The Official FIFA World Cup 2022 Megathread

[pr0sl0]

Richarlison is a prick on the pitch but I give him a pass as he's the only player in the squad who's openly anti-fascist and critical of Bolsanaro. A lot of them are proper bootlickers.

 

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

As much as an admire the way Brazilians play the game, I despise Neymar.

I would take great satisfaction from seeing him in tears if they lost the final.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I cannot begin to tell you how much I enjoyed watching Germany destroy them

 

[Wulfie88]

 

[Lupo]

The commentary of Brazil always makes me vomit and I hope Argentina do them in the semi and dance in their faces. I loved seeing Neymar stretchered out of the 2014 WC then Germany destroying them too, can't stand all the sycophancy around them every tournament

 

[machin05]

Well, I thoroughly enjoyed watching Brazil last night, Neymar and the dancing included.
Yes, Korea were their own worst enemies, but the flair, skill and goals were a joy to behold. Brazil being Brazilian again and if that means egos and dancing then I'm here for it. Much rather that than previous incarnations that included Fred and Hulk lumbering around up top.

 

[Wilf Wolf]

No problem with a goal celebration, it’s the fact they had multiple celebrations for each goal that grates.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I really want an opponent to interrupt their little fucking dance shit by lumping one straight on neymar’s jaw.

 

[AndyWolves]

Southgate doing the robot in the final after an 89th minute winner would do me

 

[1986]

That penalty that Brazil got last night should never have been allowed . Richarlison looking for a leg to fall over .

 

[GLASGOWOLF]

I still think Spain look better.

The main difference for me is we can change our front 3 with very little if any drop off in quality, no other international team can do that.

 

[GLASGOWOLF]

Two weeks max until we answer this for sure, ay

No necessarily, Belgium were far an away the best team in World Football, but won fuck all

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Belgium were far an away the best team in World Football

No they weren't, it was a quirk of the crap rankings system.

Like everyone in England's group were ranked in the top 20 pre-tournament, but quite clearly Iran and especially Wales were dreadful.

 

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

Belgium have never been good enough to be the World’s best team.

 

[GLASGOWOLF]

No they weren't, it was a quirk of the crap rankings system.

Like everyone in England's group were ranked in the top 20 pre-tournament, but quite clearly Iran and especially Wales were dreadful.

For me they were.
That team was littered with top level quality

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

And Dendoncker

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

For me they were.
That team was littered with top level quality

"Far and away" the best team in the world? Really?

They've always had glaring weak areas.

 

[Del Woppio]

They were never the best team in the world, get in the bin. FIFA ranking means less than fuck all.

 

[Johnny75]

For me they were.
That team was littered with top level quality

This is just nonsense.

Their defenders are all over the hill. Hazard is broken as is Lukaku. Neither wing back gets into anybody else's top side.

Courtois and KdB are top level talent and that's it.

Compare that to France, Germany, Spain, Portugal, England, Argentina or Brazil and it's not even close. I don't even think they're better than the Netherlands.

2016-18 was their time really wasn't it. Managed to fuck it against Wales in the euros mind
