FIFA World Cup 2022

Normally support the Durch as my second team, but only when they don't butcher their normally 'best kit in the world' by either going all orange or fluorescent. So, often last 20 years, they have lost the coveted support of me at the big tournaments.

This year, they're all orange, so I hope they fuck off.

Fashion tip Dutchies (and Nike). Orange only looks good if it is balanced by white or black (shorts).

Come on Argies!

Onky lasted until half time of Croatia v Brazil until I exited the chromecast, to see if I could jump to the good parts. That was shit.

Fortunately, I could no longer get the stream. That ws an match made for a mini 'highlights'package on youtube ....

Brazil only have themselves to blame

Like Spain

It looks pretty but sometimes you need to be direct and physical

Sat on their lead

Got punished

Actually I thought they didn't sit on their lead enough - 4 minutes left and holding midfielder Fred is battling for the ball by the attacking corner flag. It gets cleared and suddenly it is 4 on 4 as all the Brazilian show ponies are too lazy to cover for Fred. Very lucky goal as the shot was limp but they allowed him the shot on goal. Croatia deserved to go out for playing for penalties from half-time but then Brazil deserved to go out for not defending that lead after Croatia had not looked remotely close to scoring all game.

I was really surprised that Tite didn't bring on Martinelli instead of Rodrygo. Brazil needed someone to take on the Croatian defenders like Antony was doing on the other flank.

Man that was magnificent from Messi. Such a good pass.

[Stargazer]

[Stargazer]

Bs penalty.

[Mackerzzzz]

That should not be a penalty

Yeah poor defending. No need to give that away…

[Stargazer]

@Billy-Tell No, the penalty should not have been given. Poor officiating.

[Stargazer]

Yessssssss, beautiful goal!

[duke]

Netherlands hit back, should be 1-1 now. That penalty should never have been given.

[Billy Tell]

What a free kick!

[Stargazer]

Yessssssssssssssssssssss, another one! 2 all!

[Toddy]

What a finish. Another shoot out

Not what the experts are saying. I don’t mean me!

[Stargazer]

@Toddy Extra time first?

[Toddy]

@Stargazer Yeah, I don't really know what's going on. I watch football once every four years.

[Bovidae]

Plenty of twists and turns in today's game.

Only Messi doesn't get a yellow card for a deliberate handball.

[Stargazer]

@Bovidae In true Argie fashion.
