Match Day Thread World Cup 2022 Qatar Official thread

Cultural thing innit.

China will probs catch up in another decade because they are pouring big money into the game

But India is a cricket nation and the Yanks do all sorts of funny things with their balls

 

They call their egg chasing game football and they play with their balls using their hands

So they are not to be trusted with any of this

 

7 for us i think

 

I was just gonna say cos they can't ball fam

That stopped years ago .

 

Pinkies stream aint got there yet

 

Dont Forget the Yanks have a World Series for all of their ball games, but only American teams can take part so the World Champions are always American

Must be some form of inferiority complex

 

In America the world starts in New York and ends in Los Angeles.

 

These days I think it is the other way round

 

It depends which way you're facing

 

Looks like daytime temps will be around 30 deg C and then falling to 25 ish in the evenings.

Good job it's their winter.

 

not in the NHL there they get brave and have all of N America

 

reminds me

i wonder if Roofus turned left or right at his gate

 

Ponky ... England's only hope of real success lies with Madders and Grealish... true wildcards / game changers ... not your B-tech Shilton and Bobby Moore

 

DW played in all the Euro finals games for Wales (and did OK) and, whilst I've admittedly been critical (early season), is actually THE in-form Prem keeper over the last couple of months ...

PS have you got any taking part in the tournament?

 

Buzzing for this. Nice to have some proper football back.

Think we'll have a poor tournament this time round (3 semis in a row would be mental) but looking forward to it as a whole. Not many of our players are in form and I think we'll struggle with the quick turnaround with no chance to acclimatise. Especially playing Iran first who will be used to it and who've had a normal build up with pre tournament friendlies etc

Think we'll still scrape through the group but it'll be similar to 2010 where we're awful and barely deserve it. Beat the yanks and draws with Iran and Wales.

Argies or Brazil to win it & Senegal my dark horse. Denmark to continue to prove they're one of the best sides in Europe (remarkably some people still don't see that) and possibly win their group ahead of France.

Also fancy Canada to shock a few and Wales to get through group. Belgium won't go beyond last 16. Spain will do best of European teams.

 

Two, for Senegal and Morocco.

 

They aren't defenders either Flossy.

At least you know they play for England I suppose

 

Poor Roofie, he wasn't a happy man

Probs for the best that he fed a family of bears in the end.

At least some good came of it.
