Board 8 > Fifa World Cup Qatar 2022 - Topic 3

(+) Yeah! (+)

With Europe having that awful nations league nobody is ever gonna get the chance to play Eurpoean teams.

Argentina are so much better, but right now their play excites me about as much as Roy Hodgson's England.

Argentina aren't good enough to win it. They'll get found out when they play a good side.

They won Copa America with largely the same core though.

I think Brazil have more changes from that final though.

No this play is Australia's fault

At least it's now over!

Hard to see a team like Australia come back, but interested in how that team plays when they're forced to score at some point.

Thry made Argentina work for it though.

This game and the Brazil one were always gonna be a bye. The other ties will be more entertaining.

See ya, Straya.

The danish commentators are acting like it's unfair against Australia that Martinez time wastes a bit. Also saying that it'sstupid of him because the seconds will be added.

I want to forget Denmark vs. Australia as much as every other Danish person, but Australia absolutely has stuff like that coming in that match those seconds weren't added at all.

Commentary team here are acting like they've just beat the greatest team in the world. Can someone please hurry up and eliminate Argentina. Well done Australia and unlucky to that 18 year old kid at the end.

Football matches are a lot better when it's only one goal difference in the end.

Now home with you Australia, may you fail to qualify as long as you have this coach.

I want Poland to win this but they'd probably need to get to pens for that to happen.

Were rapidly approaching the part of the World Cup that I dont care at all about

Like yeah Poland winning would be an upset but I dont have an affinity for basically any of these European teams

I'll lose interest when England go out unless there's a shock team still in it.

I cannot see Poland win this one with the way they performed in the group stage, but would love to see it happen (in my completely unbiased England supporting opinion).

Watching this game is just depressing as an England fan. If we get past Senegal we are 100% not getting past France. The only way England will ever win anything is with a lucky draw.

Poland winning would need some luck and probably also Sczcnesny bringing his a-game, which he to be fair just might. I just don't think it's enough.

In penalties they might be the favorite with 2/2 taken so far lol but it's extremely unlikely it hoes there.

Poland are playing really negative again. They don't really deserve to win this.

I'm just hoping one of the french players end up suspended for the next game. Who? I don't know.

EDIT: Okay, just checked, only Kounde is sitting on a yellow from a previous game, so not likely.

I think a France/England combined XI has more English players in it.

Poland has woken up a bit. Looking like a better match than the first 10-15 minutes.

If you get rid of Mbappe England have a chance

LMAo

Maybe Coman should be staring over Dembele.

France should be ahead. On on earth, Dembele?

That's a yellow?

Poland has more possession now somehow

Yeah, I thought a freekick was fair but yellow was a stretch

Come on Poland!

Crazy Poland didn't score there

Gotta love delay of game due to bling.

Well it was fun while is lasted.

Giroud is one of those guys all clubs he's played for, the fans like him.

Lloris getting the oopsies out of the way early.

Happy for Giroud breaking the record, good for him.

I feel like that goal should have counted.
Keeper fell down, but there's no foul in the play there.

Mbabbe is not pressured nearby enough there.

Yeah but the whistle had sounded.

Poland deserved to concede there for letting Mbappe have that much space. Over.

Gonna leave now and come back for the Southgate masterclass.

Feel like a keeper can just game the system and fall down on every set piece to call the play dead then.

But oof Mbappe living up to the hype.

If we beat Senegal like 4-0 i'll have a bit of hope.

And now he shows that didn't matter lol

Oh my goodness.
Mbappe is incredible.

Very weak penalty lol
