Seems genuinely mystified because a couple of big teams have gone out, even though the other eight or nine have basically coasted through. Just so so bad.

Bunkerossian Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 (edited) Japan are showing why I love fotball. Not enough technique or strength to rule games, but their guts... I've watched all 3 of their games, like I've done before on WC-s. Feeling of a Japanese assault on a big team is...mind-blowing. I won't be mad if they knock my homeland out. Moriyasu is a living legend, no matter what happens now. With a dead tired Modrić and Perišić, I could see a third giant crashing down.

Big Geordie Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Japan were superb 2nd half - grit and determination mixed in with a quality pressing game and genuine pace. Well worth their win. With regards to their winner - from ITV's initial pics it looked out, but from the pic I saw earlier in this thread - ball is still in play. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, but no final for you this tournament. Only Inter players left are from Argentina, Netherlands and Croatia. Three out of 4 favorites to reach quarter-finals on our side of the draw. Meaning you won't make it past semi-final, because there's always an Inter player in the final. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Adam Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Didn’t watch the punditry but these comments on souness reaction, as well as a load of people on Twitter saying it’s “clearly out” and then showing an image that, if you know the rules, shows it as in, is staggering. It’s one of the reasons goal line tech will eventually cause huge controversy. The amount of people who can’t comprehend the rule about any part of the ball being above any part of the line, whether it’s touching the grass or not, is crazy. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't watch them against Qatar, but Netherland were completely outplayed by Ecuador and fairly fortunate against Senegal. I'm not convinced they'll get past the USA, nevermind Argentina. Argentina haven't been great or anything but were comfortably deserved winners against Mexico and even more so Poland, and conceded to Saudi Arabia's only shots on target in the entire game while being unlucky not to be 4 or 5 up at half time.

Spain stopped trying to win, to knock out Germany and get a better draw on purpose. I was looking forward to watching this Spanish side go deep in the tournament, but now will be delighted if either Morocco knock them out, or if we do it in the quarters.

I think Argetina have controlled their last two games, it's obvious somebody told them the standards in the 2nd half of the Saudi Arabia game weren't good enough. They had enough chances to put Saudi Arabia away in the first half, plus all the offside decisions and then they did what the US did in their game V Wales, completely disappeared for the 2nd half I'd be more worried about the Netherlands than Argentina, not been impressed with the Netherlands at all in any of the games Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
