2018 World Cup

Is the English guy who married the Spice Girl playing this year? And if he is, who is he playing for?

I'll ask my dad.

It'll have to wait until I give him a call on Father's Day. If I send him email, there's a chance that he'll start sending me retarded right-wing political articles for a while after.

Portugal-Spain is at noon eastern today. that should be a good match; they hate eachother.

not many other very intriguing ones in the group stage of this World Cup.

Think you mean 2pm eastern....

Maybe the pregame starts at noon

oh yeah, you're right. It shows up as 1pm central for me, and I subtracted instead of adding an hour for eastern.

When does Poland play? I don't know how good their team is; the Group they're in is - on paper at least - pretty balanced.

since I'm more or less half Polish ancestry (allegedly that side of my family had some some German mixed in from a great-great grandparent or two, but by the 20th century were all culturally Polish, spoke Polish etc), I guess that will be my team going forward.

Albanian-Swiss players fined for taunting Serbia with their national emblem in Switzerland's win (link)

article also has video of a previously suspended friendly between Albanian and Serbia, that ended in a riot when someone flew a drone carrying an Albanian banner into the stadium.

GRADE A trolling idea.

So far Uruguay, Russia, Spain and Portugal are all through to the knockout round.

Russia got crushed by Uruguay.

If you can watch the highlights from today's games, you should do it. Quality of play was through the roof today.

I hate Suarez, can't root for a cannibal not named Hannibal.

I was rooting for Belgium, Sweden, and Denmark at the start. I'm down to two.

 

[Michchamp]

I forgot Suarez played for them.

what an idiot.


I still want them to win though. he hasn't bit anybody in a while. I'm pretty sure

Yes, the Congo/Morocco game vs Japan was exciting.

Is place of birth not enough in your opinion? If not, how long should bloodlines be 'rooted' inside borders to qualify?

At least 500 years.

I know someone from Croatia so I'll be hoping they win ..

I'm not gonna watch the game today, but I guess I hope England wins, to set up a final against France.

That would be kinda cool.

is that soccer tournament still going on? Do they all get orange slices and a juice box when it's over?

Croatia's played three extra time games and they look the fresher team. Since they tied the game 1-1 at the 67th minute its been all Croatia. Now they lead 2-1 late .
