World Cup 2022 FIFA 2022 World Cup (Qatar) - Who will be the Winner?

[goatwack]

I take offence at the lack of respect shown towards the cultural phenomenon that was the vuvuzela.

When everyone, and I mean everyone, was churning out droning en masse, as even papers gave them away! hooooooooooooonk!

But in this WC, my resounding memories will be of Messi's negligee, and Macron stanning the broken French players. We know Gallic types like to embrace in a public show of affection, but the man's taken it to new heights post- Brexit....

It is possible I am looking through rose tinted glasses what with the World Cup finishing less that 24 hours ago, but all the games I watched I thoroughly enjoyed. Stand out teams for me were the likes of Japan and Morocco, plus Iran for beating Wales was a major plus as well

As for the final, yes looked like Argentina were going to walk it for the first 80 minutes and were noticeably weaker once Di Maria came off. But the final 40 mins was just different class. Much much much much better than the drab 1 - 0 finals we have been served over the years!

I agree that the Final was one of the better ones in recent years in terms of spectacle. Almost..... scripted

Well, enough Bitcoin accounts were funded to secure the World Cup there, i wouldn't be surprised to find out the same accounts were used in the final

It's Budweiser i feel sorry for

"Wassssssuuuuupppp!"

"Not a lot actually, good fellow. Qatar has prohibited our trade. That is what's up. I bid you good day"

'we want your money, but we don't want your beer'

Actually, that's an insult to beer as Budweiser is horrid

Years of being ok with their sponsorship money, then, on the eve of the WC, forbid the sale of alcohol

Genius

Only one at the time, but Spain 82 is the one my Dad used to go on about as the Benchmark for a Final/Tournament - he was a big fan of Rossi, may have clouded his judgement

 

[pinnit2014]

It's like they legitimately stole from some of the sponsors. -morals and culture were bent at the time of securing said sponsorships but then.....nope, can't have that here: with such opportunism and greed, who do they think they are: Saudi Arabia?

Old World Cups eh

I would like to add something.

It was a great cup for sure, even in the eyes of someone who watches only Euro or world cups and hasn't got a clue what is going on out there in general. Bookies made a ton of income thanks to the top football countries, Germany, Spain, and Brazil, losing against relevantly weaker opponents. Even those who placed a bet for either Argentina or France to win - all lost! Because of the equal score within 90 minutes.

It was one of the most unexpected WC, but with an incredible final.

Whatever accounts were funded, but the players showed a very spectacular football. Worthy.

I wish they'd fund my Unibet account with some Qatari money - i'd certainly cut a less goofy figure than Gary with my Glens Vodka and Irn Bru
