World Cup 2022

Eden Hazard is atrocious nowadays. Lucky he still gets picked for Belgium.

Clearly had too many tapas nights in Madrid.

 

Canada lots of endeavour and bravery but in the end insufficient quality 22 attempts on goal only 2 on target tells the story unfortunately.

 

Today is a day to be thankful that Mark Lawrenson was pensioned off

 

GKN making his World Cup debut

 

Bentancur vs Son up next.

Uruguay are my dark horses for the tournament, first chance to see if I have any clue about football or not.

 

So far my day has consisted of being woken up by a cat hurling itself on me like a speeding cannonball way earlier than I usually wake up, having to rummage around behind my TV to find the one plug I needed to unplug and plug back in again to make my Fire Strick reboot, and a Switzerland match

There is no chance of me being compos mentis before tomorrow morning, is what I'm getting at

 

Uruguay first ever winners of the World Cup in 1930.

 

Oh, that debate was done long ago (spoiler alert : he has < redacted - damn you, mods !!! > ) ...

 

There's a watchalong on our Youtube channel

...which I remembered is going to be automodded the second I hit post

 

Suarez and Andy Carroll reunited up front for Uruguay

 

That's a dirty challenge on Sonny

 

Betancur is such a good player, always makes something happen.

 

The Korea vs Uruguay game was a definite "must not lose"
for both sides, given the nations in that group.

 

Even Wolves with Ronaldo have trouble scoring.

 

Two and a half games today - 1 goal, so far.
Some teams (England, France, Spain especially) have looked entertaining but there’s been an awful lot of tedium in this first round of games.

 

Against a Chris Hughton drilled defence?

 

Teams are rightly scared to lose their opening game as it massively increases chances of going out.

 

Never a penalty!
