The Official FIFA World Cup 2022 Megathread

[PuntsWolf]

They've always been technically good and tactically sound but in think it's as Alan says, creativity just isn't there.

Playing out the press nicely, players making angles for each other, moving for the return ball, opening up and spreading the play. It’s “basics” at the top level which they are doing well and making the game look easy but you see plenty of teams (Wolves for example) who don’t do it well. Although it’s obviously easier to do if you are better man for man than the opposition.

No shit. Thought it might have been a holiday. Did you know Rory Delap used to have a long throw and played for Stoke Al?

Rude

 

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

Really good goal.

Now we get treated to some information about George Weah too. Hope he scores again so we find out some more.

I think that is an early contender for worst bit of commentary of the whole tournament. Although I would back Clive to better it at some point.

Probably during the 2nd half.

@Tony Towner for whatever reason we tend to downplay Claudio's time at Sunderland over here. Not entirely sure why. Not a "sexy" enough club, maybe.

Bring him up and 9 times out of 10 you're talking about his time in Germany or at City. Sunderland rarely comes up.

I have just remembered that Sam Matterface is commenting at the tournament too…

 

[Alan]

Kieffer Moore on, which by Cyber Rules means he's a sure bet to score.

You need to get yourself a levelling up agenda.

Why, did he used to play for the USA?

 

[Alan]

Why, did he used to play for the USA?

Cyber Rules are hard to understand

 

[Kenny]

Why, did he used to play for the USA?

2 weeks at Disneyland. Close enough

 

[t3ch]

is his kid named mickey?

 

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

It’s not as much fun watching USA have these talented young stars. I miss Alexi Lalas.

Not really, lose to a team below you in the league = bad and unacceptable

Beat a team above you = ignore

Brexit = Good

Never play on the 13th of the month, in November or against a team you've lost to before

Think that's everything covered

 

[Keef]

any player that played for wolves or we were interested in at any time ever will score against us, guaranteed ! Except when they didn’t, then nothing was said, how could you forget that?
Pointing out any of the above was bullying, you got away with it because you were in the forum clique.
He was remarkably thin skinned for an ex copper

Not sure this US side is good enough to sit on a lead

 

[Alan]

We’re not really trying to sit back, we’re just getting way too impatient breaking forward. And then losing possession cheaply.
