2022 FIFA World Cup (Part 1)

You thinking of drafting Shane Walsh in?

The standard of the best players in every country in the worlds most popular sport playing against each other could be a bit higher alright

Typical England hype sure

It’s a very short highlights reel thus far.

Is there a lot of hype outside of England itself, I haven’t read the thread, moving too quickly

But the way things have gone when you look at their team they’re at least the equal of what’s left, Saka and Foden playing with real freedom, Harry Kane is always dangerous, could be tough times ahead

If you don’t think the last 2 games have been epic then i don’t know what to say to you. Are you on the wind ?

There was lovely needle in that game. Iconic scenes when the entire crew of Netherlands subs burst onto the pitch to confront Paredes. I was a few pints deep at that stage and had to check that it actually did happen it was so remarkable at the time.

I’ve no doubt this is true

The theme of this world cup has been subs acting the cunt. Either running on celebrating, dancing or burying lads. There were more subs booked last night than players I’d say

If you encroach on the field it should be an automatic red

I think it’s more important that it’s a very balanced and open tournament. You wouldn’t mind a slight dip in standard if the tournament was packed full of memorable games this one. This is much more enjoyable than the 2014 quarter-finals for instance. We were treated to borefests between Holland and Costa Rica, Germany and France and Argentina and Belgium back then.

It’s gaaesque. Aguero on the pitch after too was like a lad after a county final

They were like a mob or gang going around. It was mad they were all huddled that close together to launch the attack.

No because the coaching structures here are non existant outside dublin

Correct mate. Basketball and Tennis huge over there

Was at work party last night so missed it, whattsapp groups were raving about thrm. Saw Neymar’s goal, touch of thearadona about it. Its been a great world cup.

It disgusts me how some cunts are always looking for excuses.

Have we ever produced a midfelder that would have got in that Croatian midfield last night? Maybe Brady. Not old enough to remember how good Brady was in his prime.
