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

Crouch sometimes did his robot dance. And it was okay for an European or I should say Anglo-Saxon to do it.

 

Agreed. They gel very well and are dangerous all over the attacking third.



Glad to see Casemiro take part in this beauty.

 

I understand those Guinness drinking Irishman.

 

Once I saw this Brazil video I knew it was over. Their vibes are unmatched

They have something to fight for too.

 

You answered yourself. “Sometimes” is different from doing all the times, especially against the minnows.

 

Minnows or not, this is still the R16 of the WC. Brazilians dance in every game (friendly, qualifier, CA or WC) regardless of the opponent class.

I doubt Roy Keane would open his mouth if it was a white West European team doing the dancing.

What I truly find as "disrespectful" is the hypocrisy of the British media: promoting self-righteous neo-colonialist propaganda and acting as paragons of virtue and justice while importing 40% of their natural gas from..Qatar.

 

If Brazil don’t win I’m actually going to be disappointed. I’m Brazilian in this WC.

It just feels right that they win.

 

I love that they don't give a shit about what people like Roy Keane thinks. They also supported Vinicius when it mattered.
Awesome.

 

Yea

the dancing after vinis goal
Seemed a little off but just cuz they did it so late lol

like they celebrated and hugged and as everyone jogged back, they danced.

they need to get the timing right like Colombia did in 2014

 

I personally am not a fan of the dancing but they are fully entitled to do it.

Any celebration at all can be deemed to be disrespectful if you are thin-skinned enough. Running around and shouting “yes” after a goal could be taken to be disrespectful too. Presumably the only respectful way would be to apologise for the goal and commiserate the opponent.

 

It just felt forced and anti climatic at the time they did it lol

This is how you do it

 

Lol people are really bitching about Brazilian players dancing

And okay I understand it if it's the Brits. They are miserable about everything.

I grew up watching Ronaldinho dance. I'm glad these guys are bringing the dancing back and at the same time play the best football in this world cup.

 

But dancing after goals has been a thing after a while

I don’t get why everyone is acting as if this is something new lol. Just because it’s Brazil? Trying to find something to complain about

 

Probably because they can’t dance like that .

 

I think that’s why people don’t like it. I don’t remember Colombia getting criticism, instead love for their joy and happiness.

The dancing here feels so forced cuz they celebrate the goal normally and then stop to dance after the moment has lost its peak.


I think if it looks genuine, like a genuine moment of joy, people would respond better, but that’s just my view

 

England are favourites in their game vs. France, according to @FiveThirtyEight 👀 pic.twitter.com/zbBzqCWyDr
