FIFA World Cup 2018

Carillo impressed me the most from Peru squad in this world cup. Strong, lighting fast and technical dribbler as well.
 
hm.. that Jedinak challenge on Cueva was very close to red card...I guess ref decided he did not see him and did it by accident... Still looks nasty and reckless.

Yeah, I don't think it was intentional but it was pretty nasty
 
Well Peru is doing Denmark a nice favor...but they certainly deserve at least a win for their showing in this World Cup. I read that some fans sold their properties just to afford to come to Russia to cheer for their team, now that is dedication.

Fans filled every stadium, so much passion for their national team. We should have won/tie against Denmark (that Cueva penalty was our doom) and maybe steal a point against France. Teams in group D look beatable (Peru had easy wins against Croatia and Iceland before the WC and Argentina is a pile of crap).

Cueva can't stop crying. Hasn't recovered from missing that penalty against Denmark. His teammates trying to cheer him up.

Very moving participation by Peru. No super stars but well-coached, gritty players. Lots of talent. Amazing fans.
 
Interesting games to come... Nigeria-Argentina will be fun to watch... Argentina needs to score so it will open up Nigerian counter attack which they showed they have a great potential to finish. Iceland can't sit back vs Croatia, they will need to try to score as well, they beat them once in European qualifiers which certainly will give them confidence that they can do it again. Croatia on the other hand almost guaranteed first place no matter the score ( unless they lose big and Nigeria wins big) so they may rest players with yellow cards or play less inspired than in a do or die game.

Nigeria counter attack is deadly. And remember they beat Argentina 4-2 a couple of months ago. Really exciting game and the pressure is on Argentina. On the other hand, Argentina always pull off games like this, after playing poorly and on the brink of elimination. Hopefully thats not the case today and get eliminated. Also, Argentinian fans and journalists are insufferable (along the lines of clutchfans).

Okay, time to grab a beer

dalamon, why Serbians are making a huge deal with Shaqiri and Xaka celebrations after goals? Whats so insulting to Serbians with Albanian eagle demonstration?

both players are from Kosovo originally-- Serbians are just being soft, and they're mad that they lost. I guess they felt that the players were taunting them with that nationalistic display. Serbia cannot get over losing the territory of Kosovo, it's quite ****ed up. Go through any Albanian player's social media and it's filled with KOSOVO JE SRBIJA

GET ****ED!!! I wish we hadn't lost our best striker of this generation to cancer. My kingdom for Dylan Tombidies today.

That said Peru scored two wonderful goals. At the moment we just can't produce strikers.
 
I want nothing more than Argentina to lose. All their fans in Turkey are douchey af.

Iceland tied. The games are going to be exciting from now on.
 
****. Argentina scored. Need a goal from Iceland or Nigeria.

Crotia scored too. Things aren't going my way.
 
Argentina always do things like this. You need to go for the throat, kill their hope. Nigeria could have scored. Argentina now become dangerous, although France is waiting them

Such a sad story

Regarding the game. Australia got Peru's defense scrambling in the first half but they missed some clear chances. A 1-1 would've been fair but in the second half Peru improved a little bit, just enough to secure the victory. This was a such balanced group, not crappy teams like in group A, E or G. That loss against Denmark still hurts
