Brazil now off the leash completely at 3 up and a joy to watch ...... this could get really bad for the South Koreans

Losing 1 - 0 is really just as bad as losing 6 - 0.

By the end of the 2nd half South Korea might settle for losing by 6

Re: World Cup 2022. The football discussion thread.
Yes. I'm beginning to think that if a team gets stuck in the Brazilians might just prove a bit fragile. The next round could be more interesting than I thought.Bigyin wrote: ↑Mon Dec 05, 2022 8:42 pmKorea havent given up and Allison in the Brazil goal has had to make 3 decent saves to keep them down to 1Count Steer wrote: ↑Mon Dec 05, 2022 8:08 pm

Re: World Cup 2022. The football discussion thread.
I am hoping the Brazilians get absolutely stuffed in the next round - purely on the basis of the ridiculously smug dancing they have taken to doing after scoring.

It's a bit like the all blacks doing their shouty haka thing - the rest of the world is slightly charmed by it.
It's a shame there's not an equivalent for the England team that wouldn't be ridiculous.

Re: World Cup 2022. The football discussion thread.
There isn't really anything that suits is there?
It should be a dance but the English don't really have anything other than the Morris Dance, the Hokey Cokey or the Conga.
Maybe Harry Kane could recite some poetry.?

A line-up doing the Peter Crouch robot might be mildly amusing

Re: World Cup 2022. The football discussion thread.
I would have said 2-0 Spain at the start but this could be another surprise result

Re: World Cup 2022. The football discussion thread.
It's all a bit 'scruffy'. Morocco defending well but Spain not looking very connected. Nothing to scare anyone in the next round. Heading for extra time methinks.
Those digital advertising hoarding are quite impressive.

I think that sums up how much spark there has been in the game that the advertising is what caught the eyeCount Steer wrote: ↑Tue Dec 06, 2022 4:40 pm
