Football World Cup - Russia 2018

This Neymar bloke, not only is he arrogant, he's bloody useless! Hope I'm not tempting fate....

I was waiting until after the game to say that. I've never personally seen him have a good game. The first time I saw him was in the friendly against England a while back and Jack Wilshere played him off the park. I wonder what happened to him?

He went arse over tit of his own accord! Ref got it bang on imho.

He was being rugby tackled by the two-armed octopus.

And there's too much deference in the side toward him.

Don't they mollycoddle 'em! "He's played 40 odd games in a season blah blah",i heard the commentator say. I remember Ronnie Clayton(Blackburn Rovers and England) telling me that after he'd got back from playing in the 1962 World Cup,he had to go home and get up for work in t'pit the following day!

If he had gone down at that point, instead of shrugging him off and *then* falling over his own feet, maybe... Still would've been harsh.

 

[Dayvo]

Anyone else think that Shaqiri looks like a tubby Harry Enfield?

 

[Reynard]

Oooo, good save!

And then what a miss...

 

[Fnaar]

That's got to be one of the Pythons, Shirley?

I think that's a very good point.

That free kick awarded to Neymar.... The acrobatics running up to it would've scored 10s in the diving pool...

Brazil unconvincing yet again.

 

[Reynard]

And there's too much deference in the side toward him.

I think that's the inflated price tag he comes with, not necessarily his ability...

Brilliant result
Not only a draw but they make good watches too!

 

[matiz]

Apart from Spain and Ronaldo ,there hasnt been a standout team ,a big performance from Engerland tomorrow then who knows.

 

[Tin Pot]

Frustrating. Good to see Brazil attacking all the time, not so much to see them driving to injure Neymar the whole match.

Swiss goal dubious, but that’s football...
