The Official FIFA World Cup 2022 Megathread

[Alan]

Ah, he asked them for it.

Shit for him. Might help Morocco tactically though.

 

[t3ch]

ah dang, saiss off already

 

[Wilf Wolf]

Saiss has had one hell of a WC. Sad to see it end like that.

Sums up his Wolves career too

 

[sycophantia]

Turned into a bit of a masterstroke by Deschamp dropping Griezemann into that role.

Think he's been Frances best player all through the tournament

 

[b3h]

Yellow for that!?

 

[Alan]

I don't see how that's a yellow for Boufal?

EDIT: Oh for fuck's sake, @b3h

 

[t3ch]

oof.

 

[Johnny75]

I don't see how that's a yellow for Boufal?

And not for Dembele for a blatant pull and trip.

France really do have some luck with the referees

 

[Alan]

I know France don't need to force the issue at this point, but they sure do have a lax way of getting about the pitch.

I think the idea is to let Morocco push on and hit them on the break with the pace they have upfront.

 

[Alan]

Would it just destroy the ego of the referee for VAR to pop in quickly there and say "hey dude, that tackle was the clearest yellow this side of a dehydrated wrestler"?

 

[Dire Wolf]

Not sure how that stayed out. Should have been 2.

I guess when you're as talented as they are you can afford to look casual.

Probably, but more importantly it'd break the rules.

Also, unrelated but remember what I told you tends to happen when unfancied nations get further than they should by rights...you end up with this. France playing like we did in League One when we went 1-0 up.

Not all upsets are helpful.

 

[Dire Wolf]

Very unlucky.

 

[Kenny]

Lloris spoiling the fun!

 

[Alan]

Love ya, Dan, but not a chance are you "I told you so"-ing this one.

I care about this way more than I would if it were Portugal in Morocco's place.

 

[t3ch]

daaaaamn I wish that had gone in

 

[Mel Evo]

I’m rather enjoying the end to this half, so it’s a shame to read it’s actually a load of sht.
