World Cup Qatar 2022 - Desert Strike

[ryodi]

It was terrible game management. They were a goal up with two minutes to play. 

[neoELITE]

The last time I saw that many Brazilians weeping was when I was a doctor in the clap clinic in Amsterdam.

[Bucky]

They were celebrating and hugging after the end of that first period of extra time.  

 

It was almost as if some form of footballing entitlement was propelling them forward against a resilient and indomitable opponent who refused to lie down and let the premature victory lap commence.

 

Where have we seen that before?

How are Argentina supposed to play next after spending the last 15 minutes pissing themselves?

Be interesting to see what happens now Croatia have to go balls out.

 

They got them out and slapped them around the face of Neymar.

[Fierce Poodle]

No wonder he was crying like a baby.

[Fierce Poodle]

What are the odds on a Brazil/Argentina double whammy.

[Fierce Poodle]

Tight as a nun’s anus this one.

[the_debaser]

Ridiculous from Messi. 

[Gotters]

That should count as 2 assists

[Fierce Poodle]

Class from Messi

[Plissken]

What an incredible pass.

[Loik V credern]

Satisfying finish because i thought the touch might be too heavy, keeper closes down and he goes high hitting his body. The faintest press of the shoot button on pro evo finish which always works when you're close. 

 

I want to see the pass again to see how Messi knows. 

[Corrogate]

Awesome

[Seanfl9]

Currently at the Lusail Stadium watching Netherlands v Argentina and I can honestly say England are fucking bringing it home... These are shite. 

 

 

Just the minor issue of tackling France/Portugal along the way.. 

[feltmonkey]

My god they're a dirty team, Argentina.  

 

This ref is a weird one. He's one of those refs who wants to make himself the focus of attention. So he's booking subs and stuff, but I can't really argue with any of the decisions on the field. I just wonder if he's going to pull out a controversial decision in the second half.

[Silent Runner]

Good half there. Big fan of the referee firing out cards all over the place. 

[Ork1927]

England vs Argentina is the most interesting final isn’t it - even without the bias.

 

Copa America winners vs the Euro finalists (with the winners not qualifying).

 

Can Messi win the World Cup (in what must be his last chance)

 

Can Southgate’s England go one better again on the last two tournaments.

 

And then the ‘86/‘98 knock out games history.

 

I guess it might also be Portugal vs Argentina but now Ronaldo is a sulking sub.....

[Silent Runner]

How is Messi not booked there?

agreed, they should have tried harder not to concede. Idiots!

[Fierce Poodle]

Netherlands do not deserve to win this they have been shite.

[Boothjan]

Theres an astonishing lack of quality on show here, from both sides.

 

Loads of awful passes going astray, possession being cheaply squandered etc. 

 

It's not good.

[SeanR]

“2. Whenever Messi isn’t on screen all the commentators should talk about Messi”

[Fierce Poodle]

Argies totally bossing it like mofos

[Gabe]

The Netherlands haven't offered anything in attack and yet Argentina haven't really done an awful lot either. Not been a great day for goalmouth action, has it?

 

[Chewylegs]

The Netherlands are playing like they don't know they are losing and going out.  It's really rather odd.

[ryodi]

Netherlands have been rubbish and that is a penalty which should end the contest. 

[Fierce Poodle]

Well that’s that. Netherlands out with barely a whimper.

[glb]

Neverlands once again.
