2022 World Cup - Qatar

[Leonormous Boozer]

All they'll hype over Messi, Ronaldo, Bale, Lewandowski, Neymar and Neuer all having their send offs in International football at this tournament and they've all been poor so far.

Not necessarily unexpected given their ages but such a shame if they can't turn it around.

Yeah, I only watch football in the big tournaments so don't know many players but every player who I've seen be hyped up pre-tournament has been poor,


Bit like Harry Kane - he might be incredible for his club, he must be for all the hype around him, but I've never seen him have a good game

 

[Bada-Bing!]

How was that not red?

Edit: Thank you - reversed yellow and now red.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

What was he thinking, never needed ti be there. Absolutely a red card.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Get him called up Pivac

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Gonna have 10+ mins of extra time here. I wonder when football will realise that clocks can be stopped.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Wales will probably take the draw now and hope England win v USA and field a weakened side on Tuesday.

Well they can't get video refereeing right despite multiple sports doing it for years....

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Heartbreak.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

And finished off. Wales out on their feet.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Ah Jesus - probably deserved but that's the first of the teams I wanted to do well all but out.

 

[Welsh Exile]

Oh well. Was nice while it lasted. Playing for a bit of pride against England, though.

That'll be your World Cup "final".

I don't/won't feel too sorry for them especially Neuer who has won it. Lots of greats have not won or been to a WC - Di Steffeno, Best, Cruyff. So much is about timing, form and having the right team mates around them.

I hope you haven't given Sexton the kiss of death ahead of next year's RWC.
