Game over: Comrade Casino*s World Cup team Vs. Uruguay

Last edited Mon Jun 25, 2018, 11:56 AM - Edit history (5)

That's right. The republicans are drooling with #sportfever as their beloved team, the Russian Sbornaya face Uruguay's Charrúas on Monday morning (US time).

In submission to their ignoble misleader, Comrade Casino*, republicans will turn their back on American values once again, and cheer their russian comades on to победа - despite the fact that all 17 US Intelligence Agencies agree that russia screwed over our 2016 US elections with ACTS OF WAR, and that now in 2018 russia is perpetrating further ACTS OF WAR against US democracy. Tragic Treason (R)

1. Because russia is perpetrating ACTS OF WAR on the USA

I feel it would be radically unpatriotic for me to root for russia, like Dirty Donny* and his KGOP republican kabal. Just can't see supporting a nation that has attacked and is currently attacking America with cyber warfare and pumps of putrid, racist, dividing propaganda.

republicans can go piss on their own kremlin-backed soccer boots all alone. I'm going all-in for The Charrúas ! Viva Charrúas !

Will no one else cheer for Uruguay today?

Has the KGOP republican-russian kabal so dominated & intimidated The American Mind with hyperwave brainwarp digital propaganda, that only one brave soul will back the Charrúas in their epic Copa Mundial clash with the Evil Empire*?

as their favorite team was disgraced 3-0 on their home field before the whole world. Playing dirty (republican family-values style) did not help their cause, nor improve their reputation in the world.

Congratulations Uruguay!

11. Actually by losing they 'won' as they avoid the death side of the bracket

You are now looking at a potential 8 teams on the side Uruguay is now on of:

Uruguay
France
Brasil
Germany
Spain or Portugal
Argentina

Belgium or England (the winner of that final group stage game, which I actualhope we lose)

Colombia (probably Colombia) or Senegal (either of those 2 if Japan beat a woeful Poland side)


The other side has only 3 truly strong teams:

1. the winner of the Spain/Portugal group (Spain being by far the better)

2. Croatia (who will play Spain or Portugal in quaterfinals thus only one of those 3 goes through)

3. The 2nd place team of the Belgium/England group

I want us to lose to Belgium

So our road to the finals only involves one truly hard game (the semi-final ie. probably the winner of the Croatia v Spain/Portugal group winner)

13. They will probably go out next game anyway, whatever side they

would have been on. They will face either Spain or Portugal. Portugal they would have a wee shot at, Spain zero chance.

Its the 2nd knockout game that they dodge France or maybe Argentina (I fancy France to beat whoever they play in the round of 16).

As an England supporter, I am very happy if we slide over via second place. Belgium is thinking same thing. No Lukaku, Hazard or Mertens v England. Maybe more stars on the bench. They claim all of the first 3 are injured. I have my doubts. Southgate should empty the bench. Kane will demand to play as he wants Golden Boot (he is in lead with 5 goals in 2 games).

14. Thanks for the insights, Exotica

You have a much more sophisticated appreciation of the game, and the competition than I do.

As a citizen of a nation currently still under digital-warfare attack from Russia (as all 17 US Intelligence Agencies agree), I just wanted an opportunity to piss back at russia and our republican traitors with some SMACK TALK.

For no rational reason other than that they are our good neighbors, and the russian-backed republicans are pissing all over our neighbors with their stupid wall and a thousand other unjustified indignities, I am actually rooting for MEXICO all the way !!

They will have to beat Switzerland (probably) in the round of 16 to get to either us or Belgium.

should be a good game either way!

cheers
