Administrator AquilaTempestas Posted June 9, 2018 Administrator Report Share Posted June 9, 2018 With the FIFA World Cup in Russia starting soon, I thought I'd bring up a discussion about soccer! I personally am hoping for the Germans to win. What about you? MasKaiHilFantic 1 Quote Link to comment

Moderator Sakura Alexia Posted June 9, 2018 Moderator Report Share Posted June 9, 2018 Even though I'm italian I'm not really someone that goes crazy over soccer, and this year, with Italy out I don't really have anyone in particular to root for, regardless its a big even an probably I'll end up watching it anyway. The best team shall win. Quote Link to comment
Lightningblade49 Posted June 15, 2018 Report Share Posted June 15, 2018 Im supporting Spain given majority of my family is Spanish although I don't like my odds with the team is disarray, who sacks a coach 48hrs before the first game on the biggest stage. Australia I am also supporting of course I like there chances of getting out of the group especially if we can somehow hold France to a draw I like our chances against Denmark & Peru. If both get knocked out I will backing France & Netherlands I have little bit of them in me too . Quote Link to comment

It was a tense game that's for sure. Saw a few of the highlights on television. Oh. Apparently they are showing all the Aussie games now after the problem with Optus. For the next 48 hours or something like that. Quote Link to comment

Moderator Sakura Alexia Posted June 27, 2018 Moderator Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 Honestly, compared to previous years there haven't been really good matches or so. I'm sort of just following cuz its a national sport here so... but I'm not really cheering for anyone in particular. Quote Link to comment

TJMike Posted June 27, 2018 Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 Well, not the best game I ever watched. But looks like Mexico was saved by the Koreans, so we're in Quote Link to comment
Moderator Sakura Alexia Posted June 27, 2018 Moderator Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 Well I shall cheer of whatever team is left of yours, mine didn't even make it into the tournament. Shame Italy, really shameful. Malgelir 1 Quote Link to comment
Lightningblade49 Posted June 29, 2018 Report Share Posted June 29, 2018 Australia so disappointing they should have progressed with how they played this tournament but yet again they just cant score on the worlds biggest stage same shit every time. I don't like my chances with Spain much either there defence is atrocious by far the worst team defensively in the whole world cup. Playing such a highline leaves risks of course but they look so lazy the two central defenders and it's two vets in Pique & Ramos but the main issue is clearly poor management of the national team just what the hell were they doing...…. I can only hope things improve for the boys because bigger nations will definitely expose them like Croatia for example who they are playing. Current tip to win World cup: Brazil looking at the draw for the top 16 I think England with how they are playing have the best run to the final and will likely have to play spain to get there but overall I think brazil will get the job done at the moment Quote Link to comment
MasKaiHilFantic Posted June 29, 2018 Report Share Posted June 29, 2018 Well that was surprising, Germany out of the tournament. My father says Croatia or Nigeria have a change. Me? Well honestly I'm not that much into soccer as I am in darts ^^ Quote Link to comment
Administrator AquilaTempestas Posted July 15, 2018 Author Administrator Report Share Posted July 15, 2018 And France has won beating Croatia 4-2 to become the FIFA world champions Malgelir 1 Quote Link to comment
Tikaya Posted July 15, 2018 Report Share Posted July 15, 2018 Ah well, I wanted Croatia to win but went to greener pastures after France scored for the third time. Malgelir 1 Quote Link to comment
belmakori Posted July 16, 2018 Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 I was hoping to see England beat Croatia to get into the finals...I think a match up of England and France would have been excellent. Oh well... Hat's off to France for the win. Quote Link to comment
Administrator AquilaTempestas Posted June 14, 2021 Author Administrator Report Share Posted June 14, 2021 Can't say I'm a follower of soccer, but heard the news about Christian Eriksen (Danish soccer player). For those who don't know... He's a 29 year old sports star who collapsed on the field during the match because of cardiac arrest. Absolutely bloody crazy and really horrified : ( What a horrid thing to witness. Fortunately, they brought him back to life and he's now stable. Just goes to show that you really gotta try and enjoy life. Quote Link to comment
