SEE YOU! A brand spanking new modern fitba thread 2022/23

8 minutes stoppage time? What is with this shit?

 

This arena will explode if the saudis win

 

Well, I'll put it this way... Brazil wouldn't struggle with the Saudis.

 

Can't the Saudi oil money cut stoppage time to 3 mins?

 

Wow wtf was that

 

Khtfo

 

Is this gonna be the biggest upset in world cup history ? Odds on Saudis were like 25 to 1 or something

 

Ouch. That looked fucked.

 

Saudis keeper!!

 

The Saudis have done it!

 

Unbelievable! Well deserved.

 

Shockaroony

 

Hi.

 

The World is truly realigning.

 

Massive shock

 

Argentina vs Mexico is gonna be huge.

 

Perhaps Senegal beating France in 2002 is bigger.

 

No real interest in Denmark-Tunisia tbh. Denmark are a good side, Tunisia have talent but tend to be spoilers. The games after should be fun though.

 

Lmao Argentina. Hope they get bounced in the group stage.

 

Eriksen to score winning goal

 

You UK guys are very fortunate that you don't have to hear commentary from Alexi Lalas. This guy is fucking obnoxious and unbearable.

 

The bits ive been catching have been on hesgoals with American broadcasts. I always find the turns of phrase used in the commentary over there odd/jarring.....a bit like when your girlfriend is watching the game with you and keeps saying things that are just slightly wrong

 

Yes, yes, it's cringey.

 

Tunisia playing pretty good actually

 

Yeah that just took on a new importance 8n addition to what preceded.

Mexico will need to draw on the spirit of national heroes Ismael Laguna and Roberto Duran to get past the country of Eder Jofre!!

 

Nigel DeJong:-

"We need to respect the smaller nations"

Tunisia's population and landmass are approx twice that of continental Denmark.

They've been past winners of the ACON and regular contenders.

Denmark win Euro 1992, a tournament they didn't qualify for.

Their best player nearly died in the last tournament he played

Their goalkeeper has conceded about 30 league goals this season.

 

Last time Argentina were upset by such an unfancied side was in 1990 against Cameroon which was also the opening match. They still made the final that tournament. I guess they'll try to draw on that for inspiration.

 

I dont think a 0-0 draw between the 10th and 30th ranked sides is such a massive shock.

Its not boxing ffs.

 

Let's go!!
