June 16, 20187 yr COME ON GLORIOUS ICELANDIC VIKING WARRIORS (I'll be happy if they avoid losing, those 4 minutes before the equaliser were heartbreaking xx) How can you not understand football :P
June 16, 20187 yr How can you not understand football :P He probably only watches it every 2 years in the summer but not at other times of the year.
June 16, 20187 yr Correct xx I'm only interested in football to cheer on the underdog countries at the World Cup / Olympics (and the Euros to some extent) :kink:

June 16, 20187 yr Author I'm guessing nothing happened in the first 15 minutes then between Croatia and Nigeria?
June 16, 20187 yr Own goal for Nigeria now *_* Rooting for Croatia as I have them in the sweepstake :kink:
June 16, 20187 yr I've got Croatia in my work sweepstake, so yay for that first goal. Also Jade - snap!
June 16, 20187 yr I am rooting for Nigeria. Feel a bit sorry for them after the own goal, and besides, its about time an African team had a good result in this World Cup, after Morocco and Egypt lost. Edited June 16, 20187 yr by The Snake
June 16, 20187 yr Author Was quite dull the first half hour where Jon Champion and Ally decided to talk about water polo hats and the stadium shrinking.
June 16, 20187 yr Author This was the first game in the 2018 World Cup finals to not see a single shot on target in the opening 45 minutes
June 16, 20187 yr I'm not sure what I want for this group honestly. Iceland is great of course and they played really well but Croatia and Nigeria are also sides I'd like through. Though it doesn't look like either team are doing THAT well here.
June 16, 20187 yr This was the first game in the 2018 World Cup finals to not see a single shot on target in the opening 45 minutes Surely the goal was on target and that was before 45 minutes! Or do deflections not count? :o
June 16, 20187 yr I am rooting for Nigeria. Feel a bit sorry for them after the own goal, and besides, its about time an African team had a good result in this World Cup, after Morocco and Egypt lost.”about time” it’s been like 2 games. Simmer doon pet Surely the goal was on target and that was before 45 minutes! Or do deflections not count? :o Own goals and penalties do not count as shots for the game statistics! ^_^
June 16, 20187 yr Nigeria are shocking, Croatia look timid. Iceland play like a Conference side being drawn against a Premier League team, but I fancy them to go through tbh.
June 16, 20187 yr CAF are so far the only confederation that's played games and have collectively scored zero points (no CONCACAF matches yet and OFC aren't here and also aren't a real confederation). And given the next African match is against England (which even us fickle underdog people won't entirely support) that leaves it solely on Senegal for who we're hoping to get something for that continent. But then Egypt could still easily recover and Senegal have a much more interesting team than Nigeria. I've seen a lot about the Nigerian kit but not really anything about them having good players. And they haven't shown that tonight.
June 16, 20187 yr Yes I think Egypt will get better in their next match, and yes Senegal are supposed to be a good side! It's been European team dominance so far!
June 16, 20187 yr I'm guessing nothing happened in the first 15 minutes then between Croatia and Nigeria? Not a lot happened in the remaining 75 minutes :zzz:
June 16, 20187 yr Disappointing match and result, I guess that's us pretty much out of the competition now. Croatia have no chance of winning the World Cup anyway so I wouldn't get too excited if I were them.
