Smaller population than NZ. They are some footballing country. This is not a one-off they are often in the mix.
Losing finalists last time round

Yes and you wouldn't bet against them now beating Argentina and playing France again in the final. Their mentality and spirit really is quite something else.

You’re dreaming. That’s the kind of thing that turns people off soccer. He was barely touched.Really? You've not watched much of the game then have you? Every professional would have gone down at that point from any nation. Lord Harry Kane is a master of it.
Just because they would all do it doesn't mean that it doesn't turn people off the game. Sport shouldn't be about play acting.
Lol yeah "turns people off" by far the most popular sport in the world. Yeah gee they've got a real crisis on their hands

That was a pen all day - when someone chops back and you leave your foot there.
Fantastic free kick routine to pull off in the last chance saloon.
Given who the Dutch had on the field they should have carried on lumping it forward and pinned Argentina back - deserved to lose before pens given the chances that Argentina had.

Yes, really odd the way that, having taken control of the match by lumping it forward to their big units, the Dutch completely shelved that tactic during extra time.
Credit to the Dutch for their late comeback, but Argies deservedly won - much better throughout the match, save for the last 10 mins or so of normal time where they completely lost their heads.

How can you say that when the game was decided by penalty kicks, nothing more nothing less.

Yeah let’s not ever try to improve anything. Why is rugby even bothering with all these rule changes.@duke said in FIFA World Cup 2022:

I’m having a mare with the picks so far. But well done Morocco.

No one called that

England don’t look comfortable with the ball
England 0-1 France
18mins -
The fix is in
Definitely foul against Kane
Should have been a penalty
-
Good game. England right in it. France's goal a screamer of a hit.
Seen softer than that penalty given many times. We were wondering if VAR considered it outside the area and you don't go back for free kicks

Definitely the case. Outside the VAR remit.
You guys not getting the Martin Tyler on BEIN coverage? Was explained as that in our commentary feed.
