World Cup Social Media Roundup: Day 13

The first two matches on Tuesday were not very exciting as France and Denmark had a goalless draw to protect their round-of-16 spots and Australia did not come to play. The next two games, however, nearly gave me a heart attack because it was down to the wire for Lionel Messi's survival in the World Cup. Holy sh*t is all I can say about the Argentina match. 

Here's the best of the World Cup social media action from Tuesday.

Peru Fan Almost Becomes Most Hated Man At World Cup

An almost evil Peru fan almost became the most despised man at the World Cup as he nearly stole a shirt that was being given to a young fan by Tim Cahill, the Socceroos striker.

World Cup Social Media Roundup: Day 12

Today marked the begining of the end for the group stage.

Oh, Argentines. You have such a flair for the dramatic.

This morning on TyC Sports, the broadcast crew held an on-air moment of silence after La Albiceleste’s pitiful 3-0 loss to Croatia. It’s sad and hilarious on a multitude of different levels.

Senegal And Japan Win The Award For Best Fans At The World Cup

Senegal and Japan both had plenty to smile about yesterday. Both sides were tipped by many to be on the losing end of things in their games against Poland and Colombia, respectively, but they surprised just about everyone by taking home three points apiece.

You’d expect the fans to be going absolutely bonkers, right? Well, it turns out Senegal and Japan have the best fans at World Cup 2018. Sorry to every other nation, but it’s true.
