    my current GOAT narrative:

    1 Richie
    2 Kareem
    3 Bill Russell
    4 Lebron
    5 MJ
    6 Magic
    7 DC
    8 MJ (obviously Michael Jones)
    9 Maradona
    10 Pele
    11 Ronaldo
    12 Messi

    Messi not even Top 10. Poor.

    No Bo Jackson?

    A rake down the back of the leg/achilles hurts even more

    a personal favourite when you wanted to hobble someone in a ruck. Ah the 90s

    You have to wonder how much of a connection Messi actually has to Argentina these days. He moved to Spain when he was 12 I think and would be lucky to spend even a couple of weeks in Argentina per year.

    Online commentary says Aussie drew level with a dubious penalty

    Nothing dubious about it, clear handball. The ref took a little while to check it but got the correct result in the end. Awesome to see Aus get the draw and stay alive in the competition.

    It'll make the inevitable choke against Peru all the more delicious

    Fucking Neymar buys a penalty. Gets overturned on VAR. Good call.

    Not sure who I am supporting.

    I like the legend of Brazil and they're creating a shitload of chances and good fun to watch.

    But good on Costa Rica for hanging in. And the Brazillians starting to dive anywhere near the box.

    Iceland go down 0-2 to Nigeria. That is a massive lifeline for Argentina

    Late win for the Swiss makes they and Brazil the masters of that group. Cracking game that one, Serbia started fast but Switzerland got stronger and stronger. And it broke the record for a World Cup game with the most great left pegs. Shaqiri, Xhaka, Rodriguez, Kolarov, Tadic, Matic

    The preposterous situation of banks of Brazil supporters in the stands in the background in their yellow, banks of Costa Ricans in their red. Standing out clear as day.

    While on the field all blue plays all white, because ....... I don't know ? They both have blue shorts in their first kit?

    I fucking hate FIFA.

    Have the all whites been playing in every singles game in this tournament?

    Apparently skyblue and white stripes also clash with red and white checkers.

    This shit matters to me, sad I know.

    They used to do that to take into consideration people with black and white TVs. Farked if I know why they do it now.
