FIFA World Cup: Qatar 2022

Really like the look of Alvarez. Wish we’d nabbed him

Porn Stache got a yellow within 14 minutes…keeping up his reputation

There’s been a lot of crowd noise overdubbing in this tournament. Especially in the first round.

Confused him with Ottamendi maybe?

Thought De Paul had an excellent match today and some small guy upfront who I did not know, he wears number 10 …

Couldn’t the defender (Fernandez?) just let the shot go? How could he not tell that it was going well wide!

Didn’t watch all of either game, but just caught up on highlights, and Dutch look significantly better than Argentinans.

6 points from a group most predicted we would finish last in. 2 clean sheets. Scored in all 4 games. Our best result at a WC

So yeah, why would it no be looked at in a positive light?

Well done the Aussies :grin:

They sure gave a good account of themselves.

Only lost by a goal, and 1 of those goals came by Ryan trying to be like Ali.

And the 2 chances they had to make it 2-2 with Behrich and that 18 year old.

Not to say Argentina didn’t have their chances as well but if you compare Australia’s performance to Poland’s or Mexico’s…

Shocking defending by USA for Hollands third.
Is Robinson related to Trent?

Dumfries 2 assists, 1 goal and 1 goal line clearance.

It seemed clear to me that Argentina did the bare minimum they had to. I wouldn’t read too much into the performance level. They advanced, which is what they set out to do. I’m not sure it will tell us an awful lot about how they will play against the Netherlands.

I mean I see why Lautaro is not starting, he had, what, 5 clear cut chances and all straight at the keeper :man_facepalming:t2:

Koopmeiners is a bloody huge bloke! Also did VVD even break a sweat?!

Bergwijn does one good thing and then something stupid like turn back when he has support on either side and lose the ball.

Robinson is on the left plus he is not an attacker disguised as a fullback like Trent.

Careful with your slanderous aspersions good sir!

That being said what the hell was he doing?! DD had time to wave twice at Blind to indicate to him where to cross :man_facepalming:t2:

If Netherlands were to win the World Cup (& I know it’s a big if) where would that rank Virgil in the list of all time CB greats?

Still behind Hairy Muguire according to mancs.

Got to be right up there with all time greats then. Top 5?
