goose Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 At 53:00 slack defense by Japan allows a perfect Croatian entry to a perfect finish for the equalizer! Seems to have woken Japan up as they nearly counter with the go ahead three minutes later! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, but maybe no more than the winning side normally is; I thought they looked pretty good, honestly. I know that's hard for some English to believe, but there it is. Were they "beating France" good? That might require more luck. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IbanezJem Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 There was no point during that extra time and subsequent penalty shoot-out that I thought Germany would lose. Did I say Germany? I meant Croatia. It was just like watching the Teutonic machine from the 1990s. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IbanezJem Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 I often wonder why it is that I can`t ever really enjoy watching Brazil. The hype? The history? The worshipping of every five-yard pass? Nope. It`s the dancing. Ever since Bebeto did his baby-rocking, I`ve tried to enjoy watching them score. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite simply, that kind of celebration isn't very sportsmanlike. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zepphead Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Sorry to see Japan go out..... I didn't see any of it but judging from your posts it sounds like they were unlucky. I reckon it will be Spain & Portugal who progress today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Glad to see the teams were kind enough to put off any scoring while I was running the dog. Let me guess, judging by all the whistling, I missed 25 minutes of tiki-taka? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IbanezJem Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Why the hell are Spain dressed like Man City, in this cyan number? I would have thought Spain would be all yellow, cowardly and custard-like, if they have to wear their "away" kit. I don`t think I`m really able to accept them like this. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly! The banality of perfection is how I have described Man City. From Pep`s brain to the pitch, it can feel like it is pre-ordained, which frankly takes a bit of the drama out of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackhawkrush Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 I don't understand all these praises for Morocco from the 'experts'. If that had been Poland, it would've, in fact it was called anti-football. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
