The Official FIFA World Cup 2022 Megathread

[Wilf Wolf]

Reminiscent of Wolves v Wednesday. Is there a Waddle in the house?

 

[Dire Wolf]

I don't think I've ever seen a yellow card during a shootout.

 

[WsWolf]

Brilliant pen to finish it off.

 

[The Bear]

It’s just that easy!

A lot easier than doing a silly run up and trying to score the perfect penalty under extreme pressure. Make things as simple as possible in those circumstances.

 

[Alan]

I know people dislike shootouts, but the drama is unlike anything else in sport, IMO.

 

[jd1981]

It’s the right outcome in the end best side through

Don’t disagree tbf, just being an ass.

Much easier to say it than do it, clearly.

 

[Dire Wolf]

I mean, the first 70 minutes were dull as fuck, but after that it was brilliant, it had everything.

 

[sycophantia]

Probably the right team goes through but apart from one bit of class from Messi and 10 minutes at the end they looked pretty average.

 

[The Bear]

Not sure I'm on board with players crying after going out. In 99% of games in their career they couldn't give a shit.

Not everyone is so ambivalent about international soccer as the English

 

[Jack Regan]

If Argentina win this tournament then the remaining teams will have failed miserably.

 

[jd1981]

As said the best sides left are on the right hand side of the draw

Oh come on. This is why we can’t have nice things.

 

[Mel Evo]

If Argentina win this tournament then the remaining teams will have failed miserably.

Yeah. Especially Qatar.

If only there were some way to verify this…

 

[WsWolf]

Who dislikes them? I think they are brilliant.

 

[Dire Wolf]

The Argentinian fans are fucking brilliant to be fair.

 

[Alan]

Who dislikes them? I think they are brilliant.

I often hear the argument that they’re just a coin flip.
