The Official FIFA World Cup Thread - QATAR 2022

[Trajan]

Good finish

 

[TheFryingDutchman]

I know he was offside but that finish from Weah was

 

[African_brehda]

My word, that must be the WOAT VAR call yet. That graphic didn’t justify the decision at all

 

[CEO of Morgan Industries]

I thought it was onside, too.

I don't think VAR is effective, generally. I think the only league I've seen use it effectively is the Eredivisie.

 

[NaijaProdigy Redux]

Wait I need to see that again. he was offsides?

 

[Fortunate Lee]

Dest looks nice out there.

He played at Barca and Ajax, he should be nice

 

[Macallik86]

Why do the American fans look so

I'm getting secondhand embarrassment every time they scan the crowd

 

[Black White Sox Hat]

We better not disappear next half

 

[Copy Ninja]

Why is Sargent even starting?

 

[JDH]

They have such an advantage in goal differential that it won't matter unless Wales somehow four- or five-nil's on 'em.

Nah if England lose they'll have 4 points while the US has 5

 

[ThrobbingHood]

Are good strikers hard to find? I would've thought they'd be dime a dozen like Guards in the NBA.

Classic no 9 strikers are like gold dust with how the game is now. Look at most of these teams at the tournament and very few have them. And this is at a world class level.

The ones who are, are getting up in their age (Kane, Lewandowski, Giroud). Haaland is the exception. Outside of them, attacking options are usually wingers.

Ever since Messi and Ronaldo reached their peaks, the false 9 or wingers are preferred outside of the 4-4-2 CF role.

looking at the England game highlights.

Kane isn't playing his way into form. Get him off the pitch man.

 

[blues_funk_reggae]

That right there was a good look at why you can't give McKennie any time in midfield. Never afraid to put a ball through. A foot the other way and it's 2-0.

True. I was just thinking about qualification in general, not who they'd draw in knockouts. Good point.

Nah breh that's like trying to find a good center in basketball
