Board 8 > World Cup 2018 Discussion part 2

(+) Yeah! (+)

Sounds to me like XIII hates nadal and ronaldo because they're pretty.

For real though, I can get ronaldo because he plays in a sport where flopping is inherently more common and so all players kind of have an edge in "posers" quality just for being in the sport, but what has nadal done to earn that reputation?
---

Hahahhaa Argentina.

It was GLORIOUS.
---

South America DONE as a major power

probably forever

I did provide some reasons for the comparison. I'm not the first person to make it either. Nadal/Ronaldo and Messi/Federer

Do you have some kind of syndrome/complex? No judgment if you do...
---

Nadal/Ronaldo upsets me because I really dislike Nadal.
---

Well yeah, you're a decent guy who happens to be Portuguese, so that fits
---

Man I just saw the first Croatia goal - what the hell was that from the Argentinian keeper
---

How about this game

They'd been playing too much FIFA.
---

I really hope this gets taken away.
---

Lmao

Good stuff
---

Aw yeah, get fucked flopper.
---

Neymar seems upset
---

All that said, I really want Brazil to net a last-minute goal here because this is outrageous.
---

all the reasons to hate soccer currently on display
---

There it is
---

Hahahahaha fuck you Costa Rica.

Fuck your bullshit.
---

On one hand, the shit Costa Rica has pulled is terrible and very unsportsmanlike.

On the other, Neymar is such a bitch that I can't help feeling not sorry at all for him.
---

Only fitting.
---

Not sure why the ref hadn't ended the game yet but there's your Neymar goal
---

He gave 6 minutes, there was a goal, and then 2 minutes of celebration. Figured it'd probably go to at least 97:30 or so.
---

oh I was thinking the first goal happened before stoppage time

This

God, I hope Brazil gets another 7 - 1 to deal with. Such an unlikeable team, just because of Neymar.
---

Damn, you hate to see that.
---

Neymar is a real shit

The bullshit stuff he's done at PSG is absolutely unreal.
---

Go Go Gadget Nigeria!
---

I missed the game what did CR do
---

hell of a touch by that Nigerian goal scorer

so far my bandwagon Iceland shirt has yet to give them any goals
---

welp

Argentina still alive
---

It falls on Nigeria to stop Argentina now.
---

awwwwwwwwwwwwww Iceland at least make the penalty ;_;
---

Ooh, He'll never live that one down.

Not necessarily. This is where those 3 Croatian goals may come back to haunt them. If both Iceland and Argentina win by the same amount on Tuesday, Iceland would progress on GD.
---

Honestly can't see Argentina beating Nigeria based on current form

Yeah, and I have no idea how much Croatia may decide to coast since they've got the group pretty much locked up.
---

I'm assuming Iceland doesn't win against Croatia, but yeah, those scenarios could work.

Nigeria just needs a draw.
---

^ With their tails up now, They won't settle for one
---

Didn't get to watch the game live but holy Musa's first goal was sick
---

Slight renewed hope for Argentina - but please switch out Cabellero.
---

Switzerland turning it up
---

Go Go Switzerland!
---

Serbia has completely falling apart for the last 20 minutes

And then that happens

G'night Serbia.
---

Serbia definitely should have gotten a penalty

Yes. Yes they should have.

That was basically the last time they had offensive presence too
