World Cup 2018

[Audax]

Russia certainly got hammered by Uruguay.

I'd say, you don't care who you meet, just prepare to be ready for them after this is over. I think Russia has played rather well in this game.

I'm not sure you can accuse 23 people of taking 'banned substances' based on stats. And you didn't answer my question which one of the Fake News media outlets do you work for?

There's one problem there, there is no such company as Russia Today. So more false information.

The athlete whistle blower will do for me. Why would he say that if over 300 athletes from Russia have been banned? Ah no, you know better obviously. I bow to your superior patronising know nowt knowledge

It's called RT which equals...? Let you fill the answer in if you are able

[Audax]

RT, Russia Today, it's a website, TV station... I know that much. It is Russian state media.

But I say, there's plenty of time to discuss doping, this to me, sounds like a windup....but have at it if you care.

Russia has had a very good World Cup,  no matter how this ends up.

The Moscow Times is an okay news outlet: https://themoscowtimes.com/

2-2 wow .. Russia fight back ! 

[AdamRochina]

Kinda wish the equaliser came a little later as I fancy Croatia to snatch a win here as Russia look so tired at the back 

[Audax]

Russia almost scored a game winner there..

[AdamRochina]

Penaltys .. wow ..anyone's game now .. but Croatia to go through twice in a row on penaltys after looking poor?  Or a spirited Russia side to make a semi final after been given no chance .. excited times ?

[Tom]

Imagine one of these teams getting to a World Cup semi final!

Modric is a class player but two average at best teams on display here. 

Not sure which is the most desirable but it may be prudent to avoid any Russian drama 

[Audax]

You can tell from the Croatian fans' faces, they don't care for the penalty shootout while for Russia, it means, they cling to life. I think I have an idea how this will go... but I don't want to jinx anyone. I'll say later on.

This is not a wind up. Check the stats, check the whistleblowers comments. Tarnished by corrupt FIFA and Putin. The nerve agent attacks weren't state sponsored? Get real

No one said the poisonings were not state sponsored,  maybe I did not follow what you said close enough, this is such an exciting game.

[Tom]

Russian player just dinked it the same way as the keeper went, what an idiot 

[AdamRochina]

Poor penalty from hero to villian from fernandez

[AdamRochina]

Major flukey penalty. Croatia pretty much sneaked through .. looked so so poor tonight though. Beatable 

[Tom]

That Russian who dinked it will feel that one for the rest of his life, you just can’t do that and miss at this stage.

[Audax]

I thought Russia was going to win the shootout,, Croatia advances, I don't think it matters who you meet, be prepared..... Russia were absolutely awesome at home except vs. Uruguay.

[AdamRochina]

Croatia are the team I can't stand in this cup I don't know why .. like Portugal in the last euros .. they just seem to go through while playing like crap ..Denmark better team lost on penaltys ..Croatia can't beat a spirited Russia side through on penaltys .. I have a feeling England croatia will go to penaltys dunno why ?

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

Not a great deal between England and Croatia apart from the fact they have Modric. If there's been a better midfield player in this competition I haven't seen him. He's been immense. Tugay with pace. 

He's the difference between the two teams. As long as he's on the pitch they must be favourites.
