daviebee Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Crazy they needed VAR for the red card. Hennessy fkin Schumachered the guy! Best team by a mile won which is a bit worrying since England destroyed them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iran had a whole different mindset in that match though. Negatively set out to play for a draw and they paid the price - not helped either by losing their keeper early on. They are a long way behind your big hitting nations yet still scored twice against England. The undoing of England here will be their defence.

scotlad Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Wales today reminded me a bit of us against Morocco in '98: a listless performance against a team we were expected to beat before having a man sent off and completely going to pieces in the end. At least the Welsh still have another game to make amends. In some respects it might be better for them if England win tonight - that way, by the time they play each other England will be through to the next round, they might not be as bothered about winning the game and might even rest a few players ahead of the second round.

They played better last night with out him IMO I agree. They played better once he went off, although to be fair, Serbia had had the legs run off them by that point. He is one of those players who thinks he is better than he really is. Does the manager have the baws to drop him though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has nothing to do with the twelve steps, maybe YOU should do you research before commenting. it's about a total fucking idiot who just can't keep his comments to himself.

They are a long way behind your big hitting nations yet still scored twice against England. The undoing of England here will be their defence. I was thinking that. They just didn't seem to be mentally at the races against England. But the ease with which they scored 2 goals against the run of play against super-confident England maybe showed a glimpse of what they were capable of. And today, they did it for 90 (+ whatever) minutes. Did you see the reaction of Querioz and his players at the final whistle? I have a feeling he played a part in turning things around for Iran. Iran vs USA should be a cracker. Incidentally, is there any permutation of results/goal difference or whatever (however unlikely), that could lead to both USA and Iran progressing out of the group?

SamP Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 I disagree re Neymar. He has been one of the best players in the world in last 10 years. Ronaldo is arrogant, Souness, Best, Baxter etc. Not really likeable people but always thought that the arrogance that they were better than others made them as part of their make up. You could argue that Dalglish, Messi etc didn't have that. But everyone is different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blowing in Air conditioning apparently. The dome stadiums, the empty seats. No booze, part time support. I haven't even mentioned the lies, cheating, corruption, pay backs, slave labor. Anyhow, sorry to barge in, I'll do yes all a favor and keep my opinions to myself and not ruin a decent thread on a rather uneventful World Cup.. BTW, well played Canada, you done yourselves proud, should have beaten the Belgians. Best of luck the rest of the way... sounds like parkheid 😜 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not know that feeling as I support Celtic FC, the Big club. They do teach you about empathy in the 12 step program, so I do feel your pain, albeit, just a wee bit. Winning year after year, decade after decade isn't for everyone..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
