The Official FIFA World Cup 2022 Megathread

[WsWolf]

Such a cruel sport.

They've only got themselves to blame. Missed a sitter and one very good chance, should be 2-0 up at that point.

 

[AndyWolves]

Brilliant

 

[The Bear]

Get in Harold!!

 

[Del Woppio]

What a break that is

 

[BillyDee]

That was quite good...

 

[AndyWolves]

Bellingham - what a player

 

[Alan]

Up to Korea and Japan to try and keep these late rounds interesting, then.

 

[Dublin Drummer Wolf]

Lovely passing from Bellingham and Foden. Cant see England losing from here

 

[WsWolf]

Bellingham phenomenal again. People will take the piss out of Southgate going all Tony Pulis but it's worked.

 

[Jack Regan]

Incisive!

 

[The Bear]

Jude is gonna go for over £100m next summer. Plenty will be willing to pay it too I reckon.

 

[jd1981]

Mentally drained after that half, brutal from England. We’ve all played in games where we think we’re doing well then somehow wonder how we’re 2-0 down.

Bellingham phenomenal again. People will take the piss out of Southgate going all Tony Pulis but it's worked.

Only because of two moments of class from Bellingham. It's similar tactics to Belgium and Martinez but we've got a better front three.

Y'all ain't figure skating out there but anyone comparing Southgate to Pulis is losing it.

Not really, Bellingham playing against tactics not with them.

The clear instruction is to keep the ball and he's driving forwards with the ball.

 

[Tony Towner]

Do Blues have a sell on for Bellingham?

 

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

I’m not sure why we forgot how to play football for 20 mins or so but from 40 mins onwards it was quite good.

 

[Langers]

Thought we did fine TBH - opening 20 mins we were on top, but we let them into it too often by rushing our passes from defence into midfield which were picked off.

But when we break, we're lethal, and have been throughout the tournament. That's no fluke, we're a good side. Albeit one who need to relax a bit when we're playing out from the back.

Bellingham is ridiculous.

They clearly went direct before the goal to counter the high press. It caused indecision for Senegal.

It's a metaphor for going direct mate, not a direct comparison.
