World Cup Kickoff Thread

was gutted we got knocked out in the first round, Boston will forever be twinned with Glasgow. I can the final being between France and Argentina. It is just a shame that politics has been overshadowing what has been a great World Cup so far. I will be rooting for Norway when they play England ๐

We got a poor hand, no doubt, but as I say alot, Scotland getting to the WC finals is our goal, getting out the group would just be icing on the cake.
All my life, some pretty tasty footballers have played for Scotland, Dennis Law, Kenny Dalglish, Jimmy Johnstone, Willie Miller, too many to list. For whatever reason, stick them in that blue shirt, and it all falls to pieces!
The fact is, not nearly enough is spent by the SFA on grass roots football, and managers, in fear for their jobs, they just buy foreign journeymen, no time given to bedding in young lads from their academy. This problem is getting worse, and I hope action is taken ere long.

Iโm sad about Japan not being there. They really should have gone after Brazil the way they generally go after everyone else

I was sorry Colombia went out especially on penalties.

Me too @Rag_793. The Scottish have gone down as legends though. What a hit the tartan army were in Boston ๐

Absolutely correct, some huge names on the list, I would add Andy Goram, Colin Hendry and Ally McCoist to the list as well.
we canโt forget the wee Pocket Battleship - Archie Gemmel

Afternoon all,
After a little break between fixtures, the first game of the quarter finals arrives tonight at 9pm (BST) with France (@wrighty08) v Morocco (@Anhedonia2 and @Tazzi)
Will France continue their advance to a third successive World Cup final or will Morocco pull off a bit of an upset? Will the entirely Argentine match official selection have any bearing on the outcome? ๐คฃ
1 -
I am going to be controversial here - or maybe just an idiot! - and predict that Morocco will win this one. Other outcomes are of course availableโฆ. ๐
Maybe with the help of the Argentinian match officials who knows? ๐
Happy footie viewing everyone!

To be fair, I feel like they are right - it certainly looked that way and they're not doing any favours in the handling of it

Let's go Moroccoooo ย ๐ช
Argentina won't want to go against France so I wonder if we'll see any interesting decisions ๐
2 -
Yay! It's back on ๐ค
Surprised the amount of people going for the underdog - love it! I'll go with France tonight. Hopefully it's an entertaining game ๐
1 -
I don't think Morocco ever really troubled France. Bit disappointing really.
1 -
Okay, I was an idiot. Of course France would win, doh! ๐ I blame the heat....

Ahhh, i thought it was a nice thing to route for the underdog. ๐
It's Spain vs Belgium tonight. Will anyone be watching? I think Spain will win.
1 -
I think I'll go for Spain to win tonight. I have them as my 'team' anyway, and they have not allowed a goal against them yet this tournament.
So that's a Belgium win thenโฆ. ๐

That last sentence made me laugh out loud ๐๐

I also think Spain will win.

Evening all,
In just a few minutes we Spain (@Scooby222 and @ripple) takes on Belgium (@Richard_Scope) at 8pm (BST).
It feels like a France/Spain semi-final has been inevitable from the start, but can Belgium spring a surprise?
1 -
3 minutes of it is hydration break @SwiftFox
Great first half and well done Belgium 1 - 1 at HT
Not sure why the Spain player had the ball up his top.

Iโm surprised Belgium have made it this far. Theyโve looked okay against Spain though. Maybe they are slow burners, they played poorly in their group games
