World Cup 2022. The football discussion thread.

What an absolute pasting we gave them

I thought Wales would of put up a better fight tbh, but now i reckon they're just shit. Good to see Rash and Foden score . Definitely better at a faster tempo is England. Could go anyway on Sunday... and i now believe Gareth Southgate is the most miserable, depressing, droid in the world.

Well done England.

He played for England 57 times. Took England to 1/4 finals of last world cup . Finals in last Euros.

I'm sure he'll be troubled by a loser from an internet forum.

I was surprised Wales didn't resort to good old fashioned battle tactics - kick away at Bellingham's bazillion pound legs until he wishes he'd stayed in bed - that sort of thing. It's not exactly an uncommon tactic for the underdog team. Tempt the opposition into losing their tempers, mix it up a bit, get someone sent off. I was expecting something more spirited.

Anyway, well done England. Good to see Rashford playing himself into form.

Much as I hate The Rags, it is great to see Rashford back at his best. Stuff outside football seemed to take over - and maybe threaten to eclipse his talent.

Re Foden and council house haircut. His mum's a classy bird!

In the first half, bit boring, I was intrigued by the weird straight hairline haircuts some of them were sporting. Is it shaved in or painted in? No need to answer, I don't really care.

Disappointing that not one of the Welsh players or their manager acknowledged our outstanding performance or wished us well for the rest of the tournament.

No no no he never just gave that penalty!!!! Did he, really??? Fuck me

Fraid so. Glad it was saved though.

Well, it was cos it was Messi ...
Argentina had to get through somehow!

Fortunately they stepped up after that

[Bigyin]

Just me watching tonight’s games then ?

This tournament keeps going the opposite way everybody expects …… at least it looks like the sunbeds might be free from tomorrow as “ze germans” might well be auf weisersehen

[weeksy]

Nah, but been out for a bit, been catching up on it.

[Felix]

Taking the mick with the extra time in some of these matches.

Shame Costa Rica could not have pulled it off but well done Japan.

Ball looked out to me for Japan winning goal but no doubt their chip in the ball shows it was 0.01mm touching the line

I was hoping they could have....and I've got Spain in the sweep.

Tis tiny, but can't be ignored. Can't have 'nearly' in.
