[Andreas_AFC]

To be honest, i am not a friend of this Cup. For me it's just another way for FIFA to take money. Added to this is the allegedly limited press freedom in Russia that foreign media can only report on the sport ... If that really is so, it just is not my world. At the end maybe i look games from germany or when Alexis play...but in the end this cup is useless.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on Alexis.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-0 FT. On to ET, another Portugal shitfest.

[GP]

Portugal are a bunch of shitheads.

[Niall_Quinn]

Video officials are from Uzbekistan and Saudi Arabia. Which explains everything.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vidal is dead, ish.

[Niall_Quinn]

That's 2 reds Portugal should have been shown, plus the penalty. The officials are working overtime to get the right result here.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vidal hits the post, Rodriguez hits the bar!

[Niall_Quinn]

WTF?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

On to pelanties. :sick:

[Niall_Quinn]

FT great win for Chile. Well deserved.

But the officials changed the score to 0-0, so on to penalties.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Stone Cold penalty says Hasselbaink. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vidal first up.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vidal smashes it in, 1-0.

Come on Portugal, fuck it up before Ronaldo gets to take the fifth.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Quaresma has it saved!

Bravo made a save!!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Aranguiz makes it 2-0. :cloud9:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Moutinho up.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Moutinho has it saved!!

:haha:

Ronaldo. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on Alexis!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

ALEXIS!!!! 3-0.

:haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nani to fuck it up.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Absolutely ridiculous from Nani, Zaza tribute!!! :haha:

Pelanty shootout ends 3-0. :haha:

Chile through. :bow:

Ronaldo. :haha:

[Niall_Quinn]

3 shittiest pens ever? :haha:

[Niall_Quinn]

Surely they are going to let Ronaldo take his pen? He'll have practised in from of the mirror for months. Poor sod.

[GP]

Absolutely ridiculous. If he's the main man, make him take the first one.

Glory hunting wanker.

[Globalgunner]

Worlds greatest as ever fails to step up when needed.

[Niall_Quinn]

Jimmy Floyd mentioning how obvious a signing Vidal should be for any PL club.

[Marc Overmars]

Alexis. :bow:

[Andreas_AFC]

@ GP: Absolutly right! The best player has to take the first penalty! Trust me....i am german, if we know something , than it is to win penalty shoot outs :beer:

[Marc Overmars]

Your best taker should always be first. Unless your best taker is a glory hunting narcissist.

[Globalgunner]

Your best taker should always be first. Unless your best taker is a glory hunting narcissist.

You guys have to take it easy with Ronaldo. Word on the grapevine is that he is expecting twins. You cant take a pen when you`re pregnant.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Germany won yesterday 1-0.

Alexis missed a sitter in the first half.

Also, VAR could've worked but they somehow allowed referees to get hold of that two. Naturally they gave a yellow for a straight, blatant elbow. :doh:
