(The dirty) World Cup 2022 Thread [R]

As Owen Goal puts in the third.

 

And now the 4th. The Swiss are going to have to Buck up if they want to get to PKs.

there’s a start at 4-1.

 

I didn't realize that Pepe was still part of the Portuguese side. Such a dirty player.

 

And he's older than Millie I think. Yikes

 

Felix speaks English?
Sign him up Jurgen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

That's a lot of faith in an average Netherlands team.

 

MC - no change? KdB is out since the first of these, correct?

Or does my memory fail me...again...(just ask my wife...)

 

Last time I saw Holland play the Argies I was on a barge on the Rhine sitting with the Dutch crew watching the WC’78. Sad night for them.

 

Yes, 1 minute left before it went to extra time and Rob Rensenbrink hits the post. Game of inches indeed.

 

Yes! Forgot that. That was a great final, btw.

 

Interesting internet facts and stats.


Since winning the World Cup in 2010, Spain haven’t won a knock-out match at the World Cup Finals.

Since winning the World Cup in 2014, Germany haven’t played in a knock-out match at the World Cup Finals.

Since winning the World Cup in 2006, Italy haven’t played in a knock-out match at the World Cup Finals. (In that time, they’ve reached at least the QFs of every Euros, winning it once & losing in the Final once).

The next chance Italy have to play in a World Cup knock-out match will be 20 years after Zidane’s headbutt.

 

Well, I HOPE you are wrong about the 4th one, and Ronaldo, Bernardo and Bruno can all fvck off....

 

Argentina are playing The Netherlands soon…

“The worst manager he has ever had? He’s one of the few players with this opinion. I find it sad he said this. Memphis [Depay] had to deal with it too at Manchester [United], and now we kiss each other on the mouth” – Louis van Gaal hits back at Ángel Di María’s criticism.

Liverpool sit in 8th w/ under 1,200 minutes played by our players. We'll move up to 6th by the time the tourney is over.
But the scum, spurs, chavs, and citeh all have played 2-3x the minutes our players have.

 

Pretty sure we all expect Brazil to beat Modric and the Croats (will Lovren get some PT?)… but who will make it through between LaOranje and the Argies?

 

The Oranje have looked better with Memphis back in full time, but I don't expect the Argies to leave him completely uncovered 12 yards from goal like some other team did...
