OT The official World Cup Qatar 2022 Megathread (1 Viewer)

They should just keep on adding extra times, taking one player off every ten minutes, starting with the goalkeepers. What happened to that "golden goal" experiment? Wasn't that a couple of World Cups ago?

PK's while extremely exciting are the dumbest way to end a game ever ... I agree on taking players off but leave the goalies ... the extra field would open things up and you wouldn't get a carnival game to end such an important match.

england are loosers, always had a great players, but never a great team

Well. They are about to make the Semi-Finals. Pretty good for “Losers”.

they were in the euro final year and a half ago and they lost

trust me, they only care about winning, just like any other big national team

 

[Rastapopoulos]

How about instead of penalties, you take the goalkeepers off and they have to score from the halfway line.

i think they should add extra time in these big games, personally.

but the intensity of PKs is undeniable. and i think there is a definite appeal with limited # of added times for sponsors/tv ad slots/etc

 

[Shaboid]

PKs are like starting the 10th inning with a runner on 2nd. Cheap.

Grant Wahl, the US soccer journalist, collapsed and died due to cardiac arrest at the Argentina match today.

he was sick and went to the doctor Monday, they told him he had something like bronchitis


EXTREMELY suspicious death considering he wasn’t allowed in a game earlier for wearing a rainbow shirt. He also has written about the other human rights violations in Qatar.

RIP

Weghorst going to have Dutch hotties knocking down his door.

You ever seen how attractive Dutch women are?

Nah Latin women are more my style. You can have the blonds.

 

[THE HCP]

Amazing day of games. Unreal finishes!

So there is some relevance to what happened 18 months ago as to what will happen tomorrow?

england havent won the world cup or euro in the last 56 years (they won the world cup in 1966), thats total 20 world cups & 16 euros without trophy (1/37 for a big national team like england is a tragedy)

like i said earlier, always had great players, never (before/after 1966) had a great team

in theory, of course they could go on to win the world cup, but in reality, odds are against them

Yeah but you seem to forget that they have qualified for the tournament all but three times since 1950. Since you seem to think what happened in past tounaments matters. In 2018 they made the Semis and placed 4th.
Go England!
Seriously I don't know didly about kickball. I just picked a team and i really dislike the French.

Come on you Argies. An all-Euro (sorry Morocco, but I don't see it) semis would be boring.

Sorry Morocco - FOR DOUBTING YOU!

 

[PDXFonz]

Sorry Morocco - FOR DOUBTING YOU!

Far from over

Ronaldo halftime sub guaranteed

 

[PDXFonz]

Had to have been planned?

 

[PtldPlatypus]

What a weak yellow on Cheddira!

If Portugal come up with an equalizer after that, I'll be incredibly disappointed

 

[Mr. Robot]

morocco knocked out spain, now they did the same to portugal, which is crazy

hats off to them, amazing achievement for their country and history will remember this team

 

[Quatro44]

Nice seeing a non-traditional power make it to the semis

 

[illmatic99]

Defense was awesome in the second half

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Far from over

Ronaldo halftime sub guaranteed

NOW OVER! Ronaldo fulltime blub guaranteed.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Well, at least a European team will make it from the next game...

 

[THE HCP]

Which one of these teams Is LeBron part owner of? I’ll root for them FAMS!

 

[illmatic99]

Thiss dembele cat is killing France

[illmatic99]

Lol kane.

Shambles

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Ah well, England always go out on penalties...

 

[illmatic99]

Also England with some shameless dives in that game. Glad they lost after that performance.

 

[Mr. Robot]
