The All Purpose Other Teams Thread - Pt. III (R)

From now on, River(Or any of our domestic clubs )needs to slap a 50ME buyout clause on any youngster with any potential. Those could be haggled with rather than having them just triggered.

In fact, I’d stop dealing with Portuguese clubs. A mediocre league who gets the financial benefit of playing in Europe; where they exploit the economic issues that are happening back home.

 

Sounds like a home game for Peru against Australia in Qatar, lol

 

Game is a lot more even than I expected. Not sure what's up with Peru, they look nervous on defense.

 

Yeah, the game has been a snoozer. Peru are playing scared.

Indeed. I actually even heard the Canciones de Boca being played in the stadium.

 

It's funny how many people copy our chants nowadays. Even hear them a lot in MLS, lol

 

Wtf is Australia’s keeper doing

 

What a god damn clown. Australia is going to get crushed in that group. Peru at least he a chance to get out of that group but now? We will likely play the Danes(Granted, if finish first and they finish second).

 

What a choke by Peru. I don't understand why they played so bad today when they've been through the playoff before last time.

 

It was different this time. They played NZ last time around and they also had a game in front of their supporters. It was a god awful showing on their part. And Australia are apparently having a down cycle.

 

Color me surprised… There goes another River supporter showing his infatuation for Colombian footballers…

 

France lost another game today. Granted, I was watching the Peru match and did not watch the match. But I’ve looked at their fixtures and they lost at home to Denmark, drew in Croatia, drew in Austria and lost in France to Croatia. They won’t be able to win their group.


Denmark on the other hand.
Win in France
Win in Austria
Lost at home to Croatia
Beat Austria in Denmark.


They are first. They’ll be playing France again in the World Cup. They know each other well. I believe they were in the same group in 2018 but you would think France would win this group just on the talent or perhaps overhyped talent.

 

Germany was 10 win out of 10 in 2018 qualifier, then lost to Mexico & S Korea

Spain thrashed us in friendlies , granted its mostly second strings but they're one of top 3 fav, yet couldnt beat Morocco & Russia

I agree that to win the WC usually you have to be hitting a good form during those few weeks plus luck, 2002 & 2018 are good examples but 2010 & 2014 were won by a team that has been consistent for sometime. Even the finalists in 2010 & 2014 were both a team that has been consistent for more than 2 years, so I'd say between consistency & luck , it would be 65:35.

 

While I tend to agree with you that the World Cup is an entire different beast. It is a one month tournament and the team that gets hot and has a bit of luck wins it. But I think teams underperforming in these matches might be signs of what could come. I do not think France can just flip the switch when they please and glide past opponents. It could possibly be something more. I guess only time will tell.

 

Goddamit, we are gonna play France again in the round of 16, arent we?

 

France needs to get out of the group first.

And this is a 100M dollar player…

1536090849766948865 is not a valid tweet id

 

Whos gonna stop them from qualifying? Australia?

 

In 2002, France did lost to Denmark and also lost to their ancestor.

 

The good news is that Denmark and France play in the second match, which at times is considered the most important.


Australia… If they manage to draw v France, it will give them a single point.

Second match they play Tunisia… Well, you’d think they’d go all out and win… 4 points…


Last match… Denmark… gentleman’s agreement and they draw… 5…


France. Draw game 1.
Denmark repeats their victory in Paris, France still on 1 point.
France thrash Tunisia… 4 points.


Denmark. Open the World Cup v Tunisia. 3 points.
Upset France. 6 points.
Draw Australia. 7 points.


Denmark 7
Australia 5 points
France 4 points.


You heard it here first!

 

England got spanked 4-0 by.... Hungary!!! Every team is looking awful except for us, lol, im not even lying. Brazil is also looking ok and Uruguay at times too. The UEFA superpowers? Meh! They all suck.
Anyways, we are playing the most beautiful futbol rn.

 

Starting to think USA could win their group over England again, lol

 

Funny how their fans celebrates being in same group as USA. Last time they met they didnt win
