World Cup: QF: Russia vs. Croatia, 7/7/2018

[Evilo]

They're all just weird germans if we're being honest...

Italians I'd rather say.

 

[Firsov99]

Ignashevich isn't good enough anymore either & he can't keep up physically

I also think Neu's 2016 euros weren't nearly as bad as they are remembered, but I've given up trying to make that argument lol. As for the kids, I know they are raw, but at least they had the natural ability to deliver if things clicked for them...whereas with Igna the only hope is that he isn't exposed too often or taken advantage of too badly.

Trust me, I am no fan of Ignashevich. He plays for a club that I hate the most The World Cup is not a place for experiments. Cherchesov was under so much pressure in anyway, that’s probably why he went with the old guard instead of a completely unproven player.

I'm surprised how surprised Croatia seem to be by Mario Fernandes' threat. It's not as though he's only just turned up.

Technically prior to the Norman invasion the Saxons ruled England which makes them german. Which is rather ironic considering the current ruling family House Windsor aka Gotha von Saxe Coburg is more German than anything else.

Actually thanks to Princess Diana being decended from an illegitimate heir from House Stuart means technically when one of her children ascends to the throne he will restore the Stuart bloodline.

But the whole english royal family comes from France.

Croatia could use some Ivica Olic now..

Only in certain parts of the country. The north-east, for instance, was controlled by the Angles initially.

I've read that whereas no other English dialect is more than 30% words of Angle origin, 80% of Geordie dialect words have Angle roots.

I can see that. I read texts about english peasants (1000s likely, perhaps earlier) travelling from one village to the next, that they spoke unintelligibe language. They especially complained about not being able to buy eggs (eggs used in one village, eiren in the other (very close the German "Eier").

Some of us were born north of the wall.

 

[Firsov99]

Kuzyaev is ready to take a nap now. Croatia is knocking on the door.

 

[Ceremony]

Surely this game isn't shite enough that you need to debate the royal family.

North of the Tyne we still have to put up with that complaint now.

Yeah but the Angles were a germanic tribe initially to. Hell even Ireland & Scottland spent long periods of time under scandiwegian domination; and the those nordic invaders were all just weird germans to lol. Rome really paved the wave for germanic tribes to kick the shit out of what was left of the celts in north eastern europe

Tune in next week for another episode of European history for the insane.

You mean Scots

It isn't a debate. My hopes for the royal family being overthrown have met with no objections whatsover, I'm pleased to say.

Then how is Ignashevich still playing? ;-)

I know why it happened, I just don't agree that it was the right decision lol

 

[Firsov99]

Vida is a good sport.

 

[MaxV]

Kuzyaev is a very talented player, but he is so erratic sometimes.

Lol, I know right.

I totally understand.

Is this a Game of Thrones reference?

Votadini, please.

 

[Suiteness]

When the camera keeps panning to hot chicks in the crowd, you know the game ain't good.

 

[offkilter]

I think so, but someone took it to mean Hadrian's wall I believe.

 

[cgf]

Sorta, it's from the books...the show really took some liberties...

 

[Blender]

Croatia is in trouble if their goalie has to come off...

 

[Firsov99]

If he pulled his muscle, I feel for him.
