Nova Carmina Posted November 23, 2022 Author Share Posted November 23, 2022 The Costa Ricans have decided the normal level of challenge is insufficient, so they've adopted the controversial tactic of playing like headless chickens. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IbanezJem Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 3-0. That`s fine, I have some things I can do before the Belgians meet the mighty Canadians. Quite fancy that for an upset, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zepphead Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Just in the door after visiting my mother. Another big upset today ..... wouldn't have predicted that. I'll get watching now although it sounds like the Spain game is a done deal! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackhawkrush Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Sometimes you get Spain and France. Sometimes Germany and Argentina. Only why were the latter two 4am starts around here? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time wise for the UK the kick offs are a bit more civilised with the first games of the day starting at 10am. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's commitment for you. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zepphead Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 For f**ks sake! ..... I reckon we could gather 11 trusty TRF members together and beat that Costa Rica team. Woeful. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
