zepphead Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Lucky old Belgium. In an age of intricate strategy, multiple passing, you hoof it up the pitch, striker runs on to it and wacks it in. Old school. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you`ve not been keeping a close eye on football the last season or so, but this was Ancelotti`s genius tactic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IbanezJem Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Expecting a decent match from Uruguay and South Korea. Aside from my vested interest of watching Bentancur (outstanding for Spurs and his country) and Son (has his poor season been due to saving himself for the World Cup?), I`ve always had such a soft spot for the cheating, conniving Uruguayans. Beware central defenders with safety pins in their hands at corners, Sonny. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 As time winds down, each side with good chances there! So much for settling on a draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nova Carmina Posted November 24, 2022 Author Share Posted November 24, 2022 Both sides trade late chances! Seven minutes of added time? What the hell is happening with all the time added on? Are they counting multiple subs individually for the thirty second tack on? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FIFA have overreacted to that Spurs game last month where the ball was in play for 54 minutes, the least of any game in PL history. Most attendees were delighted at not having to watch our horrible style though, which everyone conveniently forgets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackhawkrush Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Can we have a close-up of Ronaldo with an angle up his nose, please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IbanezJem Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 I hope Serbia deliver some aggressive counterpunching to the noses of the overhyped Brazilians later. Today`s been one of the those days when I might have been better served having a job instead of struggling through these matches, and I should never feel like that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The old man up front for Portugal? Along with his two match suspension for destroying a child`s phone they also suspended nose cam. Nobody wants to look at the philtrum of a man without a club contract anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
