OT: Association Football

[Twizzle]

conceded a few at the end but 1-4 was to be expected I guess

 

[Gronk]

Yes very timid.

 

[84 Baby]

We think we too good/don’t trust our teammates enough that we don’t put in necessary hard runs with little chance of getting the ball

 

[Eelementary]

I don't want to blame Mat Ryan for any of those goals - but gee, he is looking slow, and his reflexes aren't looking too sharp...

 

[Suitman]

gee we don't like to press, we just sit back and wait

Typical of Arnie's negative tactics.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Gee our defenders were beaten in the air a bit.

They should give Waqa Blake a run... Safe as houses when the ball is in the air....

 

[Twizzle]

Typical of Arnie's negative tactics.

it sort of sucked how we kept playing the ball back to the keeper without the Frenchies pressing us, I mean the score may have been the same but at least if we went down attacking then we would have at least had a go

we went down defending and that team has way too much talent for us to defend for 90 minutes

I love the world game but this World Cup just doesn't have the same feel.

Thank you.

I'm still watching as many matches as possible because I love football but yeh, the whole tournament is tarnished.

FIFA corruption does that my friend.

Yep. Fully aware of that. That rant from Infantino last week showed that nothing has changed.
FIFA broke all their own rules by awarding them the WC in the first place. Awarding Russia wasn't any better. Clearly bribed by the oligarchs.

Sad. It should be the biggest event in sport.

It still is.

You can't even get a schoey at the ground ffs

Once each game kicks off, I'm (so far successfully) pretending it's being played in some nameless country in eastern europe, rather than where it ended up. Hate the background homophobia and politics of it but still enjoying the event.
