zepphead Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Fantastic! What a result! Finally the referee has come to the conclusion that even if he added another 20 extra minutes on, Argentina would still lose! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nova Carmina Posted November 22, 2022 Author Share Posted November 22, 2022 So, the Saudis and their merry band of mercenaries did in the Argies, eh? Ah, the magic of the World Cup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zepphead Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 So far a bit disappointing although Mexico seem to be more dominent. Some secong half magic required! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're even 0-0 at the 85:00 mark Another good performance from one of the lesser fancied teams. I was a bit underwhelmed by the game in general but fair play to Tunisia for holding Denmark. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IbanezJem Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 I normally enjoy watching Mexico, but I fear I may be hounded out of the thread by Blackhawkrush. To be fair, Poland have to deliver a little more to make up for how annoyed I was with my Polish, now ex-girlfriend, at the weekend. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackhawkrush Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Did Lewandowski get half a chance yet? Might as well substitute him with an extra defender if you're going to play behind the ball for most of the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I would go and get the ball from the back four if I was him, as I don`t see anyone getting up the pitch enough to offer useful support. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poland need to get the ball to him plenty in the second half. I hope I am wrong but I can see this ending as another 0-0 thrill fest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It`s alarming that Poland have arguably the best No.9 of the last decade, but have scored their last five WC goals from set pieces and have also been effectively eliminated after their first two group matches too. I suggest they might be wasting their asset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IbanezJem Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Oh. I thought that grabbing could be a gamble, although it looked quite well matched as a scrap in the penalty area to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackhawkrush Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Of all the time to miss a penalty. Why didn't he slow down before kicking it like he always does. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zepphead Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Probably the fairest result for both teams - although it is a great result for Argentina! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
