[Mohonky]

Australian here, we dont even deserve to be there.

Watch us successfully score our way through a disappointing 2 draws and a loss.

 

[KevinKeene]

Expecting lots of drama with Germany, for various reasons :/

 

[Mohonky]

If England cant make it out of their group they should be banned from 3 world cups.

 

[God Enel]

Croatian here.

AJMOOOOOOO we wont get far this time but honestly I don't give a fuck. Will be in Russia watching a game and have fun.

 

[Azio]

Saudi, here.
We will make it to the final!
Or maybe to the semi final!
Probably to the quarter from final!
No?

Okay, at Least I will enjoy the WC :/



BTW.. Why there are only 5 posts in here?

 

[TrainedRage]

USA.... USA....US....... wait....

Russia, Japan and Morocco I give you my power!

 

[Scopa]

Yeah, I’m not looking forward to watching Australia play. Such a terrible squad.

Who knows, maybe Arzani can light it up and drag us through the group stage?

 

[Dunki]

Expecting lots of drama with Germany, for various reasons :/

I honestly hope so Özil and Gündogan should have not be allowed to play since they did not even apologized for this. Hope fans will be as vicious there as they were against Saudi Arabia.
Otherwise I hope for an exciting World Cup may the best Team win. That or Japan XD

Back when Effenberg was suspended in not even 24hours for 4 years and here the DFB does nothing.

 

[Halfman The Imp]

Well done OP, we needed this thread

Good luck at the opening game.

Here in México, we are expecting the worst against Germany. I hope the goal difference wouldn't be that big

 

[KevinKeene]

German media talks as if Mexico will be a super hard opponent , so: I don't believe you, Halfman The Imp!

Well, Mexico couldn't win a friendly match against the Welsh National Team (and Gareth Bale didn't played)... so I don't know

 

[Dunki]

We almost lost against Saudi Arabia. I think you have good chances.

 

[Halfman The Imp]

USA.... USA....US....... wait....

Russia, Japan and Morocco I give you my power!

Yeah, it's sad the USA couldn't made it to the World Cup. It's always good for CONCACAF as a whole when the USA National Team is competitive

 

[WinterIsComing]

Let's go CR, your goal is to come home after Messi.

Oh btw no, I disagree. Any fans STILL booing Gündigan and özil should go fuck off. The thing is over, now it's all about the world cup. Support your team or stay home.

Such ridiculous drama.

t never is o will be over for most people as long they do nto get what they want. Either an honest apology which they never gave just a I did not know it was a bad thing" or they stand to their präsident and have to live with the consequences. You can not suspend someone like Effenberg for 4 years for a middlefinger and then just let this go.

[KevinKeene]

Typical everyday German Jugend

 

[womfalcs3]

I'll be supporting Saudi, and they're in a manageable group. Uruguay is a given to advance. If Mohammed Salah plays for Egypt, then it is a toss-up between Saudi and Egypt for the second spot. If he doesn't, it will be Saudi. Russia is a token.

That said, I think Brazil will win.

 

[Rekwest]

Lets go Saudi!

 

[Dunki]

Man German has barely won against Saudi Arabia and Russia is destroying them. I have not much hope for the German Team.

 

[WinterIsComing]

Good start by Russia

 

[TTOOLL]

Somebody gif Putin at the last goal please

 

[Dunki]

Germany Suadi Arabia not even a week ago 2:1
Russia Saudi Arabia 5:0

This was a great start for this WM.

 

[Azio]

5 posts
5 goals
What next?

 

[longdi]

Asian teams are so shit, physically tiny, short legs. Lol

 

[MDSLKTR]

Red Dawn bitches

 

[Mr Hyde]

Sweden has a tough group. South Korea on Monday feels like a must win. The Germans will probably run us over and Mexico seems pretty good too. We were strong in the playoffs but I don´t have much hope here. I´m just glad we actually made it to the tournament.

 

[newtypepilot]

was it any surprise Russia would win in their first match on opening day??

 

[GoldenEye98]

No, but 5-0 was a surprise.

 

[ThatStupidLion]

[Halfman The Imp]

Putin is the Meme's Czar

 

[womfalcs3]

Saudi looked amateurish yesterday. Disgraceful.

 

[God Enel]

Saudi looked amateurish yesterday. Disgraceful.

Wait until they expand the World Cup to 48 teams. Then you will watch real amateur shit like Tibet - Andorra (no offense)

 

[Hazzard4life]

COME ON EGYPT!!!!!!!

 

[WinterIsComing]

Ouch, close match.

 

[Azio]

Saudi looked amateurish yesterday. Disgraceful.

Exactly

 

[cormack12]

Hoping this is a good game now.

 

[Insane Metal]

LOL Spain.

 

[cormack12]

Great goal by Costa that

 

[GoldenEye98]

This is a pretty great game so far

 

[GoldenEye98]

What a match. Ronaldo clearly angry at Spain for the tax penalties

 

[dudeforce93]

As usual Penaldo gets lucky, he barely did anything except get lucky! Spain should have won but Pique had to go full retard!

 

[Makariel]

Wow, fantastic game between Spain and Portugal hope we see more like that the next few days...

 

[longdi]

One penalty, one drop ball and one good free kick.
Messi miss a 1-1 with Neur, miss the last free kick in ET and miss a penalty shootout
I guess the difference between Messi, CR7 delivers while doing next to nothing.

Tomorrow is Messi turn to score hat-trick, these 2 old fucks finally bringing their club competition to their last WC.

 

[TrainedRage]

Wow, fantastic game between Spain and Portugal hope we see more like that the next few days...

That game was amazing.
Messi has some work to do tomorrow to out shine Ronaldo's performance.
