blackhawkrush Posted December 10, 2022 Posted December 10, 2022 This is not going well. In fact it's so bad, I'll have to root for Argentina now. 1
zepphead Posted December 10, 2022 Posted December 10, 2022 ...... and now for the entire media of the UK it is 'back to reality' time. 2
zepphead Posted December 10, 2022 Posted December 10, 2022 So, now to put my totally negative head on .... I don't mind now who wins the World Cup ... (as long as it is not Argentina!) 1

treeduck Posted December 10, 2022 Posted December 10, 2022 Same old England, as soon as they meet a good team in the QF or Semis they get beat. 3
blackhawkrush Posted December 10, 2022 Posted December 10, 2022 At least Harry Kane didn't turn into a crybaby...on camera. 1 2
IbanezJem Posted December 10, 2022 Posted December 10, 2022 (edited) I really don`t want Messi to win a World Cup. It will be a meaningless bauble for him, a man ambivalent about the concept of a team. Now little Luka Modric, there`s a deserving man. I don`t think Morocco will make it. It`s not possible that Hugo Lloris can win 2 World Cup winners medals for France whilst winning nothing at all at Tottenham, surely? Well, sadly, it is. Edited December 10, 2022 by IbanezJem 2
TheAccountant Posted December 10, 2022 Posted December 10, 2022 (edited) So now its Morocco vs. France & Croatia vs. Argentina. Thank you Morocco for knocking out both Spain and Portugal. I did not see either of those upset coming but I am so happy you did. I can't see Morocco beating France. Then again, I did not see them beating Spain or Portugal. France plays with a style that I don't mind & Morocco would be a fun change of pace so I would be ok with either team I would have liked England to have beaten France but won't lose to much sleep over them losing. Croatia vs. Argentina? Depends on how much those teams have left in the gas tank after the games the other day. For some reason I don't really care for Croatia so I will likely root for Mesi and Argentina - which is horrible thought. Must confess, once England tied the game with France had visions of England vs. Argentina in the final. That would have been fun given the history between them. Its has been a fun world cup. Even the non football fans in the office have gotten interested. Nice to see. Edited December 11, 2022 by TheAccountant corrected spelling errors 2

Nova Carmina Posted December 13, 2022 Author Posted December 13, 2022 (edited) Croatia are being mugged. (as in, "metaphorically beaten in a surprising way," not in a "physically assaulted way") Edited December 13, 2022 by Nova Carmina 2

Nova Carmina Posted December 13, 2022 Author Posted December 13, 2022 Messi might not appreciate a World Cup, per Ibanez Jem, but it sure looks like he's determined to play for one. 2
Nova Carmina Posted December 13, 2022 Author Posted December 13, 2022 Does Croatia fight to get something back, or do they crater and lose 5-nil now? 1

I get the USA is about 60-75 years behind most of these countries in developing soccer, but it's stats like this that make me realize how wide the gulf is. We have so much work to do. 1
