The 2022 World Cup Thread

Not sure it’s a great idea to bring somebody on called Disasi with 3 minutes to go….

I fancy the Argies on pens if it gets that far. Don’t know why.

Why?

 

[LandOfHoopsAndGlory]

No, No, NOOOO! Make them play on.
No penalty shootout!
I don't think anyone wants this to end like that.
These teams deserve to win by goals in reg. or extra time. Not by pens. shootout.

 

[sb_73]

Why?

Good question.

 

[qprbeth]

It is just wrong that this has been an exceptional world cup.
I hope no one loses...because it just wouldn't be fair

 

[Hoop-Leif]

Mbeppe to miss his penalty in the shoot-out?

I think you maybe right SB.

 

[Tramore Ranger]

This is mad.... chances at both ends...

What a finish....

We go to penalties...

 

[Sooperhoop]

Penalties then, Argies should be kicking themselves if they lose this...

 

[rangercol]

Unbelievable stuff.

 

[Stroller]

Sensational stuff.

 

[LandOfHoopsAndGlory]

Just a hunch, but pretty sure Messi will go down the middle in shootout.
He has history in this WC.

Rio Ferdinand on Messi & Mbappe..

“In a final like this you just want the two best players to go head-to-head…

…and they’ve just gone toe-to-toe.”

 

[Uber_Hoop]

Unbelievable stuff.

Sensational stuff.

Come on lads, which one is it? (Part Two)

 

[LandOfHoopsAndGlory]

Mbeppe to miss his penalty in the shoot-out?

That would be a new entry in dictionary for "Irony".

 

[LandOfHoopsAndGlory]

Mbappe same place again. Still beats keeper.

 

[LandOfHoopsAndGlory]

Too easy for Messi.

 

[Sooperhoop]

Messi risky pen...

 

[LandOfHoopsAndGlory]

France MISS!

 

[Sooperhoop]

Martinez saves...
