World Cup of the Damned

[peekay]

Am I the only one getting Zidane-vibes from Bellingham?

He looks amazing, could we get?

Bellingham has bought a house in Formby too?

 

[darkstarexodus]

This Croatian midfield is going to be a test, especially since we're lining up 3-4-3. Modric and Kovacic with an overload advantage... yikes.

 

[Red rose]

That was quick ! 🙂

 

[darkstarexodus]

GET THE FUCK IN, YOU BEAUTY! First ever WC goal for Canada!

 

[Red rose]

A good goal too 😀

 

[Modo]

Imagine trusting Roberto Martinez with your golden generation.

They were Golden between 6-4 years ago. This team is old as fuck

 

[FreshRed]

Really enjoying the amount of shocks happening.

And deserved shocks, too.

 

[FreshRed]

I am enjoying the lack of respect that Canada has shown Belgium and Croatia - two aging teams. They have attacked both relentlessly with speed and impressive one touch passing on the break.

Some interesting young players for both Canada and US that could be interesting options for depth with potential impact.

 

[moron]

That Buchannan, is made for Klopp

 

[darkstarexodus]

Croatia establishing themselves in the match.
Ah fuck, and there it is. Was coming for a while now.

 

[Red Bird]

The Belgians look old

And poor.

Buchanan and David are both definitely players who will be taking a step up soon. Maybe wee Simon at Brugge can put in a good word about the club to Buchanan for us.

 

[darkstarexodus]

Fuck. Needed to get to halftime without conceding a second.

I jinxed them

Goes to ground far too easily, losing momentum and possession.

You'll get another chance in 4 years.

Canadians asleep and concede a third.

 

[darkstarexodus]

Well, it's been a good run. Needed to make our dominance against Belgium count and we didn't.

You lot are all invited over for maple syrup shots.

 

[darkstarexodus]

Gutting result but not surprising. I thought we'd have a tougher time against Croatia. At least we scored. What a moment for Canadian soccer.

 

[Red rose]

Ah am gutted for Canada 🙁

 

[jan]

Put a fork in Belgium, they're done as a force. Look old, tired, and weak.

They were never a force in the first place. What have they ever done besides winning their qualification group and being high on the FIFA ranking (which is a load of shit anyway)?

 

[King Binny]

He's quite lucky to land the Belgium job in the first place, after winning the FA Cup with Wigan and League One title with Swansea.

They did beat England to finish 3rd in the 2018 WC though.

 

[Woland]

 

[Red Bird]

Best chance for Belgium was the 2018 world cup and, maybe, Euro 2020. An D.C. even, there was far too much hype about the team.

 

[Squiggles]

Germany and Spain pretty even and scrappy so far. Neither team are comparable to some of their great sides of the past.

 

[King Binny]

 

[darkstarexodus]

Germany in trouble.
And that's the second time in as many games that Neuer has been beaten at the near post.

 

[Jürgen4PM]

Spain have been much the better team.

 

[Athens]

Germany look poor.

Who's the German manager these days? It's not Joachim the nose picker anymore, is it?

 

[Mojo]

I really like Dani Olmo. Think he can be an excellent replacement for Bobby when the time comes
