Re: World Cup 2022. The football discussion thread.
Caught a comment about the last 16 on the radio. Half were European. Considering the teams that weren't there, like Germany and Belgium (not to mention Italy), that's quite impressive.
Maybe we should stick it to FIFA and just have a European competition. (Winner plays the winner of Brazil v Argentina for the world title ).

Here's hoping I don't have to work on Sunday!! LOL LOL
Equally, if I go to a french bar I can walk home - the brit bar that's open needs someone to give me a lift home!!

Definitely French. If FR win, then join in with the general jollity into the wee small hours. If EN win, you can be magnanimous in victory and console the devastated French fans into the wee small hours...

If it's an evening match it'll have to be a Brit bar as the French ones will be shut!

Re: World Cup 2022. The football discussion thread.
TBF, I'm gonna be pushing my luck to get the bus home (just realised it's the first day of the season!) if I stay in the Brit place! Going there early to see a band I like, but will probably get the bus back to my bit of resort and go French!! LOL (I think I'd prefer the French to win anyway!!)mangocrazy wrote: ↑Mon Dec 05, 2022 2:48 pmDefinitely French. If FR win, then join in with the general jollity into the wee small hours.

Re: World Cup 2022. The football discussion thread.
I'm doing patriotic nudey streaking, random acts of violence and daubing a cross of St George on the boulangerie window, if England win on Saturday.
It's only a bit of fun innit!

Re: World Cup 2022. The football discussion thread.
Although we take the mick out of our own bad rep it was telling that the only violence at the CL final was from the French, and they weren't even taking part!

Re: World Cup 2022. The football discussion thread.
I think that was the locals, not even proper fans, taking advantage of the terrible planning and location. It's an awful location for a stadium.

Again, hardly the scousers fault that the french build a stadium on the wrong place, can't manage it and can't organise it.

Re: World Cup 2022. The football discussion thread.
Penalty shoot-out! C'mon you dodgy blondes!
It's been interesting. Croatia more accurate but Japan more energetic but with lots of passes about a foot off the mark and losing momentum in many moves.
I don't think either will scare some of the teams likely to get into the last 8.

Oh dear.
PS Modric looks like Catweazle.
PPS Japan must train with England at penalties.

You would think they had won the tournament the diving bastards. Barisic deserves an Oscar.

Anyone giving odds on Brazil losing tonight? Could be quite a fruity semi in that half of the group.
Brazil/Argentina v Spain/France?
