World Cup General Discussion Thread - 2030 The Jokes On You

Oh dear. Will wait for the @Smudger post mortem...

 

It was nearly 15 minutes in the end. Said 8, clock stopped for 2 because of head injury and yet still the ref managed to unearth an extra 3 min to try and fix the game. TBF I think Argentina could have had 100 more minutes and still wouldn't have scored.

 

I remember when Argentina players used to play with daggers between the teeth as well as having skill.

Brilliant stuff from the Saudis, one of them nearly died for the cause ffs.

 

Yeah, absolutely no idea where the extra 6 minutes came from, I’m all for the real stoppage time being added on but that was ********.

 

Those of you that aren't boycotting this World Cup of shame missed an excellent Homes Under the Hammer this morning

 

Truly one of the all-time great team performances. The goals were great quality, the defending was outstanding, work-rate unquestionable and some excellent saves from the keeper. Brave tactics played to perfection.

 

Absolutely sensational result. Argentina vs Mexico on Saturday is almost must win.

 

Saudi Arabia doing their bit to improve the image and reputation of Newcastle United with that performance.

 

Looks like Batman is playing for Tunisia.

 

Number 14 for Tunisia has been immense.

 

Ali Abdi playing for Tunisia. Close but good enough for me.

Bring back the King.

 

Alongside Troy's cousin.

Luai Deeney.

 

The Saudi Dawson scored for them today as well.

 

I'm hearing there is a late VAR decision in the Argie game. 1-1 final score.

 

You ain't see nothin' yet. Given Bachmann's injury, when we play Huddersfield on 17th Dec, at corners you may get to see Holmes under the Hamer, live.

 

Lewandowski misses with a really crap pen. Still can't score in a World Cup.

Mexico playing with NEW energy as opposed to the crap old energy.

Martin Keown trying to suck the life out of the commentary.

 

Mexico flattering to deceive against an obdurate Polish team.

 

If Mexico do score then I think the stadium will spontaneously combust.

 

I don't see Argentina not beating both of these.

For the 1st time in ever, I'm preferring ITV. But you can add 5live commentary on the red button which I find nicer. If you can tolerate non HD images.

 

Time to place your bets for the amount of time to be added on.

+7 mins.

Excellent. A Mexican fan with sombrero and replica World Cup.

 

Is this infinity sign that appears bookending replays relating to time waiting for Argentina to score from open play?

 

Shouldn't Vincent Kompany be looking after his Burnley team rather than being a pundit.

 

He's hoovering up ideas to use in the Champ. Edwards is following Brazil for the same reason (Alan Brazil that is.)

 

Australia makes it all look so easy, nice winger assist for the other winger to score. Like a GT team in its prime.

 

Not a knee jerk reaction but I think England, Saudi Arabia or Australia will lift the trophy this time round.

 

Cheering Australia and Saudi Arabia in one day feels a delightfully dirty moment

 

And on the actual football played thus far, England looking head and shoulders the best team….is it coming home???

 

Is that unlucky?

Myself I find it weird that it can be just your hand and forearm offside and you get VAR'd... when you can't play the ball with your arm anyway.

 

This Aussie team are a fashion nightmare. Bad taches, poorly executed mohawks and mullets abound.

 

I feel the same.

Not sure what I'll do if Argentina ever play L*ton

 

It is not.
