World Cup 2022 - Team and Match Discussion

I wish I could thank this a thousand times.

They think it's the only way to play football and are quite condescending and dismissive when they lose against a style that isn't possession-based.

The complaints will be that Morocco didn't even try to play football and Spain went out playing the right way. The truth is Morocco had a game plan and stuck to it. It wasn't pretty but they're in the QFs and Spain, for their 926 passes and 77% possession, are heading home. And this isn't the first time watching a Spain game where you'd think they could play for days and not score.

They should have learned from the Japan game but they really are just too arrogant and until that changes, they are going to struggle to beat teams and continue whingeing about how unfair it all is. And I will continue to have no sympathy for them.

Some friends of mine have at least acknowledged they don't have the players for it but they are still a way to thinking a different approach might work.

Joanne Cantwell way out of her depth.

3-0 Portugal. Game over.

Game over.

Morocco vs Portugal in the Q/F.

Red & Green Vs Red & Green.

Need to get Ronaldo on, save Ramos for next game 😆

GR26 🤣

Portugal carving through Switzerland like Swiss cheese. 🧀 4-0.

Around the 88th min mark and watch him refuse to come on 😂

4-1. Probably just a consolation goal for Switzerland.

United without Ronaldo are much much better.

Portugal without Ronaldo are much much better.

He could have ended his career at the top of the game by bowing out with grace, instead he has irrecoverably blotted his copy book by acting like a pissy little child. The final humiliation for him. Still, I'm sure the couple of hundred million in blood money that he'll get in the actual farmers league will be enough to soften the blow.

..😄

They're already planning their semi, poor England

Absolutely hilarious 🤣

Ronaldo should star in "Inside I'm crying". 5-1. He will be livid he hasn't been part of this turkey shoot.

The Swiss aren't a team I expected to be on the end of a hiding. Credit to Santos. Seems like Liverpool signed the wrong Benfica striker.

Whatever about the over-hyped Belgian 'Golden Generation', this era of Portugal is properly scary without the moniker. Never remember Belgium playing football this good and they have a major trophy to show for it too.

Ramos looking absolutely unreal alright... and also looks a more like-for-like swap with Firmino.

Manager has more sense, Here comes Ronaldo with 20 minutes left

This could not be more beautiful. Ronnie trying not to look sick.

Row Z coming up from this free kick.

No, into the wall. Either way, he wasn't going to score.

Or someone in the wall getting bruised shins.
