The Official FIFA World Cup 2022 Megathread

[Deano]

How the fuck is that not a penalty. You'll struggle to see a more blatant foul.

 

[sycophantia]

That's a pen, seems var is as pointless internationally as it is at home.

 

[Alan]

Mark Clattenburg says it’s not one so I guess that’s that

 

[WsWolf]

I thought he was looking for it.

 

[Johnny75]

Looked a pen to me

Laryea is a bit infamous over here for just that sort of thing tbf

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Stonewall pen for me.

Witsel was class once upon a time but he looks very Paul Ince 2006 here.

 

[WsWolf]

Canada should be about 4 up here. Even if Belguim scrape this some how, they are clearly done as an entity for quite a few years. Awful

Think the fact they have a really poor manager in charge who consistently picks centre halves who are done at the top level is a big part of the issue. He's got Faes on the bench who's looked excellent for Leicester.

 

[Alan]

Boooooo

 

[Lupo]

And Belgium score, typical

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

One straight ball causing that much trouble is very poor.

 

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

Jammy fuckers. Come on Canada!

 

[WsWolf]

Canada were sick of watching Belgium defend like morons and wanted in on the action.

Vitoria (#5) practically needs a wheelchair

 

[Alan]

Be interesting now. Canada were already playing with fire a bit given the lack pace at CB (Kamal Miller excepted), now they’ll have to leave even more space.

Fucking fuck MLS finishing lmfao

They've pressed super high anyway and baited Belgium to play through them. I don't see any reason to change from what they are doing.

They’ll just be riskier about it. Herdman isn’t afraid of exposing a weakness as a feint when needed.

If y’all can’t tell, I really rate the Big Brit In Charge.

 

[SSB]

Stonewall pen for me.

“Clumsy” Lineker and Co. described it as and then glossed over it.

Well, if today is an indicator I'm a fan. Love the style he's playing.
