كأس العالم 2022 World Cup Thread!

Bloody annoying to see so many of the hospitality seats still empty 6+ minutes into the second half.

 

Frustrating the amount of empty seats full stop imo. It's a world cup ko match ffs.

 

Unfortunate timing of the whistle there.

 

Boom

 

Quality finish.

 

Bednarek on

 

Oh wow.

 

Mbappé is scary

 

Mbappe masterclass

 

Who?

 

Should we beat Senegal, we've got to get physical with Mbappe. Put some early crunchers early in on him.

 

Hell of a fire drill been in progress for the last 5-10 minutes

 

Be interesting to see if Walker can match his pace.

 

Phew, had Lewandowski as my away scorer!

 

The awarding of penalties by VAR has become a complete lottery and an utter joke. It follows no discernible laws if football, just a completely subjective impulse by a set of incompetent officials.

 

That re-take gives me some good bonus points in the prediction league!

 

Very dubious retake! Looked to me like Lewandowski stopped rather than having forward momentum, which is why Lloris was off his line. Fortunately it doesn't matter

 

It’s not just the raw pace, it’s the slowing down and sudden acceleration that kills defenders. Can’t see Walker staying with him, but hope I’m wrong.

 

Joke of a World Cup. Can’t believe it’s on in winter.

can’t even be arsed to go out for it.

 

I'm enjoying the winter vibe of it tbh. Would happily alternate between the two.
