World Cup Qatar 2022 - Desert Strike

[p b]

Not anymore 

[p b]

And it is great again!!!!

[feltmonkey]

When was that offside? How far back can you go to disallow a goal?

[Boothjan]

After all that - it's the correct decision!

[John0]

Ohhh quite a good decision that actually!

[feltmonkey]

Yeah, it was the correct decision. You'd be hard-pressed to have noticed it in real-time. I was confused!

 

Why was the referee pretty much squaring up to a Switzerland player in that slow-mo sequence they just did? The guy just looked baffled. 

[John0]

I missed the first half so don't know if this changed at half time but looks like Vinicius has been given license to just hang around as far up the pitch as he wants and wait for the counter.

[feltmonkey]

Yay, Antony is on!  

 

 

[feltmonkey]

Oof what a finish that is.

[Naysonymous]

In the words of one AC Jimbo: Woof!

[Fierce Poodle]

Ronaldo is certainly looking well these days.

After the excitement of the early games, this has been pretty bad and I fully expect Portugal/Uruguay to stink out the place too.

Does have high brawl potential though. Expecting a dive and agonised roll within the first five minutes.

[Fierce Poodle]

Just be grateful England aren’t playing.

That long?

[feltmonkey]

Portugal Vs Uruguay - you couldn't pick two teams more capable of delivering an absolute shithousary masterclass. It's either going to be unwatchable or hilarious depending on your mindset.

Fair point. Shenanigans in the first minute or we riot.

[feltmonkey]

Good bit of rolling around and slapping the floor there.

[feltmonkey]

That would have been an amazing goal if he'd have managed to finish it.

[Smoothy]

Pitch invader

[Gotters]

Not sure of McCoist’s claim there that Ronaldo meant that, he was looking near post  and only turned when the contact was muffed a bit.

[John0]

Was that a pride flag from the pitch invader maybe?

 

Definitely questioning whether Ronaldo actually touched that.

 

Edit: every time they've showed it it doesn't look like the spin on the ball changes at all.

Yeah it was.

 

Pretty sure he didn't.

He didint. One of the angles there totally confirmed he didn't. 

[Naysonymous]

Ronaldo is absolutely going to claim it.

I don't think he got anywhere near it, despite McCoist gushing over it. 

[Gabzy]

Siuuuuu!

[feltmonkey]

Nice goal, Bruno. 

 

You could see Ronaldo's thought processes as clear as day - "Oh shit I've missed it. Hang on it's gone in! I can claim that."

[ryodi]

Ronaldo is going to be very unhappy when he finds out FIFA have given it to Bruno.
