The Official FIFA World Cup Thread - QATAR 2022

[The ADD]

Telelmundo's coverage is simply better...You don't have to understand a single word but the enthusiasm and energy is infectious and draws you in regardless.

American commentators on futbol/soccer matches are audio NyQuil. They are lethargic, dull, and worst of all lacking knowledge on anything other than US men's team or stars. Also, lets not forget the Latinas over at Telemundo too...eye candy goes a long way in drawing casuals

The Telemundo announcers reaction to the Harry Kane missed header at the end deserves an award.

MBS has been pushing austerity measures in Saudi Arabia - cutting wages, reducing subsidies, privatizing hospitals, and a new tax on goods.

Imagine watching your obscenely rich ruler toss luxury cars at soccer players and nine-figure contacts at foreign golfers while he fukks your family over.

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

They gonna park the bus like no other.

Iran just needs a draw. It's enough for them to go through.

They will play the bunker.

If Wales wins and Iran draws then Wales and England go through. Since England doesn't need to win/draw to advance, Iran would be taking a minor risk there. And their offense looks better than their defense so they might be sabatoging themselves.

England ain’t winning nothing, Hats off to the USA for being a decent opponent and exposing that English squad…. Too much hype

 

[Trajan]

Fire match ups today.. Except for the first game

We need Mejico to give Argentina the business and put Messi out of his misery

 

[Caponeflowers]

serbia is hit or miss.. France has the higher ceiling to me the way mbappe and the rest of the attack are playing

Let’s see how France plays vs a decent opponent first, we saw England get exposed, let’s see France v denmark and spain v Germany

The way he screws the poor and pleases the rich. I'd say he should apply to become a US citizen and run for Congress. He would fit right in

If Wales wins, it wouldn't be about goal difference? Because Iran will have 4 pts and Wales 4 pts too.

Wales and Iran have the same goal difference RIGHT NOW.
So if Wales win, their goal difference improves by a minimum of +1, Iran net 0. Wales advance.

Two wack teams in the early slot, not must see TV.

I chose to sleep rather than catch the 1st half myself.
