for most of the contenders.

Brazil - probably the least questions - Neymar's health seems fine, can they play well in Europe?  Probably.

France - Lloris has been shaky.  I think that will haunt them in the knockout stage.

Spain - seems the team is on edge.  If they can come together in a Steve Fisher kind of way, maybe they have enough to win.

Germany - not really sure, but they seem a level below normal German team standards.

Argentina - only saving grace might be officials who are trying to help Messi in his quest to win a WC

Belgium - its Belgium, and Roberto Martinez.  They will find a way to disappoint.

England - its full of Spurs, and they can't win anything amirite?  :hifive:

Portugal - CR7 and the 10 (old) dwarves  Spanish turmoil gives Portugal a chance to win the group with an early win over Spain, but they won't go far.
 

Uruguay might be the sneaky dark horse pick.

 
Action junkie “I’ll be at the bar” bets: 

Total Over 1.5 -155 

Russia wins 2-0 +350

Russia wins 2-1 +800

Nonscoring shot hits post/crossbar +125

 
:thumbup:  Didn’t really get the fishing impression there. 
I wasn't fishing. The team totally ####ed up qualifying, but is still capable of making a run in this kind of competetion and beating anybody in the world... If the winds blowing the right way. That's what we won't get to see and hope for... for another four and a half years. As a fan- and the US is the only team I live and die for as a fan- it's the worst. Not a "move on" situation and not helped by "they suck, move on" comments. Also I feel like ####- sick as a dog, so that's not helping my mood.

This is true, look at the last World Cup, if wondo doesn’t punt the ball out of the stadium from 1 yard out.

I am sure France is having the same discussion of how they tie a USA b team.
