2022 World Cup Discussion

This competition is only going to get interesting at the quarter final stages isn’t it? Those last 7 matches might be worth watching properly (discounting the 3rd place game).
So far there’s been one off upsets in the groups yes, but not really anything, Germany aside, that could be classed as a proper shock.

If we end up with:
Holland Argentina
England France
Croatia Brazil
Portugal Spain
for example as the four quarters then they should all be more competitive than these R16 games, where I can foresee zero upsets happening.

It's a shame that you were in an airport during the match. Most of the local bars here in Philadelphia were standing room only by 9:00am, many had breakfast specials and game after parties planned. I don't believe that an airport at 9am on a Saturday morning is a very precise sampling of the sporting public.

But would the same thing happen in a UK or French or German airport?

But take your point. Just landed at Philly now..... you coming to see Morrissey tonight with me lol?

If Pele dies, it could give them extra impetus and incentive. But I've yet to see a team I don't think England could beat. We've been solid in defence, and have some great creative players and goalscorers. For me, it all hinges on whether Southgate goes for the Wales formation of the USA formation in the remaining games. I suspect he will go for safety, which will be our undoing.

My favorites to win are France, with Brasil, Spain and England also in with a good chance. I don't think Van Gaal's Netherlands will progress much further. I think his defensive approach will let him down eventually against the more attacking teams, but I wouldn't be averse to them winning it, given the number of times they have lost the final.

It would need nice for Messi to finish his career with a World Cup to his name. Nice also for Alvarez, and Otamendi, who I've always admired as a no nonsense player who just gets on with the game. No fuss, no trouble on or off the field, no hassle to his clubs or managers or teammates. A good, honest pro.

Funny that you ask: sitting in my club house on Wednesday night two guys, both going to the show made a $100 bet on whether or not he would show up. I hope he does for your sake. If he doesn't, tonight is our club's Christmas party. You're welcome to come and join us for a marathon session that will probably continue well past the start of the England match tomorrow.

Ask for deegee, chances are I'll be behind the bar watching replays of City matches on one of the TV's.
