1-0 Russia.

TV cameras cut to Putin and probably the Saudi king after the goal. They shook hands and the British TV commentator said "That's nothing about the football, they're doing an oil deal. You'll find out about it at the pumps on Monday".

The Russians look like a sunday league side... Especially in the final third.

Is that's the case then what do the Saudis look like?

Just play the game Foro. Don't get bogged down in the details.

Shut up. I only asked a question and reacted to the answer. I even ended in a positive manner (last sentence).

Like Arabs.

 

[Black Wizard]

Shut up.

Like Arabs.

Like this guy?

By the way, the official song is a huge letdown.

 

[The Flash]

It's Shakira or bust, clearly.

Okay I am not used to new/second chances. Mostly it is predict it all from the beginning.

But this is interesting and gives everyone a good fair chance to score again.

I designed it for my North American office, so that the people from Canada who don't get football won't feel bad when they do something stupid like predict South Korea to go all the way.

And will everyone stop fighting, please? This is just for funsies.

 

[Black Wizard]

No way man. This stuff is deadly serious. Bragging rights are super important here.

 

[Forostar]

3-0? Meh.

So we are watching the match for the 31rd and 32rd place. The two worst performing countries from the last 40 years of World Cups or so.

Aleksandr Golovin is one hell of a talent. Was rumoured to be on Arsenal's radar last season.

Sometimes watching bad teams is just as fun, but it's not exactly the greatest example of the beautiful game.

 

[Forostar]

I am glad when this is over. The Russian coach looks like the man in the Pink Panther cartoons and the gameplay by these nations is as degrading as their (foreign) policies.

Watching bad teams is what the World Cup is all about. Guys like Lionel Messi are incredible but they don't seem real. This is the kind of match that's easy enough to find within an hour of your house in the UK on a Saturday afternoon.

Russia is better than Peru, Panama and Straya, probably.

 

[Forostar]

Look at those Saudi millionaires. They can't play. Not even amateur league.
They don't even try. All they are interested in is playing the ball from side to side.


Let their opponents cheer while they can. I reckon they'll be slaughtered in the next matches.

If these Saudi players were women, they'd be on the first plane home for some stoning in the streets.
