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

Yeah, I've heard they're dirty cunts.

 

They are the international version of Atleti. Snide, cheating, whining cunts. A poetic justice to watch Ghana, with nowt to play for, slogging their guts out to eliminate them as a reminder of their snide, cheating ways.

Good riddance.

MTF

 

Exactly. If it was a side that's nearly always deficient in the talent dept but qualifies mainly/only because of such tactics i wouldn't respect it, but i could at least understand it.

Interesting comparison by feebs with Atletico. I'm not sure how much Simeone is responsible for it but it's the Atletico i've come to know. Like most people i "cheer" for underdogs at times and obviously Atleti is one compared with Real and Barca. When i see those cry-bullies in action however? I hope they fail.

 

Pretty uninteresting end to the day. Possibly even more anti-climactic than Group D.

Which of the no-hopers will finish second in the group behind Brazil? Tune in!

 

Brazil sucks

 

Nothing Dark about today ....played Ghana oot of it.

 

Yeah I was thrilled to see Suarez go out.

 

Yanks might have an okay chance at an upset today, ONLY because the Dutch are battling the flu.

This would be the absolute furthest we may go - past the 16.

No way the US can cope with Argentina in the quarters.

 

Are you watching it by yourself or do you know any Americans who actually care?

 

I'm watching it with a few members of my fam.

There's gonna be a lot of Americans tuned in this morning. It's at 10am Eastern Time on Fox, meaning it's not competing with the NFL on a Sunday. I expect the viewing ratings to be high.

Of course, if Dutch win, like 70% of Americans will stop watching.

 

How many minutes into the game most Americans will say this shit is boring.,..

 

Probably not long, but I don't fuckin pay attention.

They've been whining that boxing is boring since I started following the sport; hasn't affected me.

 

I can picture them turning off the TV and muttering something about communism.

 

I’ve already seen them call it a “global WOKE sport.”

No lie…

 

Is it me or do some of the US players not know the Star Spangled Banner?

 

This should be good

 

Wow close

 

BIG chance missed.

 

I initially thought he was well offside but was clearly on

 

He should have scored

 

Dutch look like shit.

 

I hope US wins

 

I feel this may be a game where the USA are the better team overall but their lack of quality in front goal costs them. Netherlands may get one chance and take it and that will be the difference.

 

Great i missed the goal

 

Nevermind

Yeah, I think our run ends today.

 

Oh damn, nice finish after some slick passing

 

The Dutch look dangerous on the counter

 

Robinson's pace can trouble the Netherlands more and more but needs to make the right calls too. He had a chance not long ago to shoot but instead went for the pass.

 

USA looks discouraged, facial expression wise.

 

Memphis is tearing through these bums.
