The Official FIFA World Cup 2022 Megathread

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

Mbappe is ridiculous.

9 World Cup goals by the age of 23. He’s already won one World Cup and will leave both Messi and Ronaldo behind as the GOAT before long.

 

[Alan]

If France win this again he'll have already done it, IMO.

 

[WsWolf]

He's one of the best finishers in the world, if he can't just score in the corner then he shouldn't be taking penalties in the first place. Three penalties for him in the tournament and he's missed two of them because he tries to be clever instead of just scoring.

Pass it into the top corner and no keeper is ever saving it. Doesn't even have to be blasted.

 

[Wilf Wolf]

The accuracy of his shooting is incredible. Hopefully Southgate will set up the team accepting he may well score so we need to score more, assuming we get past Senegal.

 

[Tony Towner]

Sterling out with a family matter

 

[The Bear]

If I'd scored 2 goals in a World Cup game and they I got benched for the next one, I'd be fucking fuming!

 

[Tony Towner]

I reserve the right to change my mind, but that's the team I'd have picked

 

[Wellen Wolf]

The accuracy of his shooting is incredible. Hopefully Southgate will set up the team accepting he may well score so we need to score more, assuming we get past Senegal.

If we get through tonight and Maguire continues to play his leaden footed centre back cum No. 10 role cum he receives every cross from corners and free kicks then France will be laughing.

 

[Templeton Peck]

Sterling out with a family matter

Tournament or game?

 

[BillyDee]

Game, from what I've seen.

 

[MARKakaJIM]

Mbappe is ridiculous.

9 World Cup goals by the age of 23. He’s already won one World Cup and will leave both Messi and Ronaldo behind as the GOAT before long.

I don't think he's got the outright talent of the other two but he'll probably achieve more unless something goes very wrong for him.

 

[Del Woppio]

Got to feel for Rashford, but I'm not devastated by the change tbh. And it's great to have some genuine depth and threat off the bench. I love the idea of foden as the advanced midfielder in a 433 but that's never going to be an option for Southgate until we're chasing a game

 

[Alan]

Ah, yes, Senegal are "direct, athletic, and they have pace".

Such lazy, lazy shite.

 

[WsWolf]

Ah, yes, Senegal are "direct, athletic, and they have pace".

Such lazy, lazy shite.

I'd agree if it was Cameroon they were talking about but Senegal are quite direct and utilise their athleticism to play fast counter attacking football.

 

[Del Woppio]

Fucking hell that piece on Foden just gave me goosebumps. He's such a special footballer, and he seems like a top pro, mature head on his shoulders and a proper grafter.

 

[Johnny75]

Ah, yes, Senegal are "direct, athletic, and they have pace".

Such lazy, lazy shite.

But they are direct and athletic.

 

[Dire Wolf]

Feel like their defence can definitely be got at.

 

[AndyWolves]

Those drums are irritating

 

[WsWolf]

Kane throwing himself to the floor like he does for spurs. Does my head in.

 

[WsWolf]

Definitely a tactic to press both England centre halves heavily on transition. Could be a good one as both will try and play out.
