World Cup Qatar 2022 - Desert Strike

[deerokus]

Martinez thinks they can hold their heads high?

[Timmo]

The failure of this Belgium generation to win anything feels like early 2000s England.

[Art Vandelay]

Poor Micah needs to take a five here, The Drog is making him sound a right muppet.

[Loik V credern]

'No regrets' seems like the most most positive outlook no one else in the world holds except Martinez, surely.

Lukaku punching the Plexiglas out the dugout, wonder if he was aiming for that.

 

That's what Toney had a bet on. Long odds!

[Gabe]

Belgium were awful throughout all of their games, Croatia only turned up for the game vs Canada (and how much of that was down to suicidal Canadian defending I don't remember.)

 

I'm not sure why everybody seems to be wetting themselves about Argentina again, they hardly looked great against a poor Mexico side and beating Poland is no achievement.

 

I think it's quite an open tournament, purely because of how average so many teams have looked, I don't think any team is looking at any other with any fear. 

 

For tonight Japan and Costa Rica wins would be hilarious, and given the way all the teams have played I'm not even sure I'd be that surprised.

[Gotters]

Totally agree, apart from a few 10-15m spells from some teams the quality has been very low throughout.

Agreed.

[Plissken]

You can blame Lukaku for missing chances, but unlike his teammates, he didn't go missing for three entire games.

[Art Vandelay]

Argentina look like they’ve already had to go to the well to eke out results against fairly shit opposition. The narrative is there but they look very average indeed.

[davidcotton]

No surprise but Martinez stepping down after World Cup. 

[Fierce Poodle]

Come on Japan / Costa Rica!

[teddymeow]

Oh good, Ally McCoist... 🤮

[Fierce Poodle]

This is not going to plan.

[El Pibe]

Linesman! Linesman!

[Gabe]

These games both feel like dead rubbers, even though they aren't.

[Naysonymous]

Japan are fucked here.  That Costa Rica game is going to haunt them for years. 

[Fierce Poodle]

Spain bossing this like mofo’s
