Because we are English? And in the World Cup we are only really looking around for who we have to eventually beat to win it? Nevermind….

JohnD Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Really? I'm enjoying the majority of the matches I watch irrespective of who is playing. Tonight's excitement was epic. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattyblue Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 You can do both, no? Obviously rovernout sees absolutely everything from an England perspective, but most other folk can surely enjoy watching a game on its own merits, whilst in the back of their mind every now and then think ‘hmm wonder how England would do against this French side’. Bit like in club football, I can watch other top 6 Championship games, but still think ‘we’ll beat this lot’. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way this world cup is going, I wouldn't say anyone was a sure bet to get through the knockout stages now, including those you have mentioned. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, it's so unpredictable. For example, England could lose to Senegal just as easily as they could beat France. I do think though, that when it comes to the crunch, the elite players usually step up. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roverandout Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Off topic why Is the championship being resumed in the middle of the world cup? Seems a bit ridiculous 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hasta Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 (edited) Regarding Japan's goal, looking at all the angles on the BBC website I don't think all of the ball is over the line. However it's not absolutely conclusive, and as the linesman ruled it out in real time, I'm not sure how it can be overturned as a clear and obvious error based on the angles seen.

Absolutely. Brazil won’t have a sure run to the final either on the ‘easier’ side - they’ll likely have to play Argentina in the semis and they haven’t beaten them in the last three attempts. That’s if the Aussies et al. don’t have something to say about it too. All to play for! Edited December 2, 2022 by Gavlar Somerset Rover!

chaddyrovers Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 (edited) Well done to Japan last night who was excellent last night. Spain looked awful last night and if England do play them, we should not fear them at all. Edited December 2, 2022 by chaddyrovers 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaddyrovers Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Germany, Belgium haven't performed aswell as I thought they should do but each country has to rebuild their squad now with new players. Martinez has walked away from the Belgium job now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really is awful when a player tries to be clever as he strolls and stutters up to the ball. It just makes it easier for the keeper. And it looks like the shocker is going to cost Ghana now. As you say just belt the bloody thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arbitro Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 VAR found wanting again as a Uruguayan deliberately stamps on a Ghanaian. For some reason VAR is reluctant to get involved for violent following or serious foul play. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They chased after the ref after he went to look at var. They scuffed up the pitch where he was taking the penalty. The keeper wasn't on his line when he saved it. They're vile. Hope Ghana turn this around and bang them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was that Uruguay or was that Argentina also 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
