2022 World Cup Discussion

The World Cup draws to a close.

I thought that Brazil would lift the trophy - kudos to an extremely strong Moroccan side for knocking them out.

Now it's down to two of the pre-tourney favorites: Argentina and France.

I detest Mbappe, and it would be nice for Messi to lift the cup, so I'll be routing for Argentina.

Biggest surprises of the the tournament for me:
1) Morocco - they've looked fantastic throughout
2) US live commentary - far better than I expected it would be, but not without some serious faults
3) Venue quality - I thought that Qatar would be a complete disaster. Yet, pitches have been immaculate, on field temperature hasn't been a factor, and stadiums have been fully of enthusiastic, noisy fans. That said, one shouldn't overlook deplorable human rights violations ongoing in Qatar, nor the obvious corruption surrounding Qatari and the award of the World Cup.

Think this has been the best World Cup to view. Take the negativity out and what City are usually thrown with the Qataris have been but have pulled it off.
 
No footy today here in Qatar, so thought I'd do the fan festival. Paul Van Dyk blasting the tunes, I only came for some post 7pm Budweiser, Nearly 10pm here and it was free in with your hayaa card. This lot can organise shit even if it's not everyone's cup of tea.

Was the beer free as well?

Mind, I'd want paying to drink Budweiser!

The only downside to that is that the rags will also have a World Cup winner, and we’ll never hear the end of it.

For years, Sky Sports referred to him as Paul "he won the World Cup" Pogba.

Yeah, I’d forgotten about Vanarama.

And just like Carlton for the last four years, the media won’t stop going on about it, whereas if Argentina win, Julián Álvarez, World Cup winner, will hardly ever be mentioned.
