Should a German be refereeing a Swiss match.

Bit weird

Would a Scot be reffing an English match, absolutely no chance.

very entertaining.

[Mibbes Aye]

very entertaining.

I like it because it's funny, but it also shows that Englishmen were poking fun at their football team and the sense of expectation and acknowledging all the old stereotypes for a good long time. Decades in fact.

[Gmack7]

The multiple correct decisions made with it so far says otherwise.

If it gets 1 in 100 wrong decisions changed to right then its worth the time. If it had existed in Scotland 2 years ago we win the Falkirk tie.

And if it was around in 79 we get a penalty when the Girvan lighthouse takes out colin campbell

[Mikers110]

VAR seem very reluctant to give penalties for wrestling in the box, but are quick to jump on all other infringements in the box e.g.trips and handball. Official directives at play?

[JeMeSouviens]

Apparently Xhaka is an ethnic Albanian Serb whose family had to flee Kosovo from Serbia and his father was put in prison for 3 years protesting against the Serbia government. Don't think he likes them.

He’s a Kosovar, as is our Flo.

Why ever not?

Don't see any reason why Serbia can't beat Brazil. Brazil don't look anything special at all. Neymar's dramatics just make me dislike them even more. 2nd goal against a very average Costa Rica team was clearly offside. When I think how entertaining the 1970 and 1982 Brazil teams were, this team is something completely different and IMO they're no where near good enough to win the World Cup. Yet another team in this tournament built round 1 or 2 individuals surrounded by a lot of pretty average players.

They played well 2nd half, could've been alot more. Wasn't offside at all because VAR would've ruled it out. They've been better than most so far. Very few average players in Brazil's strongest 11. 4 years ago Brazil were *****, this time they look a better side

Agree think they are good and will go far. Neymar clicking into form also however he really is a piece of work with antics so possibly could miss an important game if gets another yellow before quarters. Goal never offside.

[Hibrandenburg]

Make or break day for Germany today. A draw will leave them needing Mexico to beat Sweden and them to beat Korea by a few goals. Still not convinced they've got the key to open up defences but would love them to find it again.

I agree with the first bit, Serbia could easily beat Brazil with the quality they've got, but Brazil have world class players all the way through the team and on the bench. Coutinho Douglas Costa Firmino Jesus are all match winners if Neymars apparent mental disintegration gets any worse.
This whole group is stronger than I thought it would be.

sounds like my nephew, loves football more than anything but his feet don't seem to agree :greengrin

[IGRIGI]

What a miss 😂😂 Was flagged offside but didn't look it.

[One Day Soon]

C'mon, get the hands oot the lederhosen and start nailing these Dancing Queens.

[Mon Dieu4]

Dunno how they are keeping some of these out

[One Day Soon]

Jochen Lowe looked angry there. Like he might take his library book back a bit late or something.

[heretoday]

Only a matter of time till the huns score.

[hibsbollah]

Jochen Lowe looked angry there. Like he might take his library book back a bit late or something.

I wish he'd stop licking his lips. He looks like he should be on some sort of register.

[hibsbollah]

Swedish hipster sub comes on.

[One Day Soon]

Sweden bring on Sinbad. Interesting.

[One Day Soon]

That's a feckload of Sweden fans. If they don't give us at least one chorus of Mamma Mia then really what's the point of them?

[Hibs90]

Swedish hipster sub comes on.

You must be in dreamland :greengrin

[One Day Soon]

These commentators are idiots. As usual.

[hfc rd]

Boateng sent off for Germany

[GlesgaeHibby]

Boateng sent off. Best thing that could happen to Germany, Guy is a bombscare

[One Day Soon]

Commentators orgasming over the prospect of Germany going out.

Meanwhile referee ****s up over second yellow.

[Iggy Pope]

I wish he'd stop licking his lips. He looks like he should be on some sort of register.

Better he licks his lips than picks his nose and eats his snotters as he is prone to.

[hibsbollah]

YouTube footage please garçon.

[hibsbollah]

That's a sitter for Mario Gomez. Right at the keeper.

[IGRIGI]

Cracking Swedish save, Alamo esque though.

[Iggy Pope]

YouTube footage please garçon.

[One Day Soon]

This commentator is a serious total ****er. Exactly the type that gives England a bad reputation.

[hibsbollah]

Monsieur ...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZbn0D101RI

Mmm. C'est délicieux, merci beaucoup.

[IGRIGI]

Hunbelievable miss.

[One Day Soon]

Ffs.

[hibsbollah]

What's Werner doing standing five yards offside on that Brandt shot? Overrated.

[Mon Dieu4]

Bosch

[hibsbollah]

Hipster twat gives away stupid free kick. What a crazy finish!!!

[IGRIGI]

Unbelievable Jeff!!

[hfc rd]

What a winner!

