        You are welcome to abuse me as much as you want (comparing me to Baron is a touch low though), but I'm simply highlighting what you have been at pains to point out all the way through this thread.

        @NTA said in FIFA World Cup 2022:

        It's sort of funny how all this stuff now comes out. I know SFA about the game but I wouldn't have expected us to beat either Euro nation and no idea about Tunisia. According to the maths we were going to finish bottom of our pool...

        @NTA said in FIFA World Cup 2022:

        @broughie knowing fuck all about the strategy or formations: at times it seemed the Aussies were making easy inroads. Not sure Argentina's defence is up to it against better attacking teams

        @NTA said in FIFA World Cup 2022:

        Not a sport I have any claim of understanding, but Australia look like they just can't keep possession

        If you are going to continue to say you don't know it, get it or whatever, then why continue to comment on it? Especially with such dross.

        @NTA said in FIFA World Cup 2022:

        straya good at the kickball.

        @NTA said in FIFA World Cup 2022:

        That's what they get for not being French or German or Dutch.

        @NTA said in FIFA World Cup 2022:

        Aw get up ya fucking sook

        @NTA said in FIFA World Cup 2022:

        @broughie brown card. Due to it being shit

        @NTA said in FIFA World Cup 2022:

        @broughie insult to pussies

        If you are going to continually post shit, expect to get called on it every now and again.

            Polish keeper looks to see where the ball is going before feigning injury. Urgh.

                  Mbappe is fucking amazing.

                  Two screamers vs Poland, on top of speed, ball control.

                  The complete package

                      Good game so far. Ref letting things go a little. England clinical and score.

                        Walker should have been YC

                        Great move and finish

                        But very much against the run of play

                          What is impressive about the African nations is their pace and strength. I expected them to kick on more from the nineties but probably an economic and infrastructure problem.

                                  He started quietly but good there: no idea how foden wasn’t in the earlier starting XIs, he’s been excellent for MC this year so far.

                                    Some generous timekeeping from the ref there. Senegal needed to foul on halfway to break up that fast break.

                                      Cane looks better as a holding player rather pushing all the way forward. He’s had a great spell in the last 20.

                                        Watching this WC for the first time and despite England going 3 up with some good goals, the game is not grabbing me. Seems all a bit negative to me and by the cringe the comms blokes are completely Barry White. It’s like they’re just not that interested, plus they’re all boring, monotonal half wits.

                                        Classic example: You can’t relax against any of these teams left, they’re all full of internationals.

                                        Really? Wouldn’t have thought that.

                                          of course, we get that all the time, this was the first time ive heard anyone go as far as allowing for the curve of the ball rather than just contact at ground level

                                          Who didn't know the rule?

                                          In soccer the line is in.

                                          It's just those who want the rule to be wrong.

                                          as i say, id (and lots of other apparently) never seen an example where we can clearly see grass on the other side of the line and it still be call in due to the curve of the ball, not saying it was the wrong call, just saying there are a lot of people that didn't know that was taken into consideration and so for those people...at first glance...it was a mile out
