Official 2018 World Cup Thread

Anyone else have Fox stay on news and not switch to pregame when FS1 went to NHRA Zane directed us to local Fox channel? Fucking had to watch 30 minutes of Louisville local news like I give a fuck haha.

I'm streaming to my TV via Fox Sports online. The other camera options are pretty cool.

I have Fox from Columbus and they switched right over.

Messi! Lol

You can quote stats all you'd like Laley, but open your eyes and watch the games--the big games, not Barcelona vs Ath. Balbao--and it's so obvious Ronaldo is a better player than Messi. 

He's a basket case when it comes to penalties. Aguero would have put that in the net.

So, we just didn’t watch Ronaldo in the WC until yesterday? 

Messi is so bad at PKs. It’s really weird. 

Did you guys see Landon Donovan tweet a sponsored ad from Wells Fargo to root for Mexico? What a loser

I can’t stand chicharito

Fucking Germans. 

The one time I wanted to see Germany win and they lose to fucking Mexico smh.

Btw, if you have an HD antenna and you aren’t watching on telemundo, you’re doing it wrong.

I'm not sure mine picks up Telemundo, have to check.

Hats off to Mexico. Germany looked very average. I thought that bicycle kick was going in.

Germany, Spain, Brazil, Argentina combined for 3 points after their first game. Crazy.

And I think only Germany is in any danger...

Though Argentina needs some better midfield play.

Harry Kane! That was a great finish. Belgium vs England should be a really fun match with both battling for the top seed.

The header by Harry Kane was a thing of beauty.

Maybe I am just being a hater, but I felt like the goalkeeper was a fucking idiot on that Kane goal.

The announcers for that Japan/Columbia game were terrible in their commentary. This was the first time EVER that an Asian team beat a South American team in the World Cup...and they didn't mention that once. They said multiple times that Japan didn't play that well. And said that Columbia played well for being down 10 men. 

They might as well been two drunk Columbia fans on FOX announcing that game. 

The announcers as a whole are just off. Jorge Perez-Navarro is fucking annoying. Bring back Gus Johnson!

I'm trying to get my shit done at work asap to catch the Russia/Egypt game. I really don't want to see Russia get out of the group.

Russia putting one on Egypt 3-0 in the 70th minute

I watched the entire scoreless first half of Russia - Egypt. Fell asleep at halftime and woke up around minute 80 and it was 3-1. Because of course.
