World Cup 2022

[Soldi]

They almost didn't.

100% copabet record so far

Same

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I can't get into copabet anymore.

 

[RS]

I’m last on Copabet (which we all know is like ASFM and means I won’t peak too early).

 

[Soldi]

THREE Argentina goals ruled out

THREE Argentina goals ruled out

You would almost think they were playing against a Middle Eastern team.

 

[win_the_game]

This half-time argument between Roy Keane and Graeme Souness is probably the most entertaining part so far.

 

[Soldi]

OMG!!

 

[win_the_game]

How on earth are Saudi Arabia in the lead?

 

[RS]

FFS get your shit together Argentina!

 

[Alla]

How on earth are Saudi Arabia in the lead?

What????

 

[RS]

Love that the name of the stadium in Arabic writing could be read as Stade @Lucille

 

[Soldi]

I still reckon Argentina will manage to pull one or two back.

 

[rhythmbandit]

Come through, Messi.

 

[Soldi]

Is that every match they’ve announced the attendance to be higher than the stadium capacity?

I don’t know anymore.

 

[rhythmbandit]

I don’t know anymore.

Maybe in the 20 minutes of extra time, perhaps?

 

[RS]

Maybe in the 20 minutes of extra time, perhaps?

Inshallah

 

[rhythmbandit]

78 minutes of extra time added so far.

 

[Alla]

Why are they adding so much time in every match?

 

[Alla]

Is Argentina still behind?

 

[dmlaw]

Why are they adding so much time in every match?

Apparently, they are trying to stamp out time wasting by having the fourth official pay much more attention to the actual length of gaps in play than they did previously.

 

[Alla]

Those poor Argentinians getting up at 6 am for this

 

[BoysForSeles]

Only started watching around the 55 minute mark and how the fuck did SA score 2 goals, Argentina always seem to have the ball.

VAT awarded SA a couple of goals for unknown reasons.

 

[win_the_game]

What a shocker!

If it carries on there's going to be some exhausted players come the quarters/semis.

 

[Soldi]

FUCKING HELL THIS IS MASSIVE

 

[rhythmbandit]

Evil death stare from Diego Schwartzman in the stands.

 

[ILL ADVISED]

Wowzer!

 

[ILL ADVISED]

Argentina haven’t lost in 3 years and that loss was to Brazil

 

[Alla]

Tunisia to destroy Denmark next.

 

[dmlaw]

I’m not feeling good about my Copabet prediction for Argentina to reach the semi final. Or my chances of winning Indie’s sweepstake.

I had them winning the whole thing

 

[RS]

What a disaster

 

[Kratz]

This is why we love the World Cup

 

[RS]

There’s always one big team collapsing

 

[Kratz]

There’s always one big team collapsing

And this is before the near certainty of France finishing bottom of their group (as is mandatory for the holders)

I cannot help but think (feel?) that the bonkers nature of this WC is going to produce a bonkers winner a la Greece Euro 2004

 

[RS]

Oh no I couldn’t face another Franch messy bottoming (like in 2010).


The Euro cup in Greece was another disaster.

 

[Soldi]

Argentina, Brazil and France all to go out in the groups to clear the path for an English victory

 

[Soldi]

The Tunisian team
