The Big Vital Lincoln City World Cup 2018 Thread!

Why do I still expect Germany to win the World Cup even though they are out?

 

[Merthyr Imp]

Hooray for VAR!

2nd time the Germans have gone to Russia and suffered an unexpected defeat, I guess they actually got to Moscow this time...

Germany were very poor but even going into injury time I expected them to come up with something. Gotta say that this world cup is delivering big time

This is an example of gloating which is the essence of football rivalry all over the world.

Schadenfreude is the appropriate word.

ZDF is good watching right now !

Depending on the results in the earlier matches tomorrow, could we see both Belgium and England trying to lose the game to get the easier next game?

 

[Brendan Bradley]

Hooray for VAR!

Don't mention the VAR!

I knew the Germans wouldn't win this time - as soon as I got them in a sweepstake.

Shafted is fairly appropriate.

I think game after the next game. 2nd round opponents much of a muchness. Quarter final could be Brazil or some Swiss / Swede match up. But let's not get ahead of ourselves. Remember Iceland. And many penalty shootouts. Maybe even Serbia will knock out Brazil later! Take one game at a time. But boy did I cheer that Korean goal.

1-0 to Brazil.

Cant watch as Ollies gone!

1-0 to Brazil at HT.

I like that Gareth said we haven't won a knock-out game since 2006 and now we're worrying about who we'll play in the semi-finals
