The Official FIFA World Cup 2022 Megathread

USA trying to give me a heart attack

 

[Tredman]

Got to stick with Rashford after that, isn't he joint top scorer with Mbappe at the moment?

Good to have these type of decisions to make. Difficult to change the front 3 after today though I think.

Personally I’d put Foden in CM for Henderson and bring Saka back.

 

[Dire Wolf]

Buzzing for the US, well deserved. I've really enjoyed watching and hopefully you can beat the Dutch.

They have some exciting young players, that's for sure.

Interesting side of the draw for the USA, a semi final on the cards for a team that you wouldn't expect (unless Argentina finish second, but I can't see that happening)

Brave.

I'd go with the same team as tonight personally. Saka looks a great sub to bring on. Sterling had been stinking the place out for a while now. Don't see him as good as the other 3.

Not sure we could have asked for a better opponent than the Dutch for next round tbh.

and Gapke and Valencia. All on 3 goals

Yeah though Valencia's tournament is over now

Dean Saunders straight in their with the population stat

 

[BillyDee]

That is an absolutely fantastic fk tbf...

OK, so wasn't really paying attention first time round... Further views have shown that it was not an absolutely fantastic fk tbf. My apologies.

I think you are in a 50/50 situation there, I'll be in the US on Saturday so hope you win. We'll beat Senegal if Southgate lets us go at them, doesn't feel like a manage it game to me

The style is more my cup of tea aswell. They press with intensity and move it quickly when they get it. Canada similarly but with less quality.

We have the athletes in midfield to mark Gakpo who seems to carry the only threat they have. Whether or not we do succeed is another question, but it doesn’t feel a hopeless cause.

Also, it’s not Ghana.

Pretty fucking hard to argue with the population of a country. Doesn’t make us any less shit for the entirety of this tournament group stage though.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Perhaps the BBC will stop talking about Wales so much and concentrate on England.

Perhaps they could talk about England when they play, only when they play and not in the build up to every fucking match of the fucking tournament

 

[Alan]

At least you’re officially the second best team in the Isles?

He’s right with number but if that’s his excuse then don’t big things up prior to each game.
He along with HRK were guilty of massively underestimating the opposition in the group.

 

[Tony Towner]

Wales' achiles heal was always going to be the minutes in the legs of key players. Bale didn't even start in the Cup Final for LA. 4 or 5 of those who started tonight are done and unfortunately for them there's not a lot behind. Just the cyclical nature of a smaller nation.

 

[Alan]

Bale did absolutely fuck all for LAFC until the MLS Final. It was properly nuts to watch unfold given the clout he has.
