2022 World Cup - Qatar

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

In hindsight ITV launching their new streaming platform for the World Cup wasn't the best idea,
Login system is broken so I can't have this on my laptop, gotta use a dodgy stream instead

I opted to use a dodgy stream anyway because **** Qatar.

[Bada-Bing!]

Two great chances for Wales

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

Time for the bald fraud to do his job

 

[BPM]

Martin Sheen better have his passionate speech ready for half time.

Michael or Martin?

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Michael or Martin?

My bad Michael.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Oh damn

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Penalty wales

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Draw is good.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Trying his best to delay his retirement to the golf course.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

You'd think he'd cured cancer the way they're talking about that penalty
"He's a phenomenon, there's no one like him"

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

Google Jordan Morris and ask yourself if he belongs at a World Cup yet alone playing in one. Absolute farce.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

9 mins stoppage time. Time for a winner.

A draw a fair result and good for England.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

You forget how bad the diving is in football when you only watch it every 2-4 years

That was hilarious from Bale

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Congrats America

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

I swear to god it's more important that make the mls feel good about itself than actually try to win games.

Google Jordan Morris and ask yourself if he belongs at a World Cup yet alone playing in one. Absolute farce.

Other than he has diabetes I can find nothing on him.

Jody Morris ex-Leeds different story.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Other than he has diabetes I can find nothing on him.

The first result in my search is a gaelic footballer, had a great breakout season for Meath in 2020 and has settled well in the squad.

Have to imagine Wales fans are happier of the two after that. Would back them to hold England to a 0-0 ahead of the states also off the back of pure emotion.

Belgium forced to change World Cup away kit last minute by FIFA for the most ridiculous reason

FIFA have stopped captains of World Cup teams wearing the 'One Love' armband and now the Belgium team aren't even allowed the word 'Love' on their kit

www.sportbible.com

belgian away kit banned too

 

[Cruz_del_Sur]

First the captain's armband thingie, now the belgium t-shirt thing. They are explicity making up the rules as they go. In front of all of us.

I'm rather furious about the armband thingie tbh. I think it's a silly, ridiculous, worthless gesture that borders closer on self praise and virtue signalling than anything else. BUT I WANT TEAMS TO HAVE THE RIGHT TO DO THAT, as much as i dislike it.

It's day two, no game of relative importance has even taken place yet, and we've got journos being asked to change their t shirts at the entrance of stadiums, ballless national captains calling home for diapers, and a bunch of people who literally bought the event and decided to make a mockery out of it. Just to show they could.
I expected a LOT from this wc (in terms of shitshow i mean). Not even in my wildest most ludicrous dreams i thought this was even remotely possible.

In my field sometimes to solve a problem you need to turn it upside down. Let's do that. Let me ask one very simple question: what would need to happen for coaches/players/FA presidents to say 'this is unaceptable, i'm going home, Tonight. We've already called the embassy and there is a plane waiting for us to leave'?

I sincerely dont know where the line is anymore. I am not exaggerating. Not one bit.
