Guess it's better than canada, where our national animal is Justin Trudeau's apology. No chance of that becoming endangered, unfortunately.

How the fuck is the national animal of England a lionnwhen they have never been native there?

It is the Colonial Hangover at it's best.

Definitely disappointing that the 2018 WC semis only have European teams. Always exciting to watch Euro vs. S.American teams duke it out in the semi's and finals.

[ExtraSlow]

But the shame of the south American teams is delicious.

I read somewhere that Neymar spent a total of 14 minutes lying on the ground during his games. Not disappointed to see South and Latin American teams out of the semis.

[ExtraSlow]

I read somewhere that he got fouled at a much higher rate than most players, so he was actually no more "theatrical" than any other top player. No idea of the scientific rigor of that analysis, but I think for one year we should play world cup according to "the purge" rules. No weapons, but also no fouls called.

Great idea Extraslow lol would definitely get more Canadians to watch, but wouldn't that just be called rugby, pretty sure rugby is just soccer with hitting and instead of shooting the ball at a goal you run it across a line like football?

They already do that, its called 'American' Football.
Kidding..

The issue with Naymar was that he did not have to go down... players get fouled a lot or targeted.. This pansy is not the first. Other players learn how to ride them or get strong. Thiery Henry is a fine example...

I just don't see how he (Naymar) could not use that to his advantage in the game by drawing attackers to him and creating space for his team mates... Thats playground basics..oh wait... that would mean Brazil would have to start playing like a TEAM then.
Take the latter part of the Brazil vs Belgium game.. its interesting when Brazil realised they needed to win they started playing in the second half instead of playing for the fouls.

The only downside to south American teams being knocked out is the hot chicks..

I like the bet between Zlatan and Beckham added a bit of drama to the match.

For those of you who missed it

I love it!!

I hope the the camera pans to him as he eats and at the same time they play ABBA on the stadium speakers.

France Vs Belgium is about to kick off in 30 mins...

Anyone watching...? Should be a good game...

De Bruyne and Lukaku didn't show up today.

I don't know how I feel about the time wasting at the end especially by Mbappe, so dirty and the ref didn't add any time after that but France did play great defensively. And I'm not liking how Neymar is starting to rub off on Mbappe... not the type of idol Mbappe should be emulating but I guess it can't be helped since they play together at club level.

France going into the finals in the middle of a Tour too! Very busy in France right now

English "Liberators" were in Africa at one point

They should have "liberated" a Country with good dentistry. I'm still going for Croatia, I learned all I know about the World Cup from @LadyLuck on Instagram.

For instance - did you know the "World Cup" actually contains teams from different parts of the world, unlike the "World Series" which only represents the center of the world? Amazing.

[tonytiger55]

What is this bollocks about England liberating....? The empire did not liberate. They took what they wanted and the bones of their scraps allowed the natives to club each other and create a new order.

I mean do you walk over to your kitchen, grab the milk from the fridge, hold it high in the air and speak an aristocratic voice to proclaim you are liberating the pint of milk and eggs from the tyranny of the fridge? Fuck no. You open the fridge, TAKE what you want and consume.. The Empire was a lion and a lion needs to EAT!

Soooo, the traditional enemy of the English has clawed their way into the Final... Napoleon is has let out a mighty laugh and lashes out his taunts...


My beyond brothers ( & Croatian traitors)
The semi finals.... the real game you all have been waiting for..

England Vs Croatia

Only than the English fans... nobody will understand the importance of the semi final for us...

It seems from the poll I posted... I need to get a girlfriend and there are some Croatian rebels amongst us... aahhhhh the plotting Meerkats in the mist..
Thier answer to become a mini Richard Parker to counter St Georges Lions..



Tomorrow we shall see a mighty battle.... the battle of the English hearts and Croatian farts.
Prior to the game..the Croatians will munch down their cabbage with joy. They will inhale each other's gas with romantic pride, do the Moscow dance and sing..



Meanwhile.. on the outskirts of the city... St George sat in silence..with his chariot of lions.. Moscow beckoned...
A small breeze wafted.. trees gently swayed.

You could hear the chants of the fans over the horizon... They were calling...
ENGLAND ENGLAND ENGLAND..

St George unsheathed his sword and pointed it towards the city....In his great voice he called out... "For Bobby!!!'


The lions jumped up and with all their heart they let out a mighty ROAR!!!

The chariot charged forward and thundered towards Moscow...

This was it...

I am pretty much subscribed to this thread now because of tonytiger. Bitch - you crazy.

You've done something thousands could not - made soccer entertaining. And for that, we thank you.
