Football 2022 FIFA World Cup

[Hermit]

Another 0-0 12 years later, I guess some things never change

England are very easy to play against. Reckon even Ecuador could beat them, terrible performance.

England 4 points
Iran 3 points
USA 2 points
Wales 1 point

All 4 teams can still qualify going into the last match day. Some group this

Interesting World Cup, almost every team can beat every team and also a lot of ties.

If Wales win against England, They would have the same points like England. idk how they things will go if England lost.

They have to win by a huge margin. Or count on Iran-USA ending a draw.

The delicious irony being that "Soccer" is a term invented by the British as a shortening of "Association Football" using Oxford slang

Gridiron Football overtook Association football in popularity in the early 20th century, so it lost it's original naming rights here.

Who watch American football anyways besides Americans.

Nice bait, but not sure what that has to do with etymology of words

It's just funny to see people bothered by the term, especially if they're Brits

 

[Raven]

Well you mentioned popularity so its related

 

[Hermit]

How many missed penalties is that this tournament? Feels like Ronaldo is the only one who scored his, interesting statistic.

Popularity in this country, yes

Costa Rica beat Japan to make their group and also this tournament overall more interesting.

Such a surreal World Cup. Belgum lost and now Croatia is also losing to Canada.

 

[Raven]

Spain vs Germany was literally the worst match. Both are playing bad as f.

At least Germany have little hope now.

Fun fact - Canada's Alphonso Davies is the first Bayern player to score at a World Cup since Gotze in 2014

 

[Josef]

Cameroon over the edge with Serbia hah. I love this tournament.

 

[Hermit]

Wow, Cameroon. That's a beautiful comeback.

Glad Senegal are through. Always nice when there's an African team or two in the knock outs

Awww.... well better or not they looked pretty poor today

I wonder if Berhalter will finally start Gio Reyna this WC. It only took losing Pulisic and Sargent to injury...

Which is a shame because we finally had some notable striker play today from Sargent. He seemed less injured than Pulisic. Apparently Pulisic went to the hospital with an abdominal injurty. Doesn't sound very good.

Tyler Adams continues to be the best player for us. Playing like a true captain.
