How many goals in front of France do we need to be on 90 minutes going into stoppage time to be able to remotely relax?

 

3/4?  

 

7. No less. And I still wouldn't relax until 10 minutes after full time expecting a late VAR call.

[PaB]

I despise both sides. They are both on the edge of properly losing their shit. And there’s a real possibility of a mass brawl at the end.  Whoever loses, i win, it’s great. 

[englishbob]

Yeah got to be a red by the end of it.

 

Refs been random but Argentina are a handful

[feltmonkey]

The Netherlands are shit at penalties, remember. They will probably need to score again.

 

 

[Fierce Poodle]

This is liquid football 

[Stig]

Argentina are and have always been shithouses. All those cyclical fouls and dives added all that time on and they paid the price. Good.

[Harrisown]

Argentina can have all the talent in the world but when they are dirty as that they deserve no respect.

England will breeze past France, you all don’t need to sweat it.

[milko]

These two teams are going to hate each other for years after this, i hope they’re drawn together in 2026.

[Hamus]

It seems everyone hates everyone in this thread. And the England team too!

 

Maybe enjoy some things guys. I was rooting for Argentina, but happy we've got another 30 mins.

 

Because for some of you there are only a few games left to watch teams and people you despise 😆

 

[Ork1927]

It could still be the Messi or the Mbappe or the Bellingham or the Ronaldo World Cup but maybe it will be the Weghorst World Cup.

When it's Athletico Madrid it's amrite tho, amrite, rite?

[Fierce Poodle]

Messi to blast one over in the shootout. Calling it now.

Weggy Worldy. Would be Wonderful.

[Ork1927]

Do you think, like in grounds up and down the country every weekend/mid week, people  just leave these World Cup games early, regardless of the score, to get ahead of the traffic even when they are in the middle of nowhere in Qatar.

 

How much drama would you have missed.

The Netherlands have been so ineffective in attack in 'normal' play that the Croatians are probably having a out-of-body experience thinking it is them playing again.

[JamesTW]

I still cant believe they attempted that in the 100th minute, what a goal but big bollocking if they fucked up

[Superfamifreak]

Nice to see a free kick going against them that bore a striking resemblance to the Zanetti one in 98!

He’s on loan at Besiktas. Their chairman was quoted earlier in the season as saying they’ve talked about a permanent fee but it’s only Burnley so they will definitely get him cheaper.

 

What’s the Turkish for “good luck with that”?

I love everyone in this thread. We're experiencing this together.

 

I will not feel the same tomorrow if we lose to France and the Scottish posters suddenly decide to randomly log on.

What you on about ? We’re loving it. Brazil out, Holland and Argentina kicking the shit out of each other and one of them is going to lose. 
 

I can’t talk about England . Too nervous because I keep seeing us in the final.

To be fair I did think when they lined up that it was on . In fifa that would be a nailed on tactic

[Superfamifreak]

118th minute, Weghorst hat trick, takes his shirt off celebrating and gets a second yellow.

[englishbob]

BBC commentary team constant tossing of Messi's salad is cringeworthy

It's going to be the worst World Cup semi-final ever, whichever team gets through.

 

In one half the draw we have the chance of

France-Portugal - Mbappe versus the stationary Ronaldo

England-Portugal - Loads of players versus the stationary Ronaldo

France-Morocco - an insane amount of African support

England-Morocco - an insane amount of African support

 

In this half we have Croatia playing for penalties and the Argentinian / Netherland teams of thugs.

[Fierce Poodle]

How many times did that cunt roll

Today's two quarter finals have been great entertainment though all in

[Fierce Poodle]

What are the Netherlands playing at, they should have leathered the Argies while they were on top.

[the_debaser]

0 minutes of added time at the end of that extra time.  Ref is just making it up as he goes along. 

[spork]

If this goes to penalties it’s hard to see Netherlands going through, they just seem to have an air of an England team in the 2000s.
