World Cup Last 16 and onwards (excluding England matches)

chicagohammer

Not greatly impressed with Denmark vs Croatia not a lot of quality on display, not really doing much for me

Ho hum

Yeoldhammer

neither team can shoot for toffee so far. Very combative though so makes it entertaining if somewhat frustrating at the lack of quality.

SuzanneClaret

It’s a truly terrible game.

buffybegood

Drama, pen to Croatia

buffybegood

Saved.

Not a very good pen by Modric, relatively easy save for Schmeical.

IronHerb

Doesn't anyone want to win this World Cup?

MrsGrey

First 10 mins and last 5 were entertaining, anyway.

SuzanneClaret

;lol doesn’t look like it IH.

buffybegood

Goes to pens.

SuzanneClaret

;wahoo

SuzanneClaret

Wow... some of these pens are as bad as the game.

MrsGrey

I'm being very brave and watching them.

buffybegood

2-2 after 8 pens lol, no-one wants to win.

buffybegood

Denmark miss another

buffybegood

Croatia go through.

SuzanneClaret

How gutting is that... you save three pens and still go out.

chicagohammer

Not sure either team deserved that - pleased to be fairly neutral, that must have been awful for those with a more vested interest.

Not sure how the Danish defender avoided a red card but no matter

PrestonHammer

He avoided a red because he made a genuine attempt to go for the ball as opposed to just hacking the player down.

MrsGrey

New rule, apparently, Chicago. If ref judges that the defender made a genuine attempt to get the ball, he can give a yellow. According to our comms ;ok

MrsGrey

;whome

It's really amusing as it's Kasper Schmeichel.

;lol

PrestonHammer

I must have been listening to the same comms Mrs. Grey ;biggrin

Fortuneseeker

Shame Spain lost as they should have had a penalty towards the end of extra time but that would have upset the locals. ;wink

chicagohammer

Thanks, makes sense, on our comms there were to many odd references, he is going for the PK, that is a free kick play and my new pet peeve is the constant reference to the penalty mark.

IT’S A SPOT, SPOT get it, as in Penalty SPOT

Really not difficult

PrestonHammer

Do they call a shot on goal a goal shot? ;lol

Americans on Twitter have been infuriating. The worst are the ones who think they know about football. And a lot of snide comments about how worse teams than them are in the tournament (even though they have the easiest qualifying route)

I really dislike the Fox commentaries. I’m just so glad that Fox doesn’t have the rights to the EPL games.

The only commentary I liked on Fox was the Mex Korea game! The guy who shouts gooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaOOOOOOOOOOOOOOaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalllllll still kills me every time ;lol

BubblesNeverDies

So Baz, how many lives do you have left? ;hmm
