Sports Qatar 2022 World Cup

I wouldn't bet given the results so far. On paper it should be Brazil vs France given FIFA rankings but the number 2 is already out and the number 6 didn't qualify.

My bet is relying on matches played. Seen all . No team is dominating , but Brazil and France look better than the rest. And Neymar is out , so this is somehow good for the team, IMO

Yeah, but playing in Qatar in summer would be like running a 2-hour marathon in a sauna.

There's an easy answer to that and it involves flushing the toilet that is FIFA.

Well yeah. That would require an independent body to investigate it though, because when they investigated themselves they unsurprisingly found no evidence of bribe taking.

 

[kiki voinea]

So , another proof of brute force from France (when they want to )

 

[WBarnes]

So far so good. A nice way to reach HT.

 

[WBarnes]

3-0 for England. France now, that will be tough.

 

[kiki voinea]

Well , most team were pretty weak...

Poland , US , Aussies , they just went there and just played defence-mode

From now on we should see some cool games

 

[WBarnes]

Oh dear, Switzerland... that was painful to watch... no pun.

 

[kiki voinea]

Xhaka si Shakiri wasted their angriness with Serbia. Swiss played bad.

But then again , Portugal was on another level last night. If they play like that , they might have a chance for WC.

Honestly , I've never seen them play like that , in years. Cristiano is a bit of a mess for the team. Toxic ( and I feel bad saying that , because I am a Cristiano fan )

Portugal is highly likely to get through to the SF after seeing that. The other SF is almost guaranteed to be Brazil vs Argentina, although I hope the Netherlands prove me wrong. France vs England is difficult to call, both have performed well, and they are ranked 4th and 5th in FIFA rankings on paper too. If it goes to penalties, then it will be France due to the curse which cannot be lifted, so hopefully England can do something inside 90 minutes.

I was with you until you started even entertaining the thought of England beating France hahaha, whatever shit your are on is one hell of a drug buddy.

If Saudi Arabia can beat Argentina and Japan can beat Germany and Cameroon can beat Brazil... Then you have the fact that Switzerland beat said Cameroon and then lost to Portugal 6-1... Tunisia beat France. Football does not make sense.

There is a limit, you are talking about England. The forces of the universe does not even want them to win.

Football doesn't obey the forces of the universe. Weird shit happens during the match and at the end there's a result.

Very enjoyable World Cup so far.

I'm not so sure about that. They changed the team a bit but everyone was very surprised watching them playing that well. Cristiano Ronaldo's haters really enjoyed that game.
Ramos scored a hat-trick on his first official match. WTH!
It worked that time but let's see if they can play well this Saturday...

I'm think I might be underestimating Morocco. They haven't actually lost yet, and only 1 draw against Croatia, hell maybe underestimating Croatia too.

 

[TopspeedPT]

...and Brazil out.

 

[Matski]

...and Brazil out.

Right... that's THE last time I ever wager money on kickball.



Until tomorrow.

Bravo Croatia! Unbelievable result!
