Who did the Aussie goalkeeper think he was? René Hiquita?

As for today, I've got FRA 1-0 over POL and ENG 2-1 over SEN.

C'mon, lads!

Attending every WC since 98 and I am in Doha now.
First time all matches are held defacto in one city. So its atmospheres are totally different from any previous WCs. Not only 2 team fans but all fans from around the world gathering here in Doha. Such a great vibe. Like everyday the stones showday.


As a Japanese, this is the best WC experiences ever.
It is more 100 times difficult than stones show ticket to get a match ticket though...

Japan should get the wc again…! Rugby world cup was so special.

With only one difference, most Stones fans leave a show happy. Not at the World Cup. Many fans leave angry and disappointed.

I think England should invite Bill Wyman and Mick Taylor as subs.

C'mon, lads!

well today is a special day.

my team France will play vs Poland.
I think we can win but we'll be suffering. Poland will stay at the back waiting for France to attack and then...

My bet is 2 to 1 for France.

England - Senegal : 2-0.

Good luck to each team.

Yep. It would just, since they already have Stones.

And the Dutch have Taylor in the team already.

Horrible defense by Poland. How do you leave a striker wide open in the box? A breakdown in basic fundamentals.

He was pouting until he got his first goal.

Nobody really cares about France, they have yet to face a real quality opponent in this tournament.

Mbappe already 9 goals in two World Cup

True, for every other team, we'll see tonight with England...

Senegal was threatening and England was wavering a little, then England finally breaks through with a couple goals including a nice two on one with Harry Kane booting it in just seconds before half. Senegal is now toast.

It looks like the underdogs do not have much chance in this round. The big are big, and with their experience, do know how to win, even not playing so great all the time. But the next round, the quarter final stage, will be exciting.

Yes you know this is the son Of Mick? He lives in the north eastern part of the Netherlands in a village called Diever. I used to go to the high school there. But Mick didn’t lived there at those days.

A little shaky in the beginning, but we roared convincingly thereafter. France will be tough, but I have to believe. At least the German’s are out, so a penalty shootout won’t be so daunting!

Kenneth Taylor is not the son of Mick Taylor. And I doubt he is interested in Shakespeare.

Well, the Lads keep on keeping on, convincing win last night.

FRA-ENG will be a good one for sure!

As for Monday's matches - could we see Japan upset Croatia?

Brazil will just annihilate South Korea, I'm sorry.

ok Toru A, we understand that you're very happy that the ball was in play but it's time to switch to something else, don't you think so ?

yeah let's carry on playing.

Japan - Croatia : 1 - 2
Brazil - South Korea : 2 - 0

of course, no warranty as usual

Japan is on the board. 1-0. A nice fake corner kick (2nd try), carry out and pass inside for the goal.

From Topi (first part)

(Netherlands have never won the World Cup. They have, however, won the European Championships once, in 1988.

In fact, the Netherlands have the most World Cup final appearances without a victory! They finished second in the 1974, 1978 and 2010 World Cups, losing to West Germany, Argentina and Spain respectively.)

My answer

Thank You Topi rubb it all in…. I know we didn’t win.
1974 the best team ever, not winning a World Cup
1978 Very close within the dying second of the normal match ball on the post And we were not allowed to win against the home team. The beginning something with the bandage of Rene van der Kerkhof on his whrist, he played the whole tournament with, but before the match he had to change it. And what about the 6-0 against Peru? That was odd, at least. But in extra time Argentina was better
2010 Not the best team with some horrible kicking around players (kung fu ) But Spain scored from a situation where the ball should have go to a Dutch corner, but Spain got ball instead in and in the following attack they scored. Mr. Webb had more strange decisions….. He send off Heitinga and didn’t send off Puyol for a similar situation. He could and should send off De Jong, our Kung Fu man, but he didn’t Not saying we would have won though

Croatia sends a nice header into the corner of the net off a long strike. Tied at 1-1.

Christiaan : "1974 the best team ever, not winning a World Cup"

yes totally agree, I was very fond of this team, my favourite one.
I was just eleven years old and I remember as if it was yesterday.

Lots of admiration for Cruyff, Neeskens, Rep, Van Hanegem, ....

Can we say they deserve to win ?

Japan passed off two beautiful scoring chances late when they should have taken the shot. Looks like it's going to PK's.
