Not sure if I should post it to the jokes thread or here but anyway... This low budget cosplay guy:

Gosh, that orange face...

According to Turkish media (don't know their source) Liverpool is in for him.

My question is, as I think it is unclear or I am missing in the article, was this happening before Trump or it started after Trump?

Those Russian planes are f...ed up. I remember I was flying from Luhansk (the city was a part of Ukraine back then) to Kiev. It was an old Russian plane from the time of WW2, modernized but you know... I remember the screws next to my seat were moving and screaking. I don't trust Russian planes.

Agreed. It is WC, a win is a win but Maguire and Lingard will cause problems if they perform like this.

probably, they are everywhere. easy to see when camera close-up.

This. This guy is talented and a prospect for the future for sure. Mexicans are also passionate about football and it can draw attention to the club, in the end, it will be good financially as well.

Did anyone notice those little flies all around footballers' head? Must be annoying and distracting...

Thank god you are playing against Tunisia guys, those Maguire mistakes could cause 2 goals already.

What a stupid elbow it was

England playing good, dominating...

One word: inspirational.

Neymar is being Neymar again, so selfish but Brazil is the biggest contender in the tournament. I am not sure about Paulinho, that's all for me.

Yes, he is another prospect and looked good in the match. I am also expecting a big-money move for him.

I know right? Argh, I wanted to see him in the blue shirt before WC, so badly. It didn't happen.

Lack of strikers caused Germany a win. They never credited Klose enough (until late of his career) but they are going to miss him. Timo Werner, an over-rated player for me so far, can't believe how Loew let him play 90 min... (Opinion based on this year's Champions League - Bundesliga & Today's Game) Lozano, my golden boy... He scored as I was expecting. I hope we can see him at Everton this year.

Agree with its smell, disagree with the cooked meal. I like it. Yummy

He is going to start against Mexico today.

Maybe "vanishing" is not the best description but clearly, people (including me) thinks that he is getting lost to make an impact under the same/similar circumstances. I mean, when everything depends on them. I think the reason is, Ronaldo is mentally stronger than Messi. He is more focused, adapted to succeed. Besides Messi-Ronaldo thing, I don't think Argentina is at its best because of managerial issues. I mean look at Portugal, their super-sub is 34 years old Quaresma. Hot prospect Guedes was terribly bad and Quaresma was the first option. On the other hand, Argentina's super-subs are Higuain, Dybala etc. My prediction is, they are going to fail again. Not sure if Messi going to declare his retirement from International football again.

Actually, both are great. Why thinking as Ronaldo is better than Messi, means someone jumping on a bandwagon? Ronaldo gets bigger on bigger occasions, Messi cannot do the same. He vanishes, it is the fact. He cannot produce without his masterminded friends at Barça. This, that, something else can be a reason for it but there is a fact I'll tell ya as you guys mentioned it as well; even though Ronaldo is looking better at the moment, Portugal is playing as a team. Argentina is more talented individually but you cannot win WC with a one-man show. That's why I think "Messi and Dybala cannot play together" is the dumbest manager thing I've ever heard. It was written all over once that Messi doesn't like Dybala and he doesn't want him in the squad. Argentinian managers are puppies of Messi, I believe he is making the team sheet. Underlining again, both are great but I'd like to see Dybala & Mbappe on my team instead Ronaldo & Messi, lol.

Peru was better but cannot say Denmark did not deserve it. (If it ends like this in last 10 min.) It was the most entertaining match for me so far.

I think the opposite. Messi's teammates were always better than Ronaldo's. Portugal team is not talented as Argentina team is. Of course, it is not Messi's fault that they cannot perform but his performance is also far from being any good.

Hmm, didn't know that but it sounds more ridiculous to me Anyway, I don't like Argentina. They always have talented players + 1 or 2 superstars but no team spirit.

Messi again, going to be a huge disappointment. Of course, it can not be considered after 1 game but this is why I've always thought Ronaldo is better. Also, I just don't understand why Dybala is not on the pitch? Maximiliano Meza is there but not Dybala? Interesting choice...
