The Official FIFA World Cup Thread - QATAR 2022

[Volt]

Neymar and Danilo are out for the rest of the Group Stage with ankle injuries. I don’t wish injuries on any player, but Ney being unavailable might be a blessing in disguise. I fully expect the squad to play better without him. Losing Danilo is a big blow though.

Oh god... Dani Alves will actually be on the field.

Sounds like Raphina is using Ney to vent his own frustrations about the Brazilian fans.

If he wanna be a bytch too, that's on him.

He's acting like people even know his dime-a-dozen ass over here.

The Neymar haters didn't need to do all that though, that's just a bad look and fukks up the vibes.

Any poverty country can kick a ball around. That doesn’t make it entertaining

Has to be Reyna. He’s played 10 minutes so far. He has to go 90. I don’t care if his legs fall off.

I dont understand what Berhalter’s issue is with him

 

[TheFryingDutchman]

We have Reyna and Aaronson but Egg head refuses to play a 4-2-3-1 even though Weston and Musah would be perfect as deep midfielders.


Against better teams the 4-3-3 is legit at destroying any ability for the other team to build through the midfield, I give him that .

I don't want to be too negative after a good result, but my biggest issue with Gregg is that he refused to change tactics. It's obvious we should play a different style but he's stubborn, that'll be his downfall eventually.

*plays to 0-0 score*
*gets point*

USA Soccer and Fans like

Coli told me that the US sucked and we were gonna get 7 dropped on our head

 

[Carl Tethers]

Southgate with those boring negative Graham Taylor tactics today.. fukking horrendous

 

[CEO of Morgan Industries]

I think Aaronson needs to start against Iran. He's excellent at making the final pass with Leeds. We need a player like him up front.

 

[Mister Terrific]

Tim Ream has been the player if the tournament for the USA. We were finished with him after a bad performance vs Mexico in the nations league, but mana worked his way to captain Fulham and here we are.

 

[MVike28]

no i don't... it's not just about iran. if u can't score at all.. u can't win. my point is we have no true ST out there

As a Canadian I feel your pain

Our strikers had horrific finishing against Belgium

 

[Big Boss]

we back

 

[Mister Terrific]

I dont understand what Berhalter’s issue is with him

I think he had a knock to start the tournament and he can save him. My biggest fear is him sitting Weah and playing Reyna on the wing instead of midfield where we need someone to break down Iran who are gonna sit back with 10

Southgate is a fukking fraud of a manager. Uninspiring, cowardly approach to football. c*nt should work in an office dealing with planning permission or something. Looks like he could make an onion cry, the prick.

 

[Yippee Ki Yay]

No disrespect to USA and I dont want to come across bitter but a win for us would have been better for the World Cup. USA won't do much even if they were to progress through to the next round whereas we can win the bloody thing!

A win would for us would have made no difference to it being better for the world cup, cos we can still go through, it made no differnce

But we have no chance of winning the bloody thing with the manager we have in charge

You're right.A win would have been better.

And yet, Southgate is England's second best manager.

 

[#1 pick]

The more I think about the next match the less optimistic I get.

Iran doesn’t even have to beat us. They’re going to play so many in the back.

Where is the offense / creativity going to come from?

They gonna park the bus like no other.
