The Official FIFA World Cup 2022 Megathread

This is an absolute clinic in how to shit your pants by Argentina. They've lost the plot.

They'll still win this..

Thing about this Argentina team is Scaloni has got them looking a lot more like they actually have a plan in attack now. Previously was just hope Messi does something. Now they actually work him into really good spaces. Think they are as good as the European teams anyway. Not convinced by Germany and France this year (watch them be brilliant) whereas I think Spain might be decent.

Lasted barely 20 minutes..

Hard to see this pressure from Argentina not paying off for them tbh.

Even if they bring it back to a draw it really opens up this group though. Not just going to be Mexico and Poland tussling for second.

They're not doing anywhere near enough with it though. Yet.

Missed the first half, didn't know they were starting that early, after half time SA looked really good for 20 minutes, Argentina ramping up the pressure now, gard to see Saudi holding on
Only caught the end of the spat with Keane and Souness unfortunately.

 

[WsWolf]

Fair play to Renard and the Saudi Players, would have been so easy to sit deeper and deeper and eventually get broken down. Brave to play with a press and high line but it's worked perfectly.

 

[Langers]

Wonder how much added time there'll be?

10 minutes?

 

[Alan]

The entire Saudi team will be suspended for Match 3 at this rate!

 

[Tony Towner]

Didn't need to see that replay more than once

 

[Langers]

Oh man that's a horrendous collision

 

[Alan]

Oh fuck

 

[Kenny]

How did the ref not spot that and stop the game!

 

[Alan]

Oh man, the keeper’s reaction is really hurting my heart

 

[Johnny75]

Thankfully he looks ok but that was right on the button.

 

[Quirkafleeg]

He's up thankfully..

 

[Alan]

Scary shit, man.

 

[WsWolf]

How did the ref not spot that and stop the game!

Tbh I'd have been furious if wolves had the ball in the box with the keeper miles out and the game was stopped. Understand we want to get to head injuries quickly but he did stop it as soon as the ball was away from danger.

 

[sycophantia]

Saudi last ditch defending has been excellent, not sure if that's Argentinas lack of composure
