The World Cup 2022 Thread

It was no worse than Messi’s, or any of the penalties in fact, apart from one Dutch one that was low and in the corner. It’s a crapshoot, and as long as the pen is on target, it’s all about what the keeper does.

Here they are, all saveable by that standard.

Virg's was curling towards the post but Martinez jumped forward and saved it at least a metre of his line. Had he gone the wrong way it would've looked a really good kick. May've even nestled in the side netting. Goalie played a blinder

Croatia seem happy to take the games to penalties now if they can't win in 90 mins...their gk seems to be doing his homework on penalty takers

[Norbs]

They've a decent chance of reaching the final and will have no issue in making it in to a borefest

I think the winner or tonight's game between France and England will be the eventual winner. It was been a massively underwhelming tournament, watched it out of complete boredom.

Only the Guardian could publish an article entitled:

Lionel Messi: an emblem of the transient fragility of human beauty

The quality of football has been questionable but it's been hugely entertaining

I think people have short or selective memories. World Cups are always like this.

Morroxo 1-0 Portugal....what a cock up by Portugal

[Charly]

Normally a lot of the houses near where I live, and cars all have the flags out.

But nothing...

Its a non-event.

Zero ****s were given.

Ronaldo watch: Portugal’s captain is nowhere to be seen, having left the pitch and marched off down the tunnel in tears moments after the final whistle.

No player has ever won the World Cup, Champions League, Premier League, FA Cup,world club,uefa super cup and League Cup.

If Netherlands win Van Dijk would become the first.

If Brazil win Alisson and Fabinho would become the first.

If England win Trent and Henderson would become the first.

This is going well

So, based on some of the chat on here this game is one of the first I’ve watched all the way through. The female anchor and summariser (ex player?) are great on this in my opinion, and fit in well with Souness and Drogba.

And the comms tonight with McCoist and Champion is as good as it gets it’s just like sitting listening to 2 mates watching a game.

And Morocco were immense. Not sure who he is but their number 4 Amrabat had an incredible match.
