        They qualified ahead of the Socceroos who were in the same qualifying group

            Off Twitter - "Russia could have won that with one hand tied behind their back. Which coincidentally is the punishment for wanking in Saudi Arabia"

              Every World Cup has to have its whipping boys. Apparently it's Saudi Arabia this time.

                The Saudis will have their hands cut off as punishment when they get home. Except the goalie, he's got tits for hands

                  Uruguay 1
                  Egypt 0

                  Uruguay stodgy as fuck. Egypt much snazzier going forward but repeatedly shat the bed when looking for goal. Salah rode the pine. Disappointed it took til 95th minute for Suarez to try to eat someone. Fuck Urugauy

                  Spain 3
                  Portugal 3

                  Spain looked murderously good, if David Silva stays healthy I pick they win the whole thing. Portugal were shit. Bailed out by the plasticene-faced big screen checker. The claymation marionette had a penalty, then fluked one in off a fluffed De Gea save and then a deadly free kick for his hat trick. Fuck Spain. Pantomime villains at either end in flailing cross-eyed lunatic Costa and judo arm-barring fucktard Ramos

                  Great game. Got what I ordered off the menu too, Nacho with ease.

                    No cutting edge in front of goal?

                      I'm hoping England lose every single game, their fans riot and the police spray them with those big hoses. That's always awesome entertainment.

                            France averaging a shot on target every 2 mins. Matter of time

                                yeah, fairly toothless, just doesnt have his old appetite for goal

                                He's a proven scorer though; once he gets a taste he'll want to dine out on goals

                                  France finally go ahead, then moments later one of their defenders goes "Maradona's hand of God" and gives away a PK. 1-1

                                    Frogs 2

                                    haha, Straya went alright, gave the cossetted frog superstars a fuck of a fright. That VAR PK scenario was damn sketchy. Going the way of rugby, the more you look the more youre gonna find shit to have a cry about. In real time it looked like the frog left his back foot in then sort of belatedly remembered to go down from sniper fire, as they all do. I wouldve booked the fluffybunny for simulation.

                                    Dunno who the players were but good things were happening for Aus down the right. Should've gone to that well more often

                                    haha, Giroud subs on with his head already bandaged and his hair PERFECTLY already manicured around the bandage. Must be going for the rugged Parisien look on the catwalk look this spring.

                                    Was thinking wft is the big deal about Pogba, decorates the game with a couple of ineffectual fancy dan touches then fucken vanishes for 20 minutes. Then oops hello, scythes thru to win them the match

                                    Mbappe too, big deal. Worlds most expensive player my arse. More like Mfappe.

                                    Giroud was taking fashion cues from this guy

                                      @rocky-rockbottom They are regarded as one of the favourites. On tonight's performance I don't think they are tough enough. Pogba showed as much for Utd this season, they don't have any Patrick Viera types that I could see

                                          For all the angst about annual rule changes and directives to clean up the game World Rugby dishes out, ol' FIFA have done fuck all to deal with diving and ref abuse in about 20 years.

                                          It is what it is and I guess the difference between the world's most profitable game vs rugby trying to attract a larger market.
