@broughie knowing fuck all about the strategy or formations: at times it seemed the Aussies were making easy inroads. Not sure Argentina's defence is up to it against better attacking teams
So you know fuck all.
Let’s just leave it there.
Time to shut the Fern down then.
One way of looking at it.
However, you could also argue that the presence of humourless, miserable fluffybunnies with a superiority complex is basically Peak Fern.
Almost like Baron has rejoined us.

Happy to stick my hand up on the topics of soccer, expensive cars, and being a curmudgeon. You've got those covered nicely.

Oz should have taken them on sooner
Like the Saudis did -

What’s gotten into you today?
I thought the aussies were decent today. Def the 2nd best side, but they got into some pretty good spaces on the flanks. Where they sucked was their delivery into the box. From both corners and crossing in general play, it was abysmal. Over-hit almost every time, loopy and long. So wasteful
Argentina def created better scoring chances, but they’ll need to be more accurate than that against better teams
Clear gap in skill level and speed between the sides, and Messi obviously the standout as always
What a fucking run by that Aussie bloke though, helluva saving tackle to stop him becoming a national hero. Reckon the Aussie keeper might have shouted him a beer if he’d scored…

So, we (Nederland) have to play the dirty cheats (Argentina) in the QF!
When supporting the men in orange on Saturday, I'll take full inspiration from the 1978 World Cup Final and it's home reffing! Mrs SG already fears for the tv! Mind you, Argentina still had its dirty military junta at the time and all talk was that they owned the ref (who might have feared for his life if the Argies didn't win). And then the Argie timewasting & fake injuries! Grrrrrrrrrr
Yes, I still hold grudges (even though I can't remember the game). I'll watch that Final this week and will wear my orange jersey for the QF. I fully expect that game will mean the Dutch' exit from this year's tournament, so I won't need it for a SF or F. I don't think they're very good, this year.
Yet, I hope the team takes it's inspiration from other World Cup matches against the Argies, because that 1978 Final was the only time the Argies beat the Netherlands at a World Cup. A repeat of the 1998 QF would be sweet!

Find this disturbing. Said to Mrs Boo at full time "Be riots in Melbourne" never expecting it to happen ...
On the game, dare I suggest I know fuck all, but seemed to me one of those games where the inferior team did enough to worry the superior team that just couldn't ice it from one of their many, many chances.

Seems pretty fair on what I watched.
WC very different from leagues..much bigger chances of upsets. Really enjoyed this match and was screaming at the box on that Aussie blokes run. Shame it wasn’t to be.
RG should have been 5 up by then.

You are welcome to abuse me as much as you want (comparing me to Baron is a touch low though), but I'm simply highlighting what you have been at pains to point out all the way through this thread.
@NTA said in FIFA World Cup 2022:
It's sort of funny how all this stuff now comes out. I know SFA about the game but I wouldn't have expected us to beat either Euro nation and no idea about Tunisia. According to the maths we were going to finish bottom of our pool...

@NTA said in FIFA World Cup 2022:
Not a sport I have any claim of understanding, but Australia look like they just can't keep possession
If you are going to continue to say you don't know it, get it or whatever, then why continue to comment on it? Especially with such dross.
@NTA said in FIFA World Cup 2022:
straya good at the kickball.
@NTA said in FIFA World Cup 2022:
That's what they get for not being French or German or Dutch.
@NTA said in FIFA World Cup 2022:
Aw get up ya fucking sook
@NTA said in FIFA World Cup 2022:
@broughie brown card. Due to it being shit
@NTA said in FIFA World Cup 2022:
@broughie insult to pussies
If you are going to continually post shit, expect to get called on it every now and again.

Aussie making a good fist of this.
What???
Australia were shit compared to Arg. Proper shit.
Team of unfancied players requires moment of Messi brilliance and GK stuff up to lose to one of soccers superpowers. If that was NZ would have been happy. Sure they offered little going forward but they were a well coached well drilled side. We see what your crew offer up against Senegal.

I totally agree with you, but I was really disappointed with what I saw due to a lack of actually trying to score goals. I really expected Aussie to take more risks, which they failed to do until about the 70th minute.
No need for whataboutery. The pluses and minuses of England are very well known, although not sure how I feel about them being known as my crew ... !

France and England to progress today to meet in a tasty QF

Don’t think whataboutery and whataboutism mean the same thing…
