World Cup of the Damned

[Modo]

Me too. Honestly, maybe it's just the ease of watching matches due to streaming services but I'm loving watching so many matches, even when working, commuting, etc.

Yep, have it in the background at work. Personally, I think the world cup gets a bit boring when the underdogs get knocked out.

 

[rubans]

Really? I think it's been OK.

Same.
Enjoy the unique all in one place tournament feel.
There’s probably less “worse” teams than previously historically across Asia and Africa which makes group stages more competitive.
Feel The number of true top teams are still same as before, don’t know about the constant moaning about but I think it’s just a case of all being older than any real big difference.

Agree that Brazil look very strong, but without Neymar they could struggle a bit forward.
France look good too.

There are others who could be in the mix, like Croatia and maybe an African team - romanticism lives.

I miss Ronaldo, Ronaldinho et al.

This Brazil are a boring turgid side (and all recent incarnations in fairness). I can't believe they're playing Richarlison up front.

Could be worse, could be Fred.

Ecuador v Senegal is good stuff.

10 minutes left, Senegal a goal up and need to win.

Two crap teams but Senegal deservedly edged it because Ecuador were totally toothless up front. Neither of these were frightening anyone.

Poor Sadio

Probably still enough to beat the ultra defensive Southgate though.

I seriously doubt it. But we shall see.

[Athens]

Welsh player knocked out after heading the ball

 

[Athens]

Interesting fact, a basketball court can fit inside an 18 yard box.

 

[Jürgen4PM]

Wales letting England have all of the ball and obviously setting them up for a killer counter attack.

 

[Shadey]

Get Trent on he’ll give em hell.

 

[Athens]

Rolls Royce of a player

 

[Jürgen4PM]

Wales dominating tactically

 

[Hansern]

Get Trent on he’ll give em hell.

Ssshhh, say that quietly around this place.

 

[Frogfish]

Rashford has been awful - hardly made a pass as well as missing a great chance one on one (well done Danny Ward). He should be off for Grealish to draw the fouls.

Goal against the run of play......One of the manc twats
