World Cup 2022

[Alla]

Busy with stuff and I didn't watch a single minute of this, just saw the result now. Costa Rica to beat Germany to complete this nonsense.

Not that f slur @RaspberrySwirl in second place on copabet

Wasn't he DEAD LAST 2 days ago? How did he do this? No, don't tell me, I don't wanna know

 

[RS]

Some of us didn’t want to peak too early.

 

[Soldi]

This Cameroon-Serbia match is surprisingly interesting

3-3 with 25 minutes to go

 

[Alla]

#TeamCameroooon

 

[RS]

Fucking Cameroon, now that bloody @Tisch has overtaken me.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I'm still TOP, but haven't had a success in days.

 

[Soldi]

I’ve dropped to sixth

 

[Indie]

At least i'm higher than @dmlaw

All of my "off the wall" guesses have gone nowhere and all of my "dead cert" choices ended up losing too.

 

[Indie]

Mind you, I did pick Ghana to win this game, so maybe this is where i turn it around.

 

[Soldi]

I predicted a Korea win

The comeback starts here

 

[Lucille]

Why are the straights doing so bad at copabet?

 

[Soldi]

[Soldi]

Ghana back ahead

What a couple of crackers today’s first two games have been.

 

[Marina Salty]

Oh ffs, why are they so unpredictable.

 

[dmlaw]

I decided not to enter Copabet this time around. Any evidence that you might see to the contrary is clearly some sort of false memory.

 

[Alla]

Oh ffs, why are they so unpredictable.

Isn't that good? More entertaining.

 

[Alla]

11 goals so far today? wtf!?

 

[Marina Salty]

Isn't that good? More entertaining.

Well normally yes but my bet was on South Korea

 

[RS]

I can’t believe I’ve been missing all the games, despite being home for a week but I really can’t bring myself to watch. I’ll wait until the group games are over.

 

[Generic Account]

I haven't watched any of this but I've just walked in on the Portugese team doing their anthem.

 

[Generic Account]

Omg and Uruguay.

And what a snazzy anthem.

 

[win_the_game]

Someone running onto the pitch with a pride flag is probably the most interesting thing that's happened in this game.

Were they executed live?

 

[Soldi]

The front of his t-shirt also said ‘Save Ukraine’

 

[Soldi]

AND he’s hot

 

[win_the_game]

He's an Italian former footballer. He left the sport at the start of the war in Ukraine to help evacuate refugees to safety in Poland and seek asylum.

 

[Alla]

I assume Moopy is already non-stop drinking in the pub, good luck @Kalabaliken and the rest of football aficionados

 

[Madison]

The coverage on S4C is terribly biased. I think.

 

[dmlaw]

The coverage on S4C is terribly biased. I think.

I’d imagine they just assume that none of the English will bother watching it on there. They don’t know that we’ve all got second homes on their channel.

 

[Madison]

Wales win on looks.

Why is the camera focussing on that short one?

 

[Alla]

Oh I know G. Bale, he played here and was quite the star of the season, i didn't know he was from Wales.

 

[Madison]

Is it normal to have football on BBC One and Two at the same time? I’d assumed ITV would show the other match.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Engerlund

They always have the two games with the same broadcaster. I think they used to put the second game on BBC3. I don’t remember them having it on 1 and 2 at the same time before, unless there were two home nations playing in different games.

 

[Alla]

Well they're adding no less than TWENTY minutes extra

Edit: only 5??

 

[Madison]

Oh no. The US scored

 

[ButterTart]

This is fucking DULL. Wales to win for the megabantz pls.

 

[Madison]

Fuck - the US just scored again

Edit: False alarm
