Hesi Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Biggest event in world sport, so even though late off the mark, any self respecting chat site should have a thread on it Feel free to post any comments, value bets etc etc I see already that Argentina beaten by the Saudis, and the great pretenders of world football Aus, firmly put in their place by France Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turny Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Yes the class difference between France and the A league team was a night and day difference. France or Brazil to win it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Globederby19 Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Argentina 1 Saudi 2. A really pissed off Mesi methinks. And although they lost was really impressed by Senegal the African Champions, great skill level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is probably the worst squad they have sent to the WC and the decline in the A-League must shoulder a lot of the blame. They will be lucky to scrape a point from their remaining two games. Good coach as Arnold is he can't do much with this lot and tactically he must shoulder some responsibility for today's weak performance. They should have learned the lesson the Saudis gave earlier. Take on the big guns full tilt, blitz them, fight tooth and nail for every ball. SA unsettled Argentina using these tactics, whereas the Socceroos looked too scared to try anything. The tournament looks pretty even but I still believe Belgium and Germany will test France and Brazil in the later stages 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Globederby19 Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Apparently Germany and Argentina have gone in for grief counselling. Jeepers what an upset, but Japan did show they are up for it and in with a good show now of progressing. A Spain blitz over Costa Rica who were comprehensively outplayed . From what I have seen so far France and Spain look good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloke Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Gee Canada were very impressive against Belgium except when they got anywhere near goal. Over 20 shots on goal, many poorly directed including a missed penalty. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have noticed the South American teams like taking out ankles, and generally playing dirty. Nothing new there. France do look the classy side. Belgium looked pretty average to be honest, and hard to gauge Spain as they romped in against pretty weak opposition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ngakonui grass Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Brazil looked good against Serbia but i gotta say i don't like their theartrics.They were falling down more than Russian soldiers in Ukraine,at least they had a reason.

Turny Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 (edited) Agree NG Brazil certainly lost their spark of the one touch slickness My pick to win it, but my bet looking more shakier than I thought it would be.

Bloke Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 I enjoyed the England v USA game and as a Leeds supporter I watched with interest the performance of Tyler Roberts. In my biased opinion he has been one of the stand outs of the World Cup to date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
