FIFA World Cup 2022

On the penalty and the question "where could the keeper go to?", well if he comes out and doesn't get to the ball, then he's in trouble whether is dinked over or dribbled around. And it doesn't matter that Alvarez would not have got to the ball - same as for England's 2nd penalty. VAR won't overturn as it wasn't an obvious error.
The 3rd goal was nicely executed although Gvardiol didn't cover himself in glory. I'd like France to get through to play Argentina as that is the best chance for an exciting final.

well I picked France from the outset and have not being let down yet, it gets harder from here of course, but as a long time Messi fan who has had a few Camp Nou visits over the years... I could accept an Argentina win

back to back isnt easy..plus you never see a random team winning this either..so unless Morocco does the unthinkable I doubt it will happen either

@Bovidae i can't see them beating France without a Messi masterclass. France are big and fast and skillful.

I'm still waiting for a team to get at the Argentinean defenders, but they seem to be doing enough so far.

@mariner4life A little concerned about their midfield though. Pretty much dominated by England but size and speed are good attributes and the ability to finish.

But England are actually good. I’d say this England team would beat Croatia, Morocco, Portugal, Spain, Netherlands.

@ACT-Crusader or they can just be England and not live up to expectations. I think the US midfield was better than England. But agree they dominated the French mid.

But can they do the business when it counts? Their problems are the same as my club team's problems, they don't seem to be able to identify and nurture a ball playing CAM, someone like Luka Modric who knits everything together and creates chances for the rest of the team. Kane drops back and does it about as well as any of them, only trouble is he is generally the best finisher as well

Is he from Georgia?
