News: Other Teams - WC 2022 / International Edition (R)

Qatar are now out, LOL
gonna end up being worst host ever and easy 3 pts for any team.

 

This is the problem with a nation that has never previously qualified hosting, you cannot expect them to compete with nations that have players with experience in top 5 European Leagues.

 

imagine Dutch trust a 23 y/o Gakpo who scores back to back.

but we can't trust 29 y/o Fullkrug.

 

Picking in form players, especially in a mid season tournament with virtually no preparation makes a lot of sense. Flick seems to be picking some players on reputation rather then current form.

 

Even the current German team will beat them. Yes, you heard it right..this current toothless German side lol.

 

Flick said he want to build a team for the future but Muller playing for almost an hour v Japan.

 

Yep, makes the reasons he gave to leave Hummels out seem like bs. I would much rather face Spain with Hummels at CB then without.

 

Im disappointed in Flick to be honest. Theres no difference from what Loew was doing to this. And it was actually loew who integrated Musisla any way, so basically Flick has done sweet eff all!

 

Fullkrug has to start on sunday otherwise hansi has a ego issue thats not be challenged!

 

If Flick doesn’t pick Füllkrug and we play the same way and lose again, he should be fired.

 

Bierhoff should be fired too.

 

Bierhoff should have been fired a long time ago.

 

Enner Valencia is only around 1.77m tall but he seems very dangerous in the air.

 

Enner Valencia possibly out of the WC now and Gakpo also limping

The teams are obviously targeting the opposing teams main players

 

Ecuador and the Netherlands draw 1-1, thus confirming Qatar's elimination, lol.

So far the Netherlands have looked unconvincing.

 

Stretchered off to the sideline, then walked to the bench

 

Dutch are likely through as last match is Qatar for them.

 

Pengland are such a snoooozefest.

USA hit crossbar too.

 

England have never beaten the USA in a World Cup. By the look of things that is unlikely to change tonight.

 

The Americans are similar to us. They have good build-up play but no goalscorer. They are most likely getting eliminated in the group stages like us.

 

England is sooooo bad.

they are looking like how the looked vs Hungary.

 

I think I'm gonna go out for a workout. This match is making me fall asleep.

 

if I'm honest this has been a pretty dull-boring WC.

only a very few interesting matches.

I put some blame on this being a November WC instead of June end of season and no team had much time to prep.

 

50 minutes since England's last shot. Catch it on ITV+1 soon if you like that sort of thing
