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

Another Morocco goal to prove it's not a fluke. LMAO at Belgium. Martinez will be gone after the cup.

 

He should be gone now.

Germany to beat Spain, for me, to round off a day of "surprises", with an actual fucking surprise

 

Belgium piss poor. Morocco fully deserved the win. Time for me to order a pizza and enjoy the next game. Amir Khan Canada vs Croatia.

 

Martinez may indeed be shit but nobody was going to get much out of this current squad. The general thought on Belgium is that their window had closed even before this WC. I think that's 100% accurate.

Hazard is shot and 3/4 of the rest of the starters are on the wrong side of 30. De Bruyne is top tier but his team mates aren't on the same level as his Man City counterparts. Four year ago Belgium knocked out Brazil, defeated England twice and made France play negative football.

That side would have trounced this group.

 

Canada to dominate then walk into one

 

Canada win or draw, Germany win,3.5/1

 

LMAO Croatia. Wake up.

 

Glad the goal scoring drought is over. Doesn't matter what happens next, happy that's done with.

 

Wow, what a goal and start for Canada! Quality header. He can't score from the spot but he can certainly score with his head.

 

Canada do have some tidy players who are confident with the ball.

 

Canada saved by an offside call. Shouldn't have been able to get the ball in the back of the net with three defenders on him though.

 

Brilliant finishing

 

Croatia in the mood now

 

Croatia are so good with the ball. As soon as they got a foothold in the game and Canada tired they have been in total control.

 

Footballers against athletes. Croatia always look good against sides with limited technical ability like this.

MTF

 

I think they realized Canada doesn't have much to offer going forward. Once they get the ball they are attacking in numbers as they don't have to worry about leaving gaps.

 

Granny, I got the job.

 

Should be 3-1.

 

Be afraid...be very afraid...Junior Hoilett is coming on...said no one ever.

 

Will always love the guy for that assist for Bobby Z

 

Greatest moment in his career.

 

Great goal kranmeric

 

Another good finish.

 

Theres an obvious dynamic here, the underdogs must run and harry the favourites to such an extent as the favourites cant get their football game going.

If that doesn't happen, then tge plodders will, by the by, get motoring and do damage.

 

Should be 4. Once the momentum shifts, the runners have a severely diminished chance to respond.

Canada need something sharpish.

 

Flag finally goes up.....

 

Whats that ad?

 

..... And has been the case in almost every game of its sort this tournament.

 

Croatia have seen a lot of teams like Canada. Canada have not seen many teams like Croatia.

Should be 5 or 6.

 

Spanish anthem has no lyrics, just for anyone who is panicked.

Germans singing their anthem this time
