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

[goatwack]

Been having a little think about WC's gone by and international teams in general.

Conclusion is that it is amazing how our parents (more so fathers) rub off on us and influence future thinking.

No reasons personally for not liking teams such as Argentina, Germany, Uruguay and a few others but having sat and had a little think about it have several memories returning of my Dad saying negative things about these teams and I've without really thinking about it until now carried on this train of thought and feelings towards said teams.

I'm the same - it just gets cultivated over many tournaments. There are teams that I can't bring myself to like, either through conditioning, or pre-held footballing animosity!

Holland is one such team, partly out of a footballing rivalry, but also from witnessing Rijkard lob a loogie at Voller in Italia '90. It's then one realizes 'these teams are never gonna respect each other!'

Pretty indifferent towards France's recent successes, and pre-2016, found their brand of football just lethargic (Did no one SEE them at France '98? They were legit terrible)

Argentina I don't mind really, nor Italy, Portugal. Those bloody Spanish teams though....

Yes, who can forget that awful throat oyster strung out in Voller's mullet perm, the dirty c*nt Rijkard should've been banned at least 10 international games, preferably for life. Or made to do the same to Duncan Ferguson.

The first thing that came to mind reading this was "just don't mention the war"

Yep, you're spot on.

Woop

Whoa, Whoa, Cost-a Ri-ca rule ??

 

[goatwack]

Morocco literally have Bono in goal

Let's hope for Belgium he doesn't have Lucifer's Hands

 

[goatwack]

Morocco gooooooolllllll!!

Belgium really playing like Belgium

 

[Video_Poker_Pro]

belgium was shit when they played against canada and should have loost that game, Now they show that they are not a star team to do some damage in the cup.

 

[goatwack]

Lovely second goal

 

[justdoit]

great game by Morocco

 

[Jono777]

I am wanting Spain and Canada to win the next two matches today......

Which means anyone having a punt on these games, bet on Germany and Croatia, virtually guaranteed

 

[goatwack]

Canada goal!!! After about 3 seconds!!!

 

[Jono777]

Eating words already, tasty as I am used to it ?

 

[goatwack]

Noooooooo

1-1

 

[goatwack]

Poor, poor Canada

Great team goal, mind

 

[justdoit]

Croatia not in rush,

 

[justdoit]

Canada goal!!! After about 3 seconds!!!

they lost my ticket in 3 sec ?

 

[goatwack]

Well that's bloody cruel, isn't it

Unfortunate Canada

 

[Jono777]

Too cruel mate.

I'll give Croatia this though, no pussy footing about the moment they get a sight of goal, it is in or at least on target, unlike some teams I could mention!

 

[Jono777]

Beyond cruel, I'd have booted that wide out of respect having already won!

 

[justdoit]

Croatia pro play

 

[goatwack]

Now for that tense part of the evening that could affect everything

Yes, it's the Strictly Come Dancing results!

Yeah, if there's no foreigners they'll simply fight with each other. If there was no Wales fans, the England fans would have their intercine battles.

It's a night of celebration for me as Thrush & Chlamydia are doing their final show and the shite will be off our screens for another year along with the gibbering pillocks.

 

[goatwack]

Look at Spain. They look positively petrified

 

[sufferinsilence]

Don't think we have a chance in hell beating Croatia so it's game over for a generation. And it's about time some of the current squad are retiring, or forced to retire, from the national team.

The very poor match vs Canada should've been a wake-up call.

 

[goatwack]

Phew. Screw you Spain

Also: Come on Spain! Beat Japan please!

 

[Jono777]

Phew. Screw you Spain

Also: Come on Spain! Beat Japan please!

Any result which gets the Germans out pretty please.

I'd like Japan to progress from the remaining 3 as I can't see Spain messing up now.

Would like maybe 2 even 3 'underdogs' to make it to the 1/4 finals, just not at England's expense

I was initially angry, but then realised I don't like Germans either. So you're 'aight

 

[Jono777]

Always get a little bit upset when I see these on my posts " "

Thankfully I will go for a smoke and be all better when I get back

 

[Jono777]

Perfect reaction, as anticipated, cheers boys!

Edit: After thought, not seen Paul all bloody weekend then pops up out of nowhere stirring the pot as always

 

[goatwack]

I tried not to be that predictable, but Paul roped me into it. He's a bad influence

And anyway, these are pleasantries compared to the Brexit thread

 

[paul7388]

Paul has been around all weekend just not posting. But always like to show my support.

Hardly watched any of the world cup just having a relaxing weekend. 4 weeks now since i worked and kind of getting used to just doing nothing at all lol.

 

[paul7388]

double post

 

[goatwack]

No wonder he's unemployable. He double- posts!

 

[paul7388]

No wonder he's unemployable. He double- posts!

Wow that hurt.

Anyway i am employed again. Just still got another 9 days till my first day in new job.

 

[justdoit]

my next week bet, lets hop this one will last more then 3 sec ?

 

[pereblue]

For today some interesting matches:

Brazil vs Switzerland : Will not be easy to beat Xherdan Shaqir's Team...
Portugal vs Uruguay: Will Cristiano Get their Super-powa pills again ?

 

[TheAddict]

my next week bet, lets hop this one will last more then 3 sec ?

South Korea have to be the most tenacious team in footballing history. They'll make up for their deficiencies with sheer determination, and run themselves into the ground doing so, every WC!

2-0 down here, give 'em a sniff of a goal and it just renews them. Two goals in five minutes, it's now 2-2!

Don't bet against them winning the match......

Aaaand Ghana score. Forget all that I said about S. Korea

And it's the first time I quoted myself. Next I'll be referring to myself in the 3rd person. As goatwack would say, "What a wanker"

 

[TheAddict]

betfair and sky are clearing up nicely with the super boosts. took a fair few and lost probably 7 or 8 out of 10 iirc. Kane& saka or saka and sterling 1sot each n last game?. nope. F. Torres 1sot last night at evens?. Nope. Richalrison 1sot today at evens? Nope. Next "superboost" surely gotta be for any useless c*** on the entire pitch to get 1sot?

 

[goatwack]

If Bruno Fernandes decided to take a penalty like that against me, with all the hopping and side-stepping theatrics, I'd pick the ball out of the net, calmy walk over to him and 'sweep the leg'. Tournament over you pompous ****

 

[mack341]

They shouldn't be able to do all that stop and start jittery stuff. What about Ronaldo, flexing his biceps like Hulk on the basis of scoring the 1st goal which didn't even touch his head

Great player over the years, one of the best, but come on he's got to accept the passage of time.

 

[Jono777]

Early predictions for tomorrows "Crunch match"

England will win but Bale will defo score at least one against us.
