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

Not Many...Damn Sure Not 8...

Clearly Been OUTSHOT by Iran 2nd Half...




REED

 

US seeing this out fairly comfortably imo. It's not exactly the 'Charge of the Light Brigade' stuff. Nearly there.

MTF

 

Rush and Williams need to get real. Wales qualifying for the next World Cup (which is a possibility due to the expansion) means nothing if you just get walloped once you're there. There is nobody coming through, certainly nobody who looks to (even potentially) be on the level of Bale or Ramsay.

 

Fuuukkkk

 

Good refereeing, there. Fucking Iran cunts.

USA USA USA


LOL

 

I'm just not a fan of an expanded World Cup.

 

US through. Iran trying to cheat their way to a penna near the end. Rightly told to fuck off.

MTF

 

Oh hi, Jurgen.

Pointless. Loads of mismatches instead of the elite v the elite.

MTF

 

He was right then and would be right now.

MTF

 

So who is the USA playing next???

 

So ingerland scheduled to beat senegal next then lose to france after that. Sounds standard

 

They obviously have to be favourites on Saturday but I haven't been all that impressed by what I've seen from the Netherlands. A US win wouldn't be the huge shock it would have been in previous editions.

 

Holland. Good luck

MTF

 

Netherlands on Saturday.

 

Uuuuh, That's "MR. World Cup Tourist", Thank You...



REED

 

England-Senegal will be a dire affair I feel.

 

There is genuinely no reason in theory why Ingerland can't beat France. They have genuinely world class players among a lot of very good ones. And France aren't exactly fucking Brazil 1970. They are good, but hardly ATG.

But aye, expect France to progress comfortably enough.

MTF

 

Holland, i believe

 

If we beat the Dutch the ghost of Cruyff should piss on their whole side.

 

Ingerland are fine against second tier sides if they score first. Once the game opens up, they can counter at will. If they don't score, it decends into an incoherent mess. All depends on getting that first goal.

Against elite sides, they are coached into cowardice.

MTF

 

The Netherlands...Saturday...




REED

 

You're preaching to the choir, Ingerland are the biggest underachievers in the world. But that being the case, you know theyll make a baw of it....france AET. I'll bet on that

 

Agreed. Player for player, England can absolutely compete with France. It's just you know Southgate is going to completely balls it up.

 

Barring upsets, the logical choices are still Brazil or Spain to go all the way. But there's always upsets, so probably neither will win.

 

Could be. Get an early goal though and we'll win comfortably.

MTF

 

With a good coach, this group of players would already have a WC final and a Euro title under their belts. Cowardice from the coach is why they don't.

MTF

 

That's how I see it, too. 2-1, probably after Ingerland score first and then retreat to the edge of their own box for seventy minutes.
