Champagne Moment of the World Cup

[BS7Bee]

Probably the final whistle after the England V Mexico match.

Thiago starting for Brazil.

Can't think of much else!

 

[Les Beeavinu]

Cape Verde's brilliant 2nd equaliser against Argentina was a jump out of the chair moment.

 

[nick logan]

Kanes second v DR Congo , limbs in beer garden unreal , Mexico final whistle , Gordon v Fifatina . Cape Verde , Columbia v Ze Germans . Scotland

 

[JANORAK]

Spence provided several (I can’t believe I’m writing this) in a Kayode-style charge up either wing and ‘how did he do that? what’s he doing next?’ moments.

Several of France’s goals were absolute gems of passing, movement and precision. One of their goals (or Spain’s?!!) involved all eleven players before being scored without any opposition touches.

Fernandez’s suicidal 2nd yellow/red card yesterday, pretty much sealed Argentina’s fate in the Final.

 

[Chomp]

Messi’s tears.

 

[aawharris]

Spence challenge vs Argentina

 

[halibutbee64]

argentina not winning the world cup.

 

[KenCootesNephew]

France 4 England 6
Not particularly significant but brilliant fun to watch

 

[Hullbee]

Seen the GPG come through a tournament with lowest number of people banned

 

[Themepark]

The cartwheel that led to the second yellow in the final

The cartwheel that led to the second yellow in the final

Did you not think it was a foul?

 

[Themepark]

Did you not think it was a foul?

Oh, it was absolutely a foul. And a yellow.

But a player who's been yellowed for dissent (conceding an IDFK in the process) sends someone four feet in the air almost the same way Alan McCormack did having only forty seconds earlier come on after a lengthy injury and getting a second yellow for it [Only Macca didn't even concede a foul]?

Delicious.

 

[grepo]

The 6 goals for England and the 4 for France. The highest goal scoring game, ever, in the World Cup. Well done England and well done France for won of the few really entertaining games in this World Cup.

There were loads of really good games

 

[horshambees]

Ferran Torres goal last night against a team looking to win on penalties from the first seconds.

 

[GlasgowBee]

Cabo Verde's second goal, a sensational goal and wonderful celebration into the crowd. A magical moment!

 

[plymouthbee]

For me its Messi crying at the end ,it was a joy to see.

 

[fencer/bee]

For me its Messi crying at the end ,it was a joy to see.

To sum up the final it has to be " the beauty and the beast "
Thank God the beauty won !

 

[Simon W]

On the pitch, Harry Kane‘s second goal against DR Congo.

Off the pitch, being at the infamous night at the Londoner pub in down town Dallas and chatting with Olivia Buzaglo!

 

[Les Beeavinu]

Thank God the beauty won !

Not 100% convinced on the beauty bit to be honest

 

[Scratchy]

The final whistle blown by the referee in the final to bring this mediocre tournament to an end.

 

[IslandBee]

The whole Mexico/England game was an unforgettable event. The 2am start was a struggle but made it that bit more special. And then there's was the Azateca.

It was a brilliant performance by England, especially after the sending off; full of grit, character and no little skill. It will live long in the memory.

 

[Hullbee]

First few games I enjoyed were refreshing with the refs taking a hardline on play acting, time wasting, throws ins being taken quickly and letting play continue rather than falling for the diving and throwing one’s self to ground nonsense, also like the rule about getting of the pitch if your injured. I thought those games were decent to watch as a result. Unfortunately as the tournament progressed it seemed they had forgotten about the new enhancements and it all got a bit sh*t and slow.

 

[Ashford Bees]

Mexico match. Watching in the pub in the early hours and staggering home in daylight.

 

[Peteseeger]

Rodri shooing the orange one away so Spain could celbrate

 

[FarnhamBee]

Champagne:
Djed Spence refusing to shake Partey's hand.

Flat beer:
Declan Rice love in with Partey after that game - he's a f***ing rapist you tw*t!

 

[To Bee Someone]

The image of French and English players in a huddle the other night.

 

[JANORAK]

The image of French and English players in a huddle the other night.

I wondered what that was about. Has there been any explanation? I mean eg, they weren’t all from the same club…

 

[mhead bee]

All 5 of the victories, they all had moments of celebration you only get when you win a WC game. I don’t care how we play if we win. The relief of the Kane goals versus Congo.

A special highlight was the hand of god, from Jude to the little Argentinian pricks head.

Praying

 

[JANORAK]

Praying

Ah, thanks. Didn’t think of that as I usually pray alone, even in the company of others….

 

[SpiderBee]

The 6 goals for England and the 4 for France. The highest goal scoring game, ever, in the World Cup. Well done England and well done France for won of the few really entertaining games in this World Cup.

Hungary 10-1 El Salvador 1982 - Hungary 8-3 West Germany 1954 - Brazil 6-5 Poland 1934 are all 11 - but the most was Austria 7-5 Switzerland in 1954

I was thinking there’d been some really big scores in dim and distant games. The stat quoted might be ‘highest aggregate score in a 3rd place game’. The most I can see previously was 9 - France 6-3 West Germany, in 1958.

 

[bexleybee]

The Mexico manager: “Hey Gordon! f*** you!”

 

[gamidov]

Scotland beating Haiti 1-0 and acting like they were going through, USA beating Paraguay and thinking they were going to win the whole tournament, Scotland trying to play it out from the back against Brazil, Scotland calculating all the permutations on them going through to which none happened. Wissa missing a sitter against England, Argentina losing the final.

 

[grepo]

Cabo Verde and their Goal Keeper.

 

[Ashford Bees]

The Mexico manager: “Hey Gordon! f*** you!”

and both of them laughing afterwards

 

[KenCootesNephew]

The Mexico manager: “Hey Gordon! f*** you!”

... and Gordon getting his phone number

 

[gbems92]

Argentina rattled beyond belief after the final and their salty salty tears

 

[Voice from the Braemar]

England winning in Mexico by a country fkin mile

Honourable mentions…..argy gits losing final, Cape Verde 2nd goal v THEM gits, and Scotland going out with not even a whimper
