2022: The World Cup Thread

[Karl Hungus]

saving this for when Croatia increase their record to 6 WC PK shootout wins out of 6 tries against England in the final

If you can't lose one to the Germans, the Croatians are a good second choice.

 

[hayvis]

Brazil was by the far the worst team I've seen this WC with the stereotypical "get touched and act like you've been hit by a sniper" flopping so fuck them

For the record I don't really like Brazil or Spain. I just loath Morocco and Croatia, and will be significantly less entertained by the games they subsequently play in

 

[Brick]

hayvis loves the blue bloods. surprising.

 

[bruin228]

I assume you hate Croatia because they actually know how to make a WC final this century

 

[hayvis]

Croatia is making the final. No way Argentina or Netherlands beats them.

 

[hayvis]

To be honest, I don't actually give too much of a shit about Ingerland, but the Croatian team are truly loathsome. I hate them for being absolute pricks.

Can't enjoy an underdog succeeding, SMDH.

 

[bruin228]

Hayvis watching Croatia hoist the trophy:

 

[Bmack]

like me @hayvis wants to see Entertaing futbol and classy futbol corch wardrobes.

 

[hayvis]

Nah. Give me Cameroon 1990. Wouldn't have minded them beating Ingerland then. Just don't give me the shitty meathead underdogs.

 

[Karl Hungus]

 

[Snorky's Shame]

In 3-4 hours you might be witnessing one of the most historic days in the history of the sport if the Dutch win.

 

[Yankee151]

Give me an all unique-winners final again like 2010!

 

[jamesnathan]

I love and cheer for Brazil soccer, but this makes it reel hard to watch their games.

 

[kella]

argentina's anthem is boring af

 

[Bmack]

Netherlandish corch looking great as always.

 

[kella]

does Argentina have a player over 5'6 that isn't the keeper

 

[Yankee151]

Hate it had to be Ake clowned on, but that was quite clean. MAHOMES esque no look pass

 

[DeadMan]

Holy fuck what a pass

 

[kella]

didn't realize luuk DE Jong was even still alive

 

[Bmack]

MESSY

 

[Bmack]

Bench clearing BRAWL!

 

[Bmack]

Why was there an Argentinian laying down k that free kick?

 

[goblue96]

GET FUCKED MESSY

 

[Bmack]

Such drama.

 

[Snorky's Shame]

Haven’t seen a goal like that since Sweden scored one against Romania in the 1994 World Cup.

 

[kella]

fuck Argentina

 

[kella]

big atholetes = win

 

[evil1]

Talk about the last drop of the last drink of the last saloon

 

[Karl Hungus]

We needed a big mong like Weghorst to throw in at the end, not Jordan Morris. Watching us put hopeless crosses into the box was just sad. None of our guys were ever going to beat van Dijk or Ake to those.

 

[BasinBictory]

Good thing Russia released Virgil Van Dijk in time to play in the match

 

[kella]

again, not bringing Vasquez just criminal

 

[OU11]

It’s wild that anyone would rather watch the CROTES than Brazil, I’m with @hayvis on this one

 

[silverwheels]

CROATIN SHOES

 

[bruin228]

These announcers are undoubtedly a bit confused. The play by play guy sounded genuinely outraged that MESSY wasn’t ejected from the game for minor infractions

 

[Yankee151]

This is one of the games of all time

 

[OU11]

Every time I watch penalties a team will absolutely shit the bed.

 

[Brick]

in brick's world cup if you cant determine a winner in 120 minutes + stoppage both teams get eliminated. BUMS.

 

[OU11]

MESSY will still lose the world cup, SAD

 

[Yankee151]

LAUTARO finally does something!

 

[Karl Hungus]

17 yellows... be still my beating heart.

 

[Yankee151]

Livakovic vs. Martinez in the semifinals shootout gonna be amazing. Over/Under 4 saves?

 

[Snorky's Shame]

17 yellows... be still my beating heart.

Kind of strange that the Dutch were also involved in the game with 16 yellows and 4 reds against Portugal in 2006.

 

[Karl Hungus]

Livakovic vs. Martinez in the semifinals shootout gonna be amazing. Over/Under 4 saves?

Ante Semitic vs Gonzalo von Heydrich

 

[Karl Hungus]

Kind of strange that the Dutch were also involved in the game with 16 yellows and 4 reds against Portugal in 2006.

Stranger still that Nigel de Jong missed that tournament!

 

[Snorky's Shame]

Boulahrouz was there though.

 

[Bmack]

What a glorious result for my 2nd favorite remaining nation, behind the magnificent muraco. 3rd fave is the English to match with also being @hayvis 3rd favourite.

 

[Karl Hungus]

Boulahrouz was there though.

Man, I would NOT have bet on Mark van Bommel making it through that game after getting a 2nd-minute yellow

[Irishman]

PKs are the worst. Play until there's a winner ffs or someone drops dead.

Go with field hockey's extra time rule: full field but 7v7 - some soccer player is bound to drop dead
