The 2022 World Cup Thread

I watched the game on TV at the BP Sports Club at Llandarcy.
That’s where Kirkpatrick’s All Blacks trained before they thumped the combined Neath & Aberavon side at the Gnoll.

 

Messi wins the luckiest penalty and then has it saved, karma...

 

Not sure how Poland are still in this.

 

So, if things stay as they are, confirmation Poland will progress by virtue of picking up fewer bookings (four to seven) than Mexico.

Both teams are level on points, goal difference, goals scored and head-to-head.

Surely both games won't stay 2-0 though, given what's at stake

Poland are playing for exactly that.

 

Really hope Argentina or Mexico get another goal.

 

Me too.

 

An Rs version of that Argentina away strip would be sweet

 

And the Saudis sink your dreams - although another Mexico goal will still see them through

 

It wasn't that big a deal for me, but it was pretty horrible watching Poland play for a 2-0 defeat.

 

Based on the two matches Poland were not deserving today to proceed to the Round of 16. At least it was not yellow cards.

 

Mexico had two late goals disallowed.

 

Don't fancy Poland's chances against France after that turgid performance..........

 

Sorry Beth !

 

This Croatia v Belgium game is poor. It's a poor game. Belgium need to pull something special out of the bag now.

 

Whereas the Canada v Morocco game has been really entertaining according to Beeb text......

HALF-TIME
Canada 1-2 Morocco

The whistle goes. What a great first half that was! Really enjoyable.

Morocco are on course to reach the last 16 for just the second time in their history.

 

I clearly picked the wrong game. If Chair was starting I would've tuned in to that one.

 

Even De Bruyne's forgotten how to kick a ball.

 

Horrible first half for Canada, poor defender backpacks to goalkeeper who should have just put his boot through the clearance instead of trying to dribble the ball out. The second Morocco goal was also very poor defensive work with two defenders on the goal scorer. Lucky deflection to get Canada back in game, then a late let-off with an offside call to negate a 3rd Morocco goal. Just hope they can turn it around in the 2nd half, or they will join El Salvador in the unenviable distinction of losing their first 6 World Cup matches!
