2022 World Cup... gonna ruin the European Season

[Gazza Dazzla]

People are annoyed that he played Mount for 180 mins when he has been terrible all season, also Sterling shouldn't be an automatic starter either

I agrée with both this and @harr1984 post.

I think réactions to the result / performance are a bit OTT, but some of the selections do still baffle me. Mount is soo poor and you have to find a way of playing Foden and Grealish in this team. I fancy Walker to feature in the later stages of the tournament as well.

Think the ITV commentators may be wearing full Saudi Arabia team kit in the commentary box.

They’ve been brilliant from what I’ve seen, deserve the plaudits.

Although looks like they’re going to lose 2-0 to an average Polish team.

And then hand it on a plate to Lewandowski

Who could have added another.

Saudis were good but Poland's experience was probably the difference. Saudi Arabia get a second chance of qualifying against Mexico, while Poland probably still need something against Argentina.

Some good goals in this game

 

[Mcfee]

PEH has been very good. Also impressed with Kounde.

 

[Bedfordspurs]

Schneichel is a fudging vampire of a keeper

 

[Mcfee]

That cross from Griezmann for the goal was almost Kulusevski standard.

 

[Yiddo]

Argentina go out if they lose.

I don't think it even got a mention, as the commentators were gushing over Mbappe.

 

[Mcfee]

Argentina go out if they lose.

Di Maria still starting despite dropping 5 players is a surprise to me. He’s about 10 years past his peak at this stage.

Argentina go out if they lose.

They’re screwed. I backed them to win the tournament. Might as well have set fire to the money.

They have such a bang average team.

 

[Baleforce]

Left their best player in Spain.

 

[Gutter Boy]

Left their best player in Spain.

Was just about to write that. Why deny Messi the opportunity of partnering the GOAT?

Should've backed this guy for best actor at the Oscars.

 

[Robbo]

Cameroonian player (with dual citizenship) has Russian flag on his boots - "no problem", says FIFA spokesperson, denying to answer questions about why this isn't seen as a political statement.

 

[Mcfee]

This is dreadful stuff.
But strangely compelling.

 

[Bedfordspurs]

This isn’t the Argentina I was expecting this WC
They are really missing Correa and Lo Celso as options but their attack looks so blunt and their defence has no aggression
TBF none of these players are playing at the very top level clubs other than the aging Messi
