Looks like Russia-Saudi has gone into sleep mode in the second half.

 

[wolfson]

yep Eldar , the sub just scored . Kolchack the time diff I gave you was 17 hours not 15 hours , so add a couple of hours to your time for the matches , good to see the home country chalking a win ,always like to see the home country go through to the next round .

Watched the Iceland match. That was a surprise.
And how did Peru not win. Seemed they carried most of the play.
Germany with a loss? Mayhem in the streets?

Sounds good to me. Will have to give them a go.

Must say, Iceland didn't really surprise me, they finished first in qualifiers and played
an outstanding European Championship two years ago and eliminitated England.
Every smaller country should pick Iceland as a role model.
On that day I received a post card from Iceland, delivery only took 23 days.
But thanks anyway "Islandspostur".

Expect mayhem, when we win a game.

 

[EldarOfSuburbia]

Mexico deserved to win vs. Germany. Germany just didn't know what to do with the Mexican counter-attacks.

M& Ms caramel going to try Naildriver , sounds great . this is why I love the World Cup , no other World game has it , anyone of any given day can beat anyone !!! Biff is so right about Iceland ,they started a program about 10 years ago which is working , a population around 300,000 this is unreal !!! Germany vs Mexico what a match end to end , Kolchack , a team like Peru can be all over the other team and still not win . on a lovely note , the opposing fans lifting a wheelchair person up high to watch his team !!! amazing how the fans come together from all over the World , take note when watching the crowds in the stands during a match , you`ll see them intermixed !!! I`m enjoying every moment on the field or off it !!!

 

[Kolchak357]

I’m not really a soccer fan, as you can probably tell by my comments. But I always enjoy the World Cup. So much drama and every team is so skilled. Each match worth watching.

 

[wolfson]

just come back from paying a bill , couldn`t get the caramel M&Ms , I got banana split and lamington M&Ms , they are great !!! Kolchack you don`t need to be a fan to enjoy the World Cup . watching all the different nations coming together , brings joy to all of us . I can`t wait for Qatar WOW in the Middle-East and the hot weather !!! but the one in 2026 takes the cake , Canada , USA & Mexico ( thank god snake oil salesman Trumpy won`t be around to stuff it up ) first time 3 countries , how good is that . I believe 10 games in Canada & 10 games in Mexico & the USA gets 60 games . 48 countries for the first time , WOW !!!

 

[wolfson]

great night and morning of World Cup Football !!!! I thought our pollies were bastards for sending refugees offshore , USA your pollies are bigger bastards for taking children away from there parents , and pulling out every bloody deal , the way your pollies are going , the USA will be living in total isolation , that`s not the USA we all know , who is always willing to help !!!

 

[wolfson]

great night at the World Cup !!! Messi & Ronaldo will never come near Maradona & Pele . Messi & Ronaldo have played in the best teams in the World , teams full of internationals in there first teams & 2nd teams . Maradona & Pele played in the eras were defenders would be put in jail if the tackles were made outside the ground . let`s see them do what Maradona did , went to Napoli who had never one anything . with the help of Brazilian Careca he won 2 Italian Champs and a Europa Cup plus a World Cup & World Cup runner up .
