The Official FIFA World Cup 2022 Megathread

He puts his leg across to draw the contact, not towards the ball

I’m well aware what he did, I personally think he’s allowed to do that.

Exactly the same as when a players step across the ball when expecting a challenge and gets cleaned out. Gets given as a foul every single time anywhere on the pitch.

Now arguably cheating is when a defender faces his own touchline/byline slows down, waits for contact and gets the foul everytime. Now that’s very blatant, soft as shit but I’m still blaming the forward for being a fucking idiot when you know what he’s going to do. Be clever and fake one way and go the other or offer no resistance and he’ll fuck it up and you’ll get a corner as he simply thinking about buying a foul or at worst the ball back from a rushed shit clearance.

OK, an agree to disagree moment I think

 

[Flea]

I do, Prince would have been a cooler reference though

Nah.
The coolfactor is higher remembering DTrain than Michael Jackson..

 

[Flea]

Serbia or Swiss then?

 

[Tony Towner]

I don't think the Swiss will lose

 

[Flea]

This has been the most political WC I can remember.
Back in them days we were cool with Nato and Warsaw pact..I mean the pressure on a match like West vs East Germany nowadays...
Different era of course..and the worst "tackle" I´ve ever seen was Terry Yoraths towards Björn Andersson 1975(was it?)
Bite yer legs of,..Chopper Harris..we´ll never see anything like it again.For better and for worse.

Cameroon

 

[Alan]

Fuck the Serbs for supporting anti-Kosovo sentiment.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

And the Swiss are just fucking boring. Trouble is we are looking at biblical level miracles to get Cameroon through.

 

[Alan]

The Seattle Elokobi starting at LB for Cameroon.

 

[Flea]

Every once in a while I watch Frannie Lee getting it on with Bite yer legs of..he really would have liked to take him out with just one wild swing right..;-)
Tremendous entertainment..Derby vs Leeds wasn´t it?
Not like that nowadays,At least not Derby vs Leeds..

 

[Flea]

Just won´t happen mate,the lighting never strucks twice and so on.
Don´t mind me.
I´m not the fella that predicted that Denmark.Germany,Uruguay and Belgium would go out group play..so don´t mind me..

And the Swiss are just fucking boring. Trouble is we are looking at biblical level miracles to get Cameroon through.

“It was still a risk for me to play today but I don’t care what happens to me physically.”

“The fans at Wolves think I’m shite anyway so they won’t mind if it takes the rest of my contract to get over it”

North Carolina born and raised, bud.

It's tough when we have 2 players you could be speaking about, but presume it's Hwang? That's going to ingratiate him to the new manager. The fans view is evidence based, but he's not wrong

 

[sycophantia]

Serbia v Switzerland a decent game, quite a bit of goal mouth activity.
