[Football] World Cup - Day Fourteen... The knockout stages begin.

[Stat Brother]

I ll give you that one @Kinky Gerbils

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Oh dear, Maty, the perils of dicking around at the back eh?

 

[Triggaaar]

So which other country in CONCACAF do you suggest host it?

I would suggest taking it around more of the world before returning to somewhere that had it 8 tournaments ago.

 

[Eric the meek]

It's tough being a keeper, as there's no hiding place. One mistake and you're the villain.

Outfield players make mistakes all the time, with misplaced passes, missed shots, missed tackles etc. They all do, even Messi etc.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Danny Murphy, who is normally one of the better commentators is being ridiculous with his comments tonight.

 

[GrossTurn]

35 years old, and he’s still carving teams apart on his own like that.

 

[BrightonCottager]

Haiti.

One of the founding members of CONCACAF, been to a WC before, and if anyone could do with an influx of money and infrastructure, they are prime candidates unfortunately. A nation that has been continually shat upon by the powers that be.


Obviously the current shitstem works that the host country pay to host, so you can ignore all of the above. But I can dream.

If they can split it between 3 nations, why not several through the Caribbean?

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Not just that. He does it virtually every single time.

This. It was a brilliant goal. Unphased by the apparent lack of space, he created the opening out of very little.

Very much both of these.

 

[Weststander]

Oh dear, Maty, the perils of dicking around at the back eh?

It wasn’t part of his game until he met Graham.

 

[1066familyman]

Very dull day's viewing today compared to the daily excitement of the last group games.

 

[Zeberdi]

I guess the commentators’ non stop chat about the brilliance of Messi on my live stream didn’t get the earlier Memo from NSC that there’s 21 other players on the pitch but then …

He kind of plays like there isn’t when his sights are on the goal!!

 

[Stat Brother]

My Argentinian ain't great so am probably wrong but are their fans as one songie as your average Saints fan.

All I've heard tonight is La Marseillaise played and sung by people who nearly know how it goes but aren't sure.

Standard day’s viewing rather than the exceptional ones we’ve had. Not every day is going to be a banger. I’ve found the games entertaining FWIW

 

[dazzer6666]

Ooh, game on perhaps

 

[Zeberdi]

Well Goodwin - that’s changed it up!

 

[Weststander]

Ooh, game on perhaps

Await commentator’s:

“You feel there’s one more chance for Australia. Giants Souttar and Ryan come up for this corner. They just have to put it in the mixer”.

 

[1066familyman]

Behic nearly out Messing Messi there.

 

[US Seagull]

If they can split it between 3 nations, why not several through the Caribbean?

Because most Caribbean nations can't afford it? Even in part. And don't already have stadiums? Or much interest in football?

Probably why they don't seem to want to put together a bid?

If you have reggae, ganja, rum and cricket . . . . Why would you want thousands of fuckwitted pissheads ruining your back yard. . .

 

[The Wizard]

Argentina have been very very average imo, can’t see them stopping Brazil
