2 min of injury time to go

Tall Paul · Post by **Tall Paul** » Wed Jun 27, 2018 4:54 pm

I think that puts the VAR debate to bed.

Best thing ever.

Looked like a good offside call in real time, so fair play to the linesman, but clearly played back by the german, so fair play to VAR.

And completely ruins any instant goal celebration!
And allows penalties to be given when it's not handball (Iran)
And allows players to be wrestled to the ground and not given (England and Serbia)
And allows players to elbow others but only get a yellow (Ronaldo)

Yeah, it's the best thing ever!

Oh deary me, we watched the Germany v Mexico game in a bar in Berlin and the atmosphere was pretty flat then, what must it be like now?

Glad we're not there now to be honest

Brilliant, absolutely brilliant. Hummels kept missing chances and he could have boosted my fantasy points. Bugger that though, this is brilliant.

A superb 99.. yes 99 minutes of dogged play from the S Koreans to run out 2-0 winners.

So the holders Germany fail to go through to the knock outs in finishing bottom of their group.

When did the last holders actually get out the next wc group?

Mexico would have been the only team ever to win both their opening games and not qualify. The only others when only the 1 team went through.

LeadBelly · Post by **LeadBelly** » Wed Jun 27, 2018 5:17 pm

I can't wait to catch up on the German press. A lot of Germans have been critical of the team (especially Ozil and Gundogan for appearing to support Erdgogan). They'll really be laying into some of the players + manager now.
Not sure if they'll have any turnip pictures but I live in hope.

Not perfect, but it has to be better than what went before.

About time they suffered.

Crazy given the players they've got. I didn't like Low before but saw a documentary made about Germany in Brazil and he came over very well. He's a good manager but he really seemed out of it with his team changes. Still, it will do some Germans that a bit of humility is required from time to time.

South West Claret. · Post by **South West Claret.** » Wed Jun 27, 2018 7:12 pm

Next up and just started Brazil v Serbia Beeb 1.

Costa Rica v Switzerland on the other side.

Will Brazil also go out today?

South West Claret. · Post by **South West Claret.** » Wed Jun 27, 2018 7:53 pm

Well after that half of Brazilian dominance there’s not much chance of them going out of the WC unless Serbia buck up considerably. 1-0 ht.
