November 22, 20223 yr 2nd place in Argentina's group gets the winner of France's group, then the winner of that plays the winner of England's group or Runner up of Group A Argentina were terrible 2nd half, 3 first half offside goals but they didn't look 2nd favourites for the WC, heroic from SA. Losing your first match doesn't necessarily mean you'll not have a good tournament as proven with Spain in 2010, but they'll have to improve massively.

November 22, 20223 yr [quote]What does that mean??[/quote] when that italian defender pulled him back by the neck of his shirt. the cheating fucker shouldve been sent off, but saka did nothing after. i dont mean he got knocked out, but summat changed.. Edited November 22, 20223 yr by e2e4 typos
November 22, 20223 yr This is better - Lars Siverson and Nedum Onuoha, people with actual brains between their ears.

Great that the two players who received the most racist abuse after the Euros bagged goals yesterday. Wonder how much unity there would have been on that pitch if he’d told them to stop moaning and “focus on the football”? As I said , he’s done what any decent boss would do. It’s common sense mate, not a woke infiltration. You’re right though, it’s only Iran and they’re shite. Let’s see.

November 22, 20223 yr Not only is it pleasing when England win, we now get the added benefit of supporting a nice bunch of players instead of the likes of the 'golden generation' and tripple bonus it winds the likes of Bolty up seeing Southgate succeed. Happy days.
November 22, 20223 yr Hartson at it again. One of the best saves he's ever seen apparently Edited November 22, 20223 yr by L/H White
November 22, 20223 yr Still wondering why the Argies with their reputation of being hard (going back to Rattin and the 66 WC) so totally bottled it. Saudi are a big, strong and athletic team with a fair bit of talent so why the Argies didn't compete physically is beyond me unless they expected to stroll it which is unforgiveable. Absolutely loved Saudi winning - a proper lesson in effort, commitment and teamwork - and two great goals.
November 22, 20223 yr That Argy team is so bad, how are they named as close favs!?! 2/3 good players and the rest bang average.
November 22, 20223 yr They have decent players but it felt like there was f*** all effort and commitment from them today. They'll be a different kettle of fish next game - performances like that are unacceptable in Argentina and they'll know it. Some of these Tunisians look half decent. Another lot who are playing like a team although I expect Denmark to see them off.

Another lot who are playing like a team although I expect Denmark to see them off. They will do better, no doubt. But some of those players on show, really not near the level they have had in the past. Otamendi at heart of the defence....he was past it when he left City 2 years ago. Di Maria at 34 having a terrible time with injuries at Juve and end of PSG time and Messi is 35 now......they still rely on them badly... De Paul & Parades are decent enough but nothing special at all. Slightly above average prem keeper, and an old crap fullback. Not close to having enough quality to go far in this WC. Edited November 22, 20223 yr by Pablo
November 22, 20223 yr Add number 14 from Tunisia to the unknown players who look like world beaters list. Plays in the Hungarian league apparently

Happy days. He’ll be cheering on his beloved Socceroos later. They’re men’s men with lovely big manly moustaches, and they wear vests so you can see their rippling muscles and tight shorts so you get the odd glance at their big Aussie widgies. and they only let a few hundred boat people in per annum. England are one supporter down.
November 22, 20223 yr John Hartson is making my ears bleed. Had it on in the background but this is duller than the Netherlands match.
November 22, 20223 yr Just goes to show how teams like the Wanderers could pick up players of a better quality than we have if we cast the net wide enough.

Well you did have half the USA defence that played against Wales at one point, even they was slagged off like feck....comfortable prem & NT players....
