World cup fred

Yep. Sending more bodies forward now but bit too late.

The real issue is that they're absolutely ****e and should never be at the tournament.

Still got the likes of Curacao to come yet too.

Can’t recall seeing such a negative football team as this Qatar side.

They are definitely trying to play a 'solid' game, but they don't look shambolic and uncompetitive like South Africa did in the opening game, just lacking much of anything going forward.

EDIT - Looks like it paid off.

I scored!!!!

 

[st_brendy]

Switzerland deserve that for not finishing off the game

 

[SaintsForTheWin]

And Qatar score

Is this the worst group there has ever been at a World Cup?

Wow!

 

[Libby]

Boom!!

Played it perfectly haha. Bullet header too.

Brazil v Morocco would be a decent game at any World Cup.

Netherlands v Japan should be a good one tomorrow too.

Agree decent games are a bit more sparse though, but I can easily pick some I want to watch. Thats said Qatar v Switzerland is definitely a 'I am watching this because I have nothing else to do' kind of game.

France v Senegal too, but yeah, thin on the ground.

It’s too easy sometimes!

Significantly heavier Qatar support there than I expected, theres only 300k actual Qatari citizens.

Aussies v Turkey could be interesting.

Proper EFL goal too. Love to see it.

That's a deceptively tough group too with Norway, rough for Iraq - but I suspect they might not be a walkover either.

Are they that thin? Scotland v Brazil, Spain v Uruguay, Norway v France, and there's always one team who will surprise.

I'm secretly hoping Norway do well. You wouldn't want to face them in any of the knockout stages. They could easily put a big team out on their day.

When there's about 8 million group games, it's a little bit slim pickings. But yes, you're right, there'll be some shocks (such as this game).

 

[Le Tissier's Laces]

Point really being, doesn't feel like there's much jeopardy in the group stages for any of the medium to big sides.

Is Scotland v Brazil a tasty game? That'll be a mismatch, especially in Miami.

Not sure how good Uruguay are these days.
