World Cup Qatar 2022 - Desert Strike

[deerokus]

Should be 7-0.

 

McCoist gradually losing his mind at the Korean defending is fun.

[Fierce Poodle]

All set up nicely for an incredible comeback from S Korea in the second half.

Ally needs a cup of tea

[Calashnikov]

Are you all mad? That was a brilliant watch 🤌🏻

[ChewMagma]

Classic Brazil. Flatter to deceive against a poor SK, get smashed by Argentina in the semi.

S Korea? More like 5 Korea!

[layten]

Roy Keane is not impressed.

Goal three was great. The penalty was atrocious refereeing; goal four just another example of "don't bother to mark" defending.

[Bacon Horsemeat]

Is that face pulling and dancing disrespecting them?

[ChewMagma]

Yes

[ChewMagma]

Also that daft penalty.

[ChewMagma]

Also Paqueta trying to toe in with his left foot rather than easily scoring with his right.

[Bacon Horsemeat]

S Korea can level, all it takes is 1 goal every 10 mins. Let's gooooo

Croatia are going to knock them out on penalties before that. The Argentina game has been the most competitive last 16 game so far, Australia kept fighting until the very end.

I hate ITV. I missed three of the four goals thanks to their shitty app.

 

That's before we get on to the ads, their commentary, and their woeful presenter.

OG Fat Ronaldo!

I just don’t think you understand or respect the culture.

[feltmonkey]

Boof! Great goal.

[Fierce Poodle]

Get in

[Hamus]

Ooof. That is a PES style goal.

[Fierce Poodle]

Be funny if the substitute goalkeeper let three in

[Bacon Horsemeat]

Bringing on the sub keeper, now that's taking the piss

Nah, it's a nice touch for somebody who is unlikely to get any other game time in the tournament.

[Boothjan]

Brazil were excellent but the lack of respect really pissed me off. That wanky dance at 4-0 up? Fuck off. Doesn't help that so few of them are likeable. 

 

Everything about the penalty annoyed me too. The stupid dive, the stupid stuttery run up, the stupid celebration.

 

I'm just getting old and grumpy, aren't I?

Nah, they’re really fucking unlikeable. 

[Plissken]

The last time Brazil were actually likeable was 1986.  Nike had got their claws into them by 1994 and even OG Ronaldo couldn't save them.  It's almost as if the Portuguese equivalent of "This means more" is just as annoying.

I was going to say that I liked them in 2002, but then I remembered that this was 2002:

The response to that at the time was so extreme but that clutching your face to indicate you've been viciously attacked when most of the time you've barely been touched happens a lot now doesn't it? Like Messi last week.
