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

[pinnit2014]

My dream of England being in the final

And Messi hand balling a winner in, are in jeopardy.

 

[Webzcas]

It's a done deal. 2-0 Argentina with 20 minutes left

You after my Kevin Keegan / John Motson hat? ??

 

[pinnit2014]

Have the Dutch tops got less orange and more tangerine over the years?

:Gok Wan

 

[goatwack]

It's not as dark as previous years for sure. It's for modern audiences, to have it more in keeping with Nickelodeon

 

[goatwack]

Argentina hit the woodwork in the 120th- minute

 

[goatwack]

Ok, Holland are screwed. Two pens botched!

 

[goatwack]

Argentina through! What a game!

 

[pinnit2014]

Hollands last 2 belied a pretty rubbish performance by them - was like watching Man U back in 2013/14

Glad the Argies got through, even though they've hardly any legs left in them

I imagine that's how Brexit was fed to people...oops wrong thread

 

[dunover]

With tactics being planned for tomorrow's crunch game and where every fine detail is scrutinized to get that edge, it's therefore crucial to weigh up both teams' WAGs, as this could make all the difference......

I make that 1-0 to France

I can't make out the first French one - did 'she' win Masteurchef Francais? TBH they're all pretty plastic with the centre-parting-false-lashes-flesh colour lipstick-Trump tan-plastic tits uniform. Like a modern-day Boys From Brazil theme.

Messi still has every chance to become the best in this WC ?

Argentina and Brazil didn`t seem to take the matches very seriously. The Argentines have come to their senses thanks God.

Would be pretty swell if Morocco were to triumph today, for African football if anything. They'd sing about this day for years to come

Then comes the small matter of overcoming free-scoring Portugal of course. But with Morocco's mean defence, they won't have it as easy as they did against the porous Swiss.....

Let's go Morocco!

Portugal doing some scintillating side- passing on the halfway line

 

[goatwack]

Morocco!!!

I am staying silent until approx 9:30pm!

Why wait that long? Here's a sneak peek

 

[goatwack]

The script's written for Ronaldo.....

 

[mack341]

I thought like the Harry enfield character 'you don't want to do that' when Portugal scored 6 against the swiss. These things like goal scoring average out, and free scoring has never been their forte since ronaldo's heyday and luis figo etc...

Prepared to get egg on my face but looks like mor vs fra/eng semi final 2 and arg vs croatia...could there be an arg vs Eng final??

 

[goatwack]

What a save by Bono. It's a beautiful day!

 

[goatwack]

Morocco down to 10 men, with six minutes of injury time left!

 

[goatwack]

What an unbelievable, historic result

 

[spoo42]

Wayhey well done morroco, bye bye Ronaldo and co.. finally won my bet lol

 

[Jono777]

The shocks just keep coming in this remarkable WC!

WTG Morocco

 

[Video_Poker_Pro]

Its ok ronaldo you can cry now

 

[justdoit]

The script's written for Ronaldo.....

 

[sufferinsilence]

Crying all the way to his $200 million a year contract in Saudi-Arabia ?

 

[goatwack]

Hard not to feel a bit sorry for him, at least. When you consider the lack of respect shown to him at both Man Utd and the national team, after all he's given them.

Somewhat sad to see a generational player hounded out at this tournament, and be reduced to full-on, uncontrolled blubbing. For some reason the 'greats' always end their careers badly, a la Zidane and his super-headbutt and so forth.

But Ronaldo'll be fine. He'll probably retire from international football and lap up his Indian Summer in SA ?

 

[bamberfishcake]

As an English fan still torn from that winker getting Rooney sent off, I must say I am bitterly disappointed Ronaldo Portugal got knocked out.

That's a World Cup win for me.

Go Morocco!

 

[goatwack]

Bloody hell English fans are bitter. Whatever happened to "Whatto chaps, let's roll our sleeves up and give them a good game! Tally-ho!"

I miss the days of England being among the best teams in any competition but having an affable group of players that always conspired to underwhelm, and somehow make themselves the underdog ?

 

[Jono777]

Nerves are shot already, reaching for the Kalms as I type.....

Whole body head to toe is praying this does NOT GO TO PENALTIES.....

Come on England!

 

[goatwack]

Let's go England!

 

[sufferinsilence]

I just want to point out that Belgium was in the hardest group of them all: both Croatia and Morocco have made it to the semi finals.

 

[dunover]

Oh FFS! There's more chance of Chopley turning leaver, Liz Truss of coming back as PM and Lord Lucan delivering this year's Christmas Day speech in lieu of King Charles than there is of England beating a top side like France.

See you lot back here in 2 hours for the post mortem of England's WC - again. (like 2018, 2014, 2010, 2006, 2002, 1998)

I'm hedging my bets, got the footy on the big telly but also got a slot running and playing Sniper Elite 4 at the same time on my PC, so I can adapt to whatever happens. (i.e. If England are clearly going to lose I can lean more into the slot/videogame side of things.....)

Still, you've got to hope, haven't you? There's a world when England can win this game, let's hope that's the world that manifests itself this evening

I thought I was the optimist around these parts

 

[goatwack]

Oh my God

 

[goatwack]

What a shabby, scuffed shot

 

[sufferinsilence]

They might be coming home lads..

 

[paul7388]

Vive La France.

 

[goatwack]

Never write England off. Not as long as they have Maguire

 

[goatwack]

VAR check!

 

[paul7388]

Book the diver.

 

[goatwack]

The most nonchalant wave-away of the hand by the ref after that VAR check, as though he was inconvenienced

 

[goatwack]

That Griezmann is like a footballing Merlin I tell you

 

[goatwack]

England not the worst, but they could have really done without that goal. Now they're consolidating and playing it safe.....

Only one trying seems to be Saka. Problem for England now is that they'll have to throw the kitchen sink at them in the 2nd half, leaving them prone to counter-attacks, as France'll be happy with that gameplan.

So it will end up a thrilling 1-1, or France will pick them off each time and rack up a cricket score

 

[ChopleyIOM]

The problem is I don't really see where our goal is going to come from, and we now need two to win the game outright and avoid the CURSE OF PENALITIES.

I'm no football pundit but to my amateur eyes France seem like the more together team across the pitch, and are putting more chances against our goal.

England were looking better towards the end of the first half I think, but we need a goal reasonably early doors in the second half to give us a chance.

If France score again it'll be all over, I fear.

Still, another half of the match to go - let's hope for the best!

 

[Luckyscouser45]

Contrary to belief. I am a scouser who does support the England team. I am appalled that the goal shouldn't of stood and kane should of got a penalty. I think we can come back but we need a quick goal second half to get back in the running
