Wow. That's even better than the Bielefeld Conspiracy.

Lmao wiki users think Bielefeld exists omg that's hilarious.

That shot from the Korean dude with the extreme swerve on it, hell of a save by the keeper. Ho Lee Fuk.

Another match with a goal rate of 1 per 12 minutes. Mind you, a legal goal was annulled to a non-existent offside. Makes it more and more entertaining to hear someone say "it's all 0-0 draws".

Something seriously wrong with you guys' transfer policy.

Since then, 3-0, Slimani assist.

Advice re. getting enough sleep to approach semi-functionality for the day ahead/watching USA-Port? Is it likely to be a shitter after all?

I've bet against Portugal. I'd listen to the most beautiful anthem in the world, then listen to drunken murkans babble incoherently, and then go to sleep.

IKR, they've had one bad game, one good game, one bad game...

Even though i fully share your fear of this, i feel like it also needs to be pointed out that the ranking points available on the table for any and all international matches are a bit of an extra incentive, and i hope that makes even already-out nations battle it out as though it still matters.

No, they had to take down the flags hanging from the balustrade. Maybe it's for fire prevention? But on the other hand, flags are hanging from stands all over the world, and nothing happened...

I clearly clearly clearly remember Swiss flags hanging in that exact same way. I remember it clearly because i remember thinking "even their flag shape has to be better-than-you". But imagine FIFA doing something against the Swiss.

If you watch any Messi interview and compare to any Ronaldo interview, you'll be scratching your head as to why most people have the opinion that Ronaldo is the arrogant asshole and Messi is the fun, approachable nice-guy.

I can't see Germany losing that much concentration this time around, specially considering the current difference of spirits in between respective shower rooms. As long as Müller stays on his feet.
