[Webzcas]

Yeah, every time i was typing the other day, England scored which, apart from the English , no one really wanted

I shall voice my Japan support with...

.....


....

You have my permission to be as vocal as much as you like come Saturday evening, from 7pm King Time.

Sacre Bleu!

Over the years, as someone from Northern Ireland who doesn't want to go South, i've always had a love/hate relationship with the English football team - mainly the media, over hyping average teams but also the horrid Rooney chips by the pool etc.

No doubt though, the calm and assured Southgate and the increased PR respectability of the Team, they are the most likeable Team over the last 25 years. And once they go out i do lose interest - even if it is someone not to want to win

Even Ian Wright is 10% of his previous irritation, though that has been replaced by Linekar and his woke mission.

Now, if only they could fire David Baddiel into space, i'd be happy.

 

[goatwack]

I know Modric is kinda spent but why take him off now?......

Could be the last time he graces any tournament

 

[pinnit2014]

Just feel throughout his career as if was capable of another level. -great player nonetheless.

What a player and wholeheartedly agree with you.

 

[Webzcas]

Oh my god!!! Come on Japan!!!!!

 

[pinnit2014]

What would be good would be:

Scotland win the world cup next time - by default/bribery, it doesn't matter: a win is a win

England, upset by the trophy being a mere meter over Hadrians war, decide: Fuck that, that's ours, you Jocko bastards.

England invade:

That's where it gets interesting

Scottish fans, well 50%, wondering: i think i'm Scottish but i'm also a Rangers fan, so what side do i fight on?

Meanwhile, Nicola runs for her life.

 

[Webzcas]

Has to be said this World Cup is building up to be the most entertaining World Cup of my lifetime! So open, so many upsets. Loving it!!!

Now the first penalty shootout of Qatar 2022

 

[goatwack]

I think Croatia will nick it on pens

 

[goatwack]

Worst penalty kick ever by Japan there

 

[goatwack]

Jesus Christ Japan

 

[goatwack]

Pretty unfortunate for Japan to go out like that, they deserved better. But those were the worst sequence of penalties I'd ever seen - they were all back-passes

 

[Webzcas]

See I John Motson’d Japan :-(

 

[Webzcas]

My dad had a saying it went like this. “My mum could have scored that!”

Awful penalties!

 

[pinnit2014]

Hit it hard, hit it in direction of the posts...that gets you 70% of the way to a goal

 

[goatwack]

Should be an easy 3-0 for South Korea

 

[Jono777]

Wow, that was a bit TOO quick!

 

[goatwack]

South Korea toying with them

 

[pinnit2014]

Wow, that was a bit TOO quick!

That's what she said

 

[goatwack]

Someone - anyone - do something to stop this. It's a complete mismatch and horrible to watch!

 

[mcgameboy]

Much as I liked Japan at this WC, I am glad Croatia got through.

I think they will be a harder nut for Brazil to crack than Japan would have been.

Harder nut for Brazil to crack.....chortle?

 

[TheAddict]

Vinucous jr, 1 more sot would have paid.
richarlison, 1 more goal would have paid.
1 more corner from either team would have paid. SK keeper tips it over for a corner in final minute and ref says FU.

fml

 

[goatwack]

Worse than the rout was Brazil's post-goal dance routines - they made grown men cry. At one point they even got their coach involved in the festivities.

And yes, he looked a right Tite

 

[Webzcas]

First 30 minutes of the Brazil vs South Korea game, Brazil looked and played like they were on another planet, let alone higher level. They were just quality and a joy to watch.

However, both sides of the draw looking extremely strong. If England don't win it ( They won't ) - I will be rooting for Brazil, purely based on the fact I have them in the sweepstake

 

[ChopleyIOM]

Here's the way England beats France.

I haven't watched any games up to now but I'll get on board for the quarter finals onward.

Fairweather fans eh....

Well I'm not really interested in football, never have been, I don't even support a team in a vague abstract sort of sense. (Back in the day (I'm talking the 1980s) I'd have said I was a Man Utd fan but the game has been so utterly and completely corrupted by money that I find it all rather distasteful.)

But that said, if the national side do well in a tournament, I'll watch them. (I'll probably have some slots going on a tablet at the same time though, in case the game is boring.)

 

[goatwack]

Moroccan fan using a cuddly toy monkey to simulate it singing the national anthem haha

- awesome

 

[goatwack]

Bono just made a crucial save in the 94th- minute. Unconventional goalkeeping - some might say he moves in mysterious ways

 

[LadyJelena]

Wow look at Morocco

 

[goatwack]

Spain coulda scored there.....in the 123rd- minute!

Penalties it is......

 

[goatwack]

Morocco two penalties up

This is crazy

 

[goatwack]

Morocco through!!!!

That'll teach Spain to lose to Japan and ruin everyone's tournament!

 

[Jono777]

Wow, did not expect to get in from work to this news (car radio does not work btw )

Seems a possible prediction is looking more likely in that "An Unexpected" will make the final, even win the darn thing!

 

[goatwack]

Portugal winning already, blimey

 

[LadyJelena]

Portugal winning already, blimey

Revenging Serbia

 

[goatwack]

Bullet header from the veteran

2-0 Portugal!

Engerland?

 

[goatwack]

 

[goatwack]

It's all over. 3-0 Portugal

Morocco v Portugal should be a cracker

 

[Jono777]

4 now!

Maybe I am too soft but cannot help feeling sorry for the other team when they get whacked (no pun) by this many goals.

2 night's running now there has literally been no competition. Praying Saturday doesn't be the same against us.

ooh 4-1 as I type...

 

[goatwack]

Portugal running rampant.......4-0. And to think there's still 35 minutes to go

Switzerland gave up the ghost after the second goal anyway, but in terms of sheer attacking verve, Portugal look sublime. Wouldn't fancy anyone's chances against them now, bar a straight shoot-out between them and Brazil.

And all this without Ronnie too!

edit : seems like what Jon said, Switzerland have got a consolation goal. Didn't even realize they'd scored - it's like their fans are muted

 

[goatwack]

For all his boxy frame and non-stop running, it's still a mystery how Gerard Pique went out with him all these years.

I guess Shaqiri has hidden depths not immediately apparent ?‍

 

[goatwack]

I haven't seen this much skilled finishing since Hairy Builders Get It Done III

 

[Jono777]

He won't want to miss out on the action and fun, I will give Ron, 5-10 minutes tops!

 

[Jono777]

Sort of right, I it weren't for that daft bloke running up and down the sides with a flag!

Edit: WOW!

 

[goatwack]

I'm sorry but these Portugal goals are outrageous

 

[goatwack]

Spain manager Luis Enrique sacked after guiding Spain to completely nothing, screwing up Germany's WC, and with Japan also out, leaving the tournament having ruined everyone's Christmas!

Though how Herr Flick is still in charge of Germany is beyond me. Must be a golden contract

Ole!
