The Official FIFA World Cup 2022 Megathread

[Wilf Wolf]

This WC has more twists than a Jeffrey Deaver novel!

 

[Jack Regan]

Pathetic from Argentina to throw this away.

 

[Mel Evo]

What a game, and some good niggle to add to the mix now!

 

[jd1981]

Dutch have no right to still be in this but that is such a clever free kick.

 

[Alan]

Don’t they? They scored the goals they needed to.

 

[t3ch]

refs been letting argentina (and messi especially) get away with crap all night and it's not like argentina have been more visibly or statistically dominant

Either have a right to win this game

 

[EpsomWolf]

Bloody hell. Sort of wanted this tournament to backfire and be a bit shit but… wow.

 

[sycophantia]

Well the first 70 minutes was pretty turgid stuff but brilliantly dramatic since.

 

[Jack Regan]

So having found Argentina mostly incapable of dealing with some 1980's Wimbledon football. The Dutch have now gone back to playing like winning the game is an afterthought to passing it sideways.

It's crazy, got all the big men on, Argentina were crumbling at the end of normal time so let's go back to just passing it in little triangles.

Lines read between, the scoreline yes balance of play not. Been awful for long periods.

Yep there for the taking both mentally and physically, but no let's just go for penalties instead.

Not a great tactic against a keeper who's saved multiple pens in the past 2 years or so.

 

[Jack Regan]

Pretty sure the Dutch have an appalling record in Penalty shootouts too.

 

[Jack Regan]

I hope this ref gets the final...

 

[WsWolf]

This ref is fucking wank.

I mean, the score is what matters.

 

[WsWolf]

Knocking on the door here. Holland look spent.

 

[Dire Wolf]

Not sure how one of those didn't go in.

 

[Alan]

Dutch do still look threatening going forward. Asking their forwards for the perfect cross, though.
