FIFA World Cup Russia 2018

Football isn’t easy at all. But with the costumes it would be at least funny. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

As long as I don’t have to play, this would be Ok I think. But then the goal keepers have to wear a Ransome like hairdress and a red balloon - and the other players either a Sexy Riker or a Madame Morena costume.

As I wrote above: If dice are involved, then I’m in.

If she smiles no one is watching at the ball anymore. Same with @PiecesOfKate

If you would like play football in this forum we could play football chess:

Or something like this:

That’s why we’re on different teams, to balance things out a bit :wink: :sparkles:

I would go for the second one!

But if you both constantly smile, you and @PiecesOfKate are the only two active players! :wink:

There are several other (interesting) football board games. I’ll search for a board game for more than two players. (In the 80s there was even a board game that needed the computer to play, but I can’t remember the name at the moment…)

Ok, I’ve got a good strategy here…

@Guga - at some point you will get the ball, when you do, do a big boot up the field - this way we don’t have to do any of that proper football stuff in the middle of the pitch…

@PiecesOfKate - your job is to then fly through the air and do an overhead bicycle kick…

…meanwhile, I will be running down the middle of the field carrying @milanfahrnholz on my shoulders. This way we’ll be a good 3-4 feet taller than the surrounding defenders and @milanfahrnholz will then head the ball from @PiecesOfKate into the goal.

JOB DONE.

Don’t worry, everything has been thought of… @Frenzie and @cvalenti will become a “human safety net” to break your fall.

Don’t be afraid, you german forumers. You’re in good company!

While Sweden survived the qualification at the expense of Netherlands, then the play-off against Italy and now wins the World Cup first round overcoming Germany at points! That’s impressive.

I only saw the last 15 minutes or so of the match and that was the best/most important part:
(Spoilers below)

Korean player blocking a ball with his lower abdomen
Korean goal! 1-0 Oh no! Offside! 0-0 Oh wait! Video ref! 1-0
German goalie leaves goal and looses ball to Korean dribbler…2-0
6" extra time => whistle at 99"…

Oh guys, there’s a typo in the team formation:
coach’s name should be Ronaldo Gilberto da Silva!

Seeing how many of the matches were decided in the last few minutes, I propose to drop the first two halves and immediately start with the stoppage time. It’s also good for TV, as they can show more commercials that way.

Now where is my medal?

I’ll probably buy a bunch of extra Belgium underwear from Zeeman. :stuck_out_tongue:
