Give the ref a fucking taser. Jaysus all that up in his grill business is a blight on the game. Light some fuckers up and throw in some cards.
For all it's a beautiful game football can be bloody hard to like.
Well done England!!
I agree. I thought that ref deserved a beer after.

England is the football team I support along with The Gunners.
So you were supporting Ospina in the penalty shootout.
Twice in one night I agreed with the ITV commentator saying "Tottenham v Arsenal". Apart from the bit of sick in my mouth, I was very pleased with the outcome

@rocky-rockbottom do Brazilian fans care about his antics though?

Brazilian isn't exactly synonymous with masculine is it?
-
@taniwharugby if the potential rest of the world audience thinks he's a douche then that'll definitely impact his sponsorship options. Unless he's ok with taking the piss out himself in a satirical marketing campaign.
-
@paekakboyz but apparently the demand of AB jersies in NZ is why we pay so much more than anywhere else in the world, so one assumes the same applies for the Brazilian kit...plus it is a shitload of exposure.
I dont agree with it, I hate the overacting which is why I barely watch any soccer at all, but I'd say it needs to be the officials that need to stamp it out, Sponsors are gonna do it, if Nike (or whoever his sponsors are) tell him to pull his head in or they'll ditch him, I expect he'd have a line of other sponsors ready to fill the gap, unfortunately!!
-
@taniwharugby I was thinking more of his personal sponsorship opportunities. Agree that his antics are unlikely to impact team kit sales... although if they did that'd be a pretty big deal
-
@paekakboyz still don't think it would hinder his own endorsements, it's Neymar the Brazilian star not Neymar the diving cheating faking prick š

Neymar earns ā¬865,000 per week at PSG, excluding any endorsement deals. He's not starving either way.
He's a young flash fluffybunny with tats and fucked haircut with a ma-hoosive profile. Kids fucking love him. And the people who eat up soccer endorsements don't give a flying fuck about his antics. He's all good.
Massively over rated as a player though. No way he is worth what PSG are paying him.

Having never earned ā¬865,000 per week, I'm not sure I'd waste my valuable downtime doing endorsements.
At best I'd take retainers not to shit on their products. Until I did, and then you could elect not to pay the next month's retainer.
-
So 4-4 in predictions that round
I'm going
France
Brazil
England
Russia -
Do goals scored in penalty shoot outs count towards the Golden Boot?
If so, Kane is going to be hard to beat

If I earned that sort of coin in about four weeks Iād have no septum left after hoovering enough coke to kill a family of polar bears of hookers arses .

In terms of skill, there's not a footballer at this tournament who is remotely worth what he's paid. Even Ronaldo who actually is quite skillful. Most of them you can't trust not to blast the ball over an open goal.
Mind you, Mark Zuckerberg basically gets paid a Ferrari every time he takes a shit, so the inequity is relative.