[Mibbes Aye]

Tooooooooooooooooooor!!!!!

[One Day Soon]

"They're not singing anymore, they're not singing anymore...."

[Mick O'Rourke]

That was not in the commentators script !



(http://cineuropa.org/en/film/321245/)

[JeMeSouviens]

What a finish!

[hibsbollah]

Credit due. Down to ten men as well.

[One Day Soon]

Deutchsland. Greater.

[Hibs Class]

Hope Lustig enjoyed his view of the winning goal

[One Day Soon]

Seriously, if you want the job done - ask the Germans.

[hibsbollah]

Henrik Larsson looks like he's been booted square in the baws.

[Deansy]

Commentary-team will need therapy !

[SaulGoodman]

Get it right round you Lustig

[Greentinted]

Incredible end. Commentators pure spewing...🤣

[Billy Whizz]

Victory for football. Well done Germany

[MWHIBBIES]

Get ****ed Mikael lustig

[One Day Soon]

Poor Henrik, does he not know the Germans are hard to stop in Russia when it's not winter?

[hfc rd]

That Bray Wyatt lookalike that came on for Sweden gave away a very stupid free kick. The moment it left Kroos’ right foot it was already on its way in.

[Thecat23]

Get it right up that commentary team. That’s one of the most desperate I’ve heard heard for wanting a side knocked out.

[Iggy Pope]

Henrik Larsson looks like he's been booted square in the baws.

To be fair, they all look as angry as Roy Keane usually does after booting someone in the baws. I reckon old Keano might be quite cheery here.

[AltheHibby]

That was not in the commentators script !



(http://cineuropa.org/en/film/321245/)

Kind of Spoiled their night. Good. 😂

[Haymaker]

Called that free-kick. One smug ******* in the boozer right now.

[whiskas]

What a last 15 mins to that game. Huge win for Germany

[telford hibbee]

Another david gray moment at the World Cup.

[One Day Soon]

To be fair, they all look as angry as Roy Keane usually does after booting someone in the baws. I reckon old Keano might be quite cheery here.


:rotflmao:

[hibsbollah]

You're spot on, Roy is actually happy :faf:

[Onion]

Commentators slobbering and salivating over Germany going out and "opening up that side of the draw" :greengrin

You'd think they'd learn by now.

[One Day Soon]

Sweet Jesus, if Germany go through by manking South Korea out of it I'll need to be tranquilised with whatever it takes to put an elephant down.

[Iggy Pope]

You're spot on, Roy is actually happy :faf:

He is loving the game. Best player out the four of them too. And the hardest ****.

Edit: and all of them Manures.

[hibsbollah]

I thought they were a bit harsh on Boateng in commentary, but watching those clips they're spot on. What is he doing??

[One Day Soon]

Commentators slobbering and salivating over Germany going out and "opening up that side of the draw" :greengrin

Aye, Germany don't do rolling over in Europe.

[hibsbollah]

He is loving the game. Best player out the four of them too. And the hardest ****.

Agreed. Evra is merely a ****.

[whiskas]

Larsson looks understandably gutted.

[heretoday]

Fair play to Germany but their build-up was ponderous throughout the game.

[One Day Soon]

Larsson looks understandably gutted.

Larsson looks completely not understandably and utterly implausibly orange. It's like he's been marinated in Lucozade for 24 hours.

[Billy Whizz]

Fair play to Germany but their build-up was ponderous throughout the game.

It was, but Sweden were so negative.

[Iggy Pope]

Agreed. Evra is merely a ****.

Lost any respect for him when he let backed down to Saurez' toothy white power stance instead of nutting him.

[Onion]

With !0 mins to go the commentators had somehow managed to work themselves into a froth with Germany, Argentina and Brazil all OUT in their fantasy world (cup) :rolleyes:

[HibbyAndy]

Why is Larsson orange ?

[Iggy Pope]

Why is Larsson orange ?

He's a good 20 years too late picking that shade.

[One Day Soon]

Now that we've had a chance to see a number of stronger nations look unconvincing and England's chance of winning it has arguably strengthened I can't help feeling that the possibility of being world champions - albeit still not favourites - behoves Gareth Southgate to get a head transplant. Soon.

[Liam978]

With !0 mins to go the commentators had somehow managed to work themselves into a froth with Germany, Argentina and Brazil all OUT in their fantasy world (cup) :rolleyes:

Spot on ,how cringeworthy were they, hardly any commentary on the actual play at all.

[Is It On....]

I think that Portugal, Spain and Belgium look the best so far. Belgium showed how good Tunisia really are and puts England's "masterclass" into perspective..

[chinaman]

Name the other four:rules:

I like Russia France and Italy, that's it.

welsh ones excellent.

[Scorrie]

I’d maybe include Croatia in that group? I know Argentina are poor but they look pretty useful
