    Does it work? Morocco were able to play it out from the back with no real hassle, ended up like Scotland gave over possession for no reason whatsoever. Not a fan either

    I think it's obvious some douche with a spreadsheet came up with it.

    If the Ivory Coast were taking their chances they'd be well clear by now.

    None of the contenders look that impressive, maybe it is coming home after all.

    watching big center backs and others collapsing on the ground when someone stands on their toes.

    Try Playing in the Phoenix Park in 1980s and lads with aluminium studs..

    Bunch of snowflakes

    Maybe it’s “coming home” at least we won’t have to hear that constant whine every tournament

    This has been a great game. No idea why he took a touch there though.

    Undav could be the one to lead Germany to glory.

    Sickening for Ivory Coast.

    I don't have much sympathy for them tbh - they kept making a hames of things in front of goal.

    They've Curacao next, a draw will be enough to qualify.

    Watching the Ecuador v Curacao match on BBC. What a miss by the Ecuadorian player. Clean through and he kicks it pretty much straight at the keeper. A world class save, according to the commentator. A world class miss, more like. Anywhere, but straight at the keeper and they'd be ahead.

    Curacao should have scored there, Ecuador are heading for the exit here.

    That was a shocking miss by Valencia for Ecuador.

    Ecuador hit the crossbar, it didn't deserve a goal. It was meant as a cross.

    3 and a half minutes of added time to go.

    Not sure about the penalty decision, but he went down very easily, Ecuador are effectively out of it now.

    It finishes 0-0. Great for Curacao, embarrassing for Ecuador.

    A landslide of goals expected.

    Looks like Ecuador didn't read the Room.

    Another famous WC point.

    If you just turned on the telly you'd think Curacao won the match.

    It finishes 4-0, Tunisia are out. Japan are 2nd, behind the Netherlands on goals scored. I think I heard the commentator say that Japan have become the first Asian team to score 4 goals in a World Cup match in 151 games.

    He talks at you, without any regard for the listener; if they're interested, maybe they might want to contribute.

    Met many of his kind a session or party, and you're just waiting for that break in conversation to excuse yourself to the bathroom. And at some point just have to cut across him.
