White on Tyne Posted June 24, 2018 Posted June 24, 2018 (edited) They just said on the telly that we’re half way through the tournament. 32 games in and 32 to go. Apart from players feigning injury and the usual cheating I think it’s been bloody alright. The teams who were s’posed to be contenders have been found out. Some surprises and quite a few unconventional teams have a good shout to go far. It’s also hard to see how the rounds will work out. So that’ll do for me. Best tournament for quite some time because there’s lots of surprises to come Edited June 24, 2018 by White on Tyne
deane koontz Posted June 24, 2018 Posted June 24, 2018 So far it's been one of the most entertaining ones I've seen....Long may it continue. And I'm a negative cunt
stevieb Posted June 24, 2018 Posted June 24, 2018 It's been good viewing. Very few dull games couple it with a cracking England start and some surprise results it's shaping up well.
Didledee Posted June 24, 2018 Posted June 24, 2018 (edited) Really enjoyable so far bar a few games Loads of drama, loads of goals. loads of great goals. Edited June 24, 2018 by Didledee
Spider Posted June 24, 2018 Posted June 24, 2018 not a single goalless game in 32 matches That's some going.
L/H White Posted June 24, 2018 Posted June 24, 2018 Loved it so far Shame about the 3pm kick offs coming up as still at work. Oh well
gonzo Posted June 24, 2018 Posted June 24, 2018 Been bloody brilliant. Apart from var that can fuck off. Good to see old guard being threatened. Can’t honestly call the winner. Belgium and Croatia won’t be far away.
Tonge moor green jacket Posted June 24, 2018 Posted June 24, 2018 At what point can Croatia meet Serbia if the latter managed to get through- might be interesting
enzo gambaro Posted June 25, 2018 Posted June 25, 2018 At what point can Croatia meet Serbia if the latter managed to get through- might be interestingAssuming Croatia win their group, the final (or 3rd v 4th). Serbia would have to beat Brazil and win their group to go through.
tomski Posted June 25, 2018 Posted June 25, 2018 Another one who has really enjoyed it so far. Best tournament for a long time
Biggish Dave Posted June 25, 2018 Posted June 25, 2018 Been as decent a World Cup as I can remember. Italy 90 was pretty good but this ain’t bad at all. Still not convinced VAR is any good though. Just registered with FIFA in the hope of tickets if we get to semi’s and final. What a glory hunter
Burndens Bogs Posted June 25, 2018 Posted June 25, 2018 Fantastic tournament, one of the most enjoyable in my lifetime - and i'm an owd 'un
gonzo Posted June 25, 2018 Posted June 25, 2018 (edited) How shit was South Africa?! Edited June 25, 2018 by gonzo
Whites man Posted June 25, 2018 Posted June 25, 2018 not a single goalless game in 32 matches That's some going. See what happens when you don’t have the Italians in the tournament?
madthatter Posted June 25, 2018 Posted June 25, 2018 Getting excited now. Been a great start and barely seen a dull game. Hopefully a few big names will drop cough Argentina cough before the KOs
athywhite1958 Posted June 30, 2018 Posted June 30, 2018 (edited) Left Kaliningrad this morning at 7.30 on a coach to Gdansk to fly home on Monday, I have tickets for the final (if England get through) Sat in a bar in Gdansk pissed off as there are 2 of us on way home and the other 4 we went with are en route to Moscow, this is probably the best tournament I have been to in the last 25 years.

How were the Russians with you ?
athywhite1958 Posted June 30, 2018 Posted June 30, 2018 No problems at all, some Spartan lads told us they had had 'the knock' a few weeks ago telling them their lives would be ruined if they caused any trouble, locals in the places we stayed were brilliant
birch-chorley Posted June 30, 2018 Posted June 30, 2018 Been a great tournament watching it mate Bet you’ve had a cracking time Have you got travel plans for the final just in case we make it or will you sort that as and when?
athywhite1958 Posted June 30, 2018 Posted June 30, 2018 If we get to the final we'll get there whatever the cost
