World Cup 2018

[SugoiBoy]

Alas, my native land failed to qualify for the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

Fortunately, I can cheer on the Samurai Blue. Hope Japan does well in the tournament next year in Russia.

Though if they play like yesterday the Samurai will have Blues very soon in Russia.

Hopefully many of the guys yesterday had their first and their last appearance in the squad at the same time.

Morocco needs a point in Ivory Coast next month to qualify. We've waited long enough, last time we've been in the WC was in 98.

My insomnia has been acting up again so lots of soccer will help me sleep.

With soccer the good thing is just a little bit of it will help me to sleep.

who needs to find lousy virgins in Paradise anyway, when we can have excellent experienced ladies here?

Bravo M6! Et j'espère un match France-Maroc à la Coupe du Monde!

That was a good year!

I beg to differ...

 

[MossBoss]

Team USA have a worse defense than Harvey Weinstein. And Stevie Wonder in goal so no surprises they haven't made it to the World Cup.

That final was...still unbelievable. I remember my jaw dropped

Tell me about it... there are tons of conspiracy theories in Brazil about that - my favorite is the one that says Ronaldo had a seizure before the match because he found out his girlfriend was cheating on him

Ah, didnt know this one. I had heard it was due to some evil French doctors or sorcerers though.

They were all involved in the plot as well, of course

If God wanted people to play soccer we would have been born without arms

Ronaldo was sick and almost ruled out for the final.

God gave us arms so that the less skilled among us could still play as goalkeepers.

 

[e-smile]

If God wanted people to play soccer we would have been born without arms

what about goal keepers and how would throw ins be played ?

 

[zecarioca]

Ronaldo was sick and almost ruled out for the final.

Yeah, he really did have a seizure, that was confirmed afterwards. Forcing him to play was a big mistake.

But still, they conceded 3 goals and it's not because of Ronaldo.
I was happy at that time because Brazil's surprising defeat against Norway eliminated Morocco in the group phase.

Thats deep!
And yes, I agree, God wanted us to play rugby and petanque !

Of course, France totally deserved it, especially because of Zidane (such a genius). But it’s evident that the whole situation with Ronaldo shook up the whole Brazilian team.

What do you mean? You should have been unhappy about that? Or did you bet money AGAINST Morocco?!!!

Must have been that time of the month.

I guess he means that he was happy with Brazil's defeat to France because Brazil indirectly eliminated Morocco with that loss to Norway. (Well, we beat Morocco 3-0 as well, so that should be another reason )
