The Official FIFA World Cup 2022 Megathread

Without wanting to blow my own trumpet, mine was legit! My wife's Korean family's WhatsApp group was a rollercoaster of emotions during that match.

Unlucky not to equalise at the end there..

Not sure it would've been deserved to be honest, but I've decided against sharing that view on the group.

 

[Quirkafleeg]

Fucking hell I've heard more off Joe Allen then Jill Scott winning the jungle thingy last 24 hours...

Great world cup for Hwang. Injured for the first two games and his country pretty much knocked out before he's kicked a ball.

And if he makes their final game he faces his Wolves mates

 

[The Bear]

Great. Him back nice and fresh is the last thing we need!

Wish I could be compared to McCoist, good striker, decent pundit, quite amusing at times too.

Being McCoist in the Patsy Kensit years... that would even beat scoring for fun at Ibrox

 

[Banjo]

Loved McCoist in his playing days, loved him on QOS, like him as a co-commentator, but hated him as Rangers manager. He and Lennon behaved like children when their tenures overlapped, fanning the flames of sectarianism.

He’s actually good on Talksport in the mornings, which is essential as Laura Woods isn’t great. Better than Alan Brazil but that’s a low bar.

I thought you had a legit connection. Must have been a wild ride.

Man, now I want kimchi.

No-one really wants to go for it
HT 0-0

Lucky Swiss

 

[The Bear]

That was very unlucky for Brazil.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Fucking hell though. Just because it’s Brazil it didn’t “spoil a good goal”. He was offside. End of story.

This blowing of smoke up the Brazilian collective arse is tiresome. This isn’t the 1970 or even 1982 side. It’s mediocre by their standards.

 

[The Bear]

I do wince a bit at those sorts of technical offsides though. Coming back from an offside position rarely gives an advantage.

Same as Neto against Leicester at home a few years ago, coming back from taking the corner.

 

[Lupo]

I hate it every single World Cup

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Brazil used to be exhilarating. 1982 scarred them and they have been much more pragmatic and often dull since. Yet for some reason the tv companies want us to worship them. Fuck that.

Feel free to wince but it’s a binary factual decision as soon as he touches the ball

 

[The Bear]

Obviously. It's just not in the spirit of how the law was intended.

I thought they were good (but not brilliant) in 1998 and 2002

 

[Lupo]

Great finish by Casemiro there
