We Are The Reds

It appears they have moved the start date forward by a day so Qatar can play the opening match against Ecuador.

No thoughts for the Ecuador fans who purchased flights, paid for hotel rooms and tickets to the match. FFS.

I've started a WC thread in the Socceroos section.

Here we go ...
The football starts today.


Come on Australia!

Hope Qatar get flogged, lose every game and go out in the group stages without scoring a goal.

Qatar 0 - 2 Ecuador

Full Time

Hope Qatar get flogged, lose every game and go out in the group stages without scoring a goal.

Given that this was, on paper, their easiest match of the Group Stage you may yet have your wish.

England v Iran tonight which should be a good game. FIFA has banned the "One Love" Captain Armbands that several teams were planning on using, however several European sides have said they will wear it regardless.

England 6-2 Iran

Final score.

Anyone getting up for the football?

Oh yeah!!!! Can’t wait.
A draw would be an amazing result.
A loss by a single goal (considering it’s the current world champions) would be ok..

Yes pretty happily take a 1-0 loss to be honest. I don't think there is any coming back from a 4-0 thrashing. Hopefully there are a few early tournament nerves and niggles for the French.

Wow. Just wow. Saudi's second goal was a thing of beauty.

Wow.

Argentina 1-2 Saudi Arabia
Final score.

There is hope!

Come on Australia!

Denmark 0-0 Tunisia
Final score.

Interesting.

Both Tunisia and Denmark will be tough to beat.

Quietly confident of a result tonight. Think we will put in a good showing.
