World Cup 2022 - discussion, predictions, and thoughts

Thank you. Had sort of Hawkman look, but in black instead of gold.

Pretty impressive that the captains of three of the last 16 teams play for Tottenham. Doesn’t look like Korea is moving on, though, and England and France play each other next round.

Can’t recall that I’ve actually had it. All my relatives up around there keep thinking I must want Kölsch… :roll_eyes:

That was a piece of art!

The German announcer cried out: “This is circus!”

If your relatives are in a Kölsch region, better do NOT ask for an Alt.

Mercy! Mercy!

By now this game reminds me of the first half of the German 7-1 in 2014, with the roles reversed.

I just turned it off… not even fun to watch.

Ouch. Korea is one of my main teams to root for. Painful.

That’s why we needed Uruguay here, they may have been losing with the same score by now, but they’d taken out a couple of Brazilians in exchange! (j/k)

Suarez probably would’ve bitten Neymar’s leg off by now.

Every time the mention “Stadium 974” I like to think that the number 974 wanted to raise its profile and bought the naming rights.

For too long the previous 973 numbers have been in the spotlight.

Didn’t watch the second half but at half-time I thought that South Korea might at least retrieve some self-respect if they didn’t concede any more goals and got one consolation goal of their own and that is exactly what they did!

Twitter Argentina is full of twits about how Brazil is already the champion, they will surely win all the remaning matches in a walk, etc etc.
Don’t be fooled, this is weaponized jinxing :rofl:

No one who knows sports is fooled. Lol

I wasn’t sure you knew about the ancient art of the mufa.

The dark arts are part of sports fandom everywhere. We just have different names for it.

Humans are human everywhere :slight_smile:

Completely disgusted, though not particularly surprised, that Fox Sports is studiously ignoring all of the various controversies and scandals around the World Cup and airing government-produced “Understanding Qatar” propaganda videos. Not to mention that their announcers are all painfully bad.
