The World's Greatest Sporting Competition - The 2022 Qatar World Cup Thread

Man this team is annoying top to bottom.

Rat team.

 

Unfortunately

that’s what CONMEBOL is

it’s like a bunch of atléticos

 

i can't even with the audacity of argentina to complain about this ref.

 

I hope Croatia crush Argentina.

 

Hoping Croatia can prove me wrong.

I'm sad Brazil lost but I'd love to see Modric win a WC. I think I'd cry real tears.

 

Scum - absolute scum. I cannot wait for them to be humbled. But it seems they have the refs in their pocket.

 

uhhhhhhhhh.....

NPR can confirm the death of longtime soccer sportswriter Grant Wahl (@GrantWahl). He died today in Doha, Qatar while covering the Argentina-Netherlands World Cup quarterfinal. Story to come.

Massive news coming out of Qatar.

Grant Wahl who is the biggest journalist covering the US team and just a few weeks ago was detained by Qatar authorities for wearing a rainbow shirt has passed away after collapsing in the Argentina/Netherlands game.

Grant Wahl story is interesting

rip but just really weird turn of events

 

this was one of his last posts

NEW: World Cup Daily, Day 25. They just don't care. Qatari World Cup organizers don't even hide their apathy over migrant worker deaths, including the most recent one.https://t.co/WEKoMdSm3J

and then the guy dies at work

 

Hope this doesnt permanently scar Rodrygo taking pens.

 

The only team that is left that could potentially beat Argentina in the final is France.

 

Unless Croatia or France wins, this might be the first world cup in sometime which doesn't have an active Real Madrid player isn't on the winning squad. Really pulling for those two teams now that Brazil is out.

 

Look at how dirty he is; acts like a humble saint then shows his true colors.

Argentina are in fact Atletico.

 

I still don’t understand how Argentina finished that match with 11 players. What a collection of dirtbags from top to bottom.

Croatia deserves every bit of success but I think the train finally runs out of steam now. Gonna have to rely on France (ugh).

 

And you still continue to support these A-holes. Great!

Modric to other football teams be like :

Ramos doesn’t get fangirling refs around him though! If he were to commit one of the fouls Messi did he’d have been sent off! That’s where the frustration stems from. Messi should have been carded long before 120’.
