I was Hungary so I got a Turkey dipped in Greece

Got me hopes up prematurely for the Aussies vs the USA 

With the unfortunate performances from England and Scotland, I feel the thread needs a joke to brighten our days.

Good one.

Ah well, nil all draw against Paraquay, but it gets the Aussies through 

Turkey's goal @98:45 with +7 was one of the most ridiculous losses I've seen in a while.

Quute enjoyed Ecuador beating Germany and Cape Verde ' s two drawn games

My wife says I seem to have a knack of influencing games by turning on during a game, as invariably someone scores within a minute or two. Turned onto Ecuador last night as they were setting up a corner......just saying!

I trust you've sorted your Sky Sports subscription for next season Mr Champion. 

Proud to have been a Gooner for over 50 years, and not quite so proud of being a Sky Sports user for almost half of them!

I`m quite pleased how well Cape Verde are doing.

All right boys: let's do this!

I want the USA of course all the way, but wouldn't mind seeing your boys got off that 60-year "schneid" and take it all.

I'm at Tottenham fan so let's go Harry even though you left me years ago. 

Not the world's biggest footie fan, but we both watched last night's game. DR Congo were, on the whole, excellent, their keeper was incredible. As for England, I think we lacked a little something, and took far too long to get going. Kane did his usual trick of appearing to do nothing for the entire match, until he did, well, something. His second goal was immaculate, I thought.
Am I getting up early for the Mexico game? Nope.

Bit of a disaster for the Aussies this morning.

Argentina - Cape Verde had to be the best WC match I've seen... in ages? Ever?

Those guys played their hearts out.
