World Cup 2022

[Kala]

I hate how Americans pronounce it as

TOO-NEE-ZAH

That’s probably all I have to say about things today.

The Tunisian team

Imagine Iran and then Tunisia running a train on you

Argentina now given a 51% chance of getting out of the group stage.

 

[rhythmbandit]

Only 5 minutes of extra time.

 

[rhythmbandit]

Maybe extended slightly.

 

[Soldi]

So much drama for what is *currently* a 0-0 match.

 

[Indie]

Is that a VAR decision going in favour of an Arab country?

That doesn't seem right.

 

[Soldi]

 

[Indie]

Can we have one for our win against Iran?

 

[Soldi]

And the shocks continue - Australia have scored against France in the first ten minutes.

 

[Alla]

I don't know when or against who we play but I'm scared. (well if I cared about it)

Tomorrow against Costa Rica

 

[Indie]

Suddenly England's win seems all the more special.

 

[Alla]

Tomorrow against Costa Rica

Oh is it tomorrow? Now I understand why I asked today for an appointment to get the flu vaccine and they told me I could go tomorrow any time in the evening

 

[RS]

And the shocks continue - Australia have scored against France in the first ten minutes.

I give up

 

[Indie]

Pretty straightforward for France in the end...

 

[rhythmbandit]

Pretty straightforward for France in the end...

And only 8 minutes of added time at the end.

 

[Alla]

And only 8 minutes of added time at the end.

8 minutes only?? I assume they didn't stop to even breath during the 45 minutes.

 

[Alla]

Imagine if they lose

Before this game (Germany vs Japan):

18 goals scored from open play
16 teams played a match
10 goals from open play scored by England or France (56%)

 

[ILL ADVISED]

Japan have equalised against Germany

 

[Soldi]

2-1 Japan!

It’s ok, Germany only have to play Spain next

 

[ILL ADVISED]

Oops. I spoke too soon!

 

[win_the_game]

I think Germany could be on course for another group stage exit if they continue like this.

 

[Soldi]

Not feeling too confident about my prediction of an Argentina v Germany final right now

 

[Diddy]

Wtf
I was expecting 3 nights of people talking about football here, and they beat Germany?

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Very unpredictable tournament thus far.

 

[Soldi]

Someone tell the ITV commentators that Kane’s already had the scan and is FINE.

Ssh, they’re trying to trick the Americans.

 

[RS]

I’ve been missing almost all games. Work and it’s really not the same feeling watching this during winter.

 

[Alla]

I should be wathching this to get ready for next week, I have a relative coming for the week and he's made it clesr we're gonna watch them all. So lucky

 

[Alla]

Wait I just found out Germany has lost to Japan!? @Diddy to strip on cam to celebrate.

 

[Lucille]

100 maximum points from copabet for my deranged prediction Japan would beat Germany. I’m coming for you girls!

 

[Lucille]

Of course I was doing so terribly before then it QUADRUPLED my score.

 

[RS]

I was wondering how come you had 100 points more than me! I’m dead last together with this YlvaLinda whoever that is.

At least in good company

@Tisch currently winning Copabet

 

[RS]

Didn’t @Tisch win last year too after being last almost the whole time?
