    [WC] World Cup 2018 - General Talk Thread

    @DAiDEViL and our German friends. Ozil is arguably more German than Dele Alli and Raheem Sterling are English; Zlatan Ibrahimovic Swedish; and Thierry Henry French. Yet no one ever refers to them as anything other than English, Swedish or French - and nor do they themselves. Is there something...

    Well ... although I agree with what Hoeness said, people in glass houses probably shouldn't throw stones. The majority of the failed German NT are Bayern players. Just sayin'.

    Özil is clearly a foolish man, happy to adopt double standards when it suits his agenda, and probably as an attempt to divert attention from his pathetic level of application on a football pitch. On the one hand he talks about disliking being referred to as a German-Turkish, and on the other...

    If he concentrated on playing football instead of being a whiny little prick then both Arsenal and German NT might have done a bit better.

    Social media attention whores. Gotta get those retweets and likes.

    That's not official. Why? 1. FIFA didn't even publish a Team of the Tournament in 2014, and there's no indication they will this time. 2. Lloris in goal. He didn't win the OFFICIAL Golden Glove. 3. It's not on the FIFA website. 4. No other reputable website or Twitter accounts (e.g. club teams...

    Of course. Can't disagree there. Just saying that rules aren't the solution to everything. They're always going to be open to interpretation. So, I do think the players hold some responsibilities. As do the coaches, clubs and the paying customers (the fans) as they all hold influence.

    Our modern legal system has been in place in much of Europe for 1,000 years. That's 1,000 years of rule-making to make sure everyone behaves. And yet they still don't. If the some of the finest minds of the past millenia haven't been able to modify behaviour through rule-making, then what...

    Getting fed up of all this hate, man. There's a massive difference between delusion and arrogance, and just enjoying the moment. Fucks sake. P.S. Go France!

    Um. No. They should just delete this pointless 3rd place game. We've already had one England B v Belgium B game. Do we need another?

    Well. That was a disappointment. Should have put Croatia to the sword in the first half, 3-0 at HT wasn’t unreasonable given the way both teams were playing in the first 45. But, congrats to the Croats, they kept plugging away, dug in, and eventually took control by pushing our 3-5-2 into a...

    Good luck for the game. My guess is that you are not going to enjoy it and will be a complete nervous wreck until the final whistle goes. At which point, I hope you and Belgium get the chance to experience something new and amazing: GETTING TO A WORLD CUP FINAL! This generation of your players...

    Maybe next year is Arsenal's year @Fred. Given how many of their competitors' players aren't getting a preseason. England - France final would be great as the captain lifting the cup will be one of our boys (Lloris or Kane). Wouldn't mind Belgium either as that'll be 8 in the final. Croatia...

    Zlatan vs Beckham England win: Ibra has to watch England play at Wembley in a England shirt and eat fish and chips at half-time. Sweden win: Beckham buys whatever Ibrahomvic wants from Ikea, and takes him out to dinner. Becks' forfeit is nowhere near as bad...
