Chitchat FIFA World Cup: Qatar 2022 [Official Thread@]

[red amoeba]

Haha England once again fell flat. Kane against Lloris who will be back at same club soon.

First goal from France , good, nothing to be said. Maybe defence can close him down ? But who expect a shot from so far. Question will be is a foul on Sakha not called proior to build up ?

Penalty for England valid and kane did well to equalise.

Second goal from France down to fault of macguire and stones for not picking up giroud. Mcguaire as usual half hearted in defence and stones fail to intercept Mbappé cross.

Then it’s the refreee who is South American like the one referring Morocco vs Portugal.

It’s the year of the South American team. Omen of Argentina lifting the cup.

Harry Kane will be haunted by this for the rest of his life and career. The England FA better start scouting for another proper striker instead of relying on this overrated 'golden boy' of theirs.

There's a big difference between missing a penalty because the opponent goalkeeper was really good, or you at least hit the post, compared to sending the ball flying up to row Z of the stadium.

Wait… England is complaining they were entitled to a 3rd penalty… would it have made a difference? I would say Giroud’s claim to being deprived of a penalty is equally valid. The French are really more classy than the spoilt brats from across the channel.

Kicking a penalty over the crossbar or beyond the goal posts, are unforgivable.
If he kicked and the goalkeeper guessed correctly, dived and saved it, is consolable.
No penalty taker should sky the ball.
Based on how well the French goalkeeper knew Harry Kane, and HK already scored from.the first penalty, it would be preferred to have another player take the second penalty. May be Bellingham?

Actually a lot of big names have missed penalty. Kane can be inducted into this Hall of Shame

 

[Sideswipe]

typical England, lost to the first strong team they faced at the knockout rounds. Southgate out !

 

[bushtucker]

France is technically better. England is all hype and they have the hapless Maguire who is a defensive liability.

Haha. As predicted Maguire was the liability. Giroud's goal was deflected in by Maguire's arm. England depended on penalties to get a favourable result. I laughed when Kane ballooned his pen to Row Z.

 

[Bacccarat]

The eng-Lan players are only good at playing at team level.
That's where their chemistry and friendship and comaraderie and teamwork are.

To play as a national team, they are hopeless.

Hindsight always 100% correct.

And then there is 4 left...

Argentina Vs Croatia

Morocco Vs France

 

[dredd]

Argentina will not find Croatia easy. This is a talented squad who has been there and done that. Finalist 4 years ago, now back to finish the business.

France will not find Morocco gullible like the English. Morocco has mastered the skill of "Catenaccio", clamping opposing teams down, preventing them from seeing the ball and so cannot score.

My prediction: Croatia Vs Morocco in the final. Argentina and France fighting for 3rd place.

 

[Baimi]

Limpeh also angry with Kane for missing the penalty. Need to swallow some pills.
$240 can survive for 1 month.
Ok, now that I have won $80, it is double, triple maybe more or quit, for semi-final and final. Is there 3rd place match?

Limpeh also angry with Kane for missing the penalty.

Tottenham players all have the loser DNA. Very 'Spursy'. Always bottling and choking at the most critical moments.

Maybe Kane puak very big England lose leh

A football team is only as strong as its weakest link.

If Harry Maguire is playing, you should keep your expectations modest.

Let's put it this way: he is not even good enough to play (again) for Hull City now.

But the England FA is obsessed with politics and optics, so when some overrated and overpriced English player plays for a 'big club' in the Premier League, the England manager is compelled to include him in the squad. Their media is also guilty of fueling this delusion.

Loser DNA? I’ll tell Hugo Lloris.

Maguire is a whiny sore loser. In his post match interview, he blames the ref instead of his own inadequacies in not catching Giroud for that second goal. Look in the mirror.

Football doesn't want to come home...

 

[laksaboy]

Once upon a time England beat France easily.

 

[sweetiepie]

As My uncle had mentioned before the start of the season WC matches are played accordinglee to wagers that's the leeson my uncle has collected many of the so called upset games  Not all becas some of it my uncle didn't managed to collect enough wager data before and during the kickoff

The secret code was different from that of seasonal leagues though

 

[sweetiepie]

Tiu gang tou you tao ah hei































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































My uncle missed the Croatia vs brasil match as he was enjoying the money at that time and couldnt figure Croatia to beat Brazil during ft or extra time penalty.



































































































































































































































































He could have just placed a safe bet of Croatia to qualify but he knew the odds will not be enticing and collecting sg pool money has become more like a digit to him verleebything else































































































































A verlee proud and bold statement
