July 1, 20187 yr 7 minutes ago, naija said: One of the dumbest things posted on here Not really. Games being fixed in soccer is more the norm than the exception (look up the writer Declan Hill) - that it would be done for Russia at their home World Cup - very plausible.

July 1, 20187 yr Yeah, quite possibly the most accomplished group of players among their peers from their youth group to their pro leagues to their international careers, getting paid tons of money, and coming from a country notorious for having pride are going to throw a game for 1 million Euros each.

July 1, 20187 yr I wouldn't even have them as a dark horse. They have the best midfield left in the tournament. I don’t think best is quite clear cut. Belgium for instance.
July 1, 20187 yr Even if you give the midfield edge to Croatia, Belgium has the more complete team. If only England brought their lifetime captain...

July 1, 20187 yr That was one of the worst World Cup games I've watched in a long time. Boring as hell.
July 1, 20187 yr Watched Pique handball two or three times in the penalty box in earlier matches, all with his hands out to his sides, instead of behind his back, so pretty happy it got called finally. Generally didn't like the way Spain played. Glad they're out.
July 1, 20187 yr Love that Gieco commercial where the guy slides around the pitch on his knees after scoring a goal.

Just stahp. Spain didn’t throw this game. They played the way they always do. Russia played compact and Spain couldn’t break them down.

Generally didn't like the way Spain played. Glad they're out. I don't know the rules on that but went to the BBC website and they said it was 100% handball. There was another one a few days ago from another team. Can't quite remember who.

July 1, 20187 yr This round of 16 has been nuts so far and it continues into the CRO-DEN match. Good stuff.

July 1, 20187 yr Lovely long pass by Croatia that created a nice run. That's what German football used to look like.
