FIFA World Cup 2022

[Baddar]

First 25mins have been predictably shite.

When was the last time the finals were exactly the same back to back? Has it happened before?

[Chris2K]

Obvious penalty. Perhaps lucky to only get a yellow.

Argentina and West Germany in 1986 and 1990. That's the only time it's happened.

[Baddar]

Might still be the case if Messi slots this.

Pick that out.

He went for the ball enough that a yellow was the right call I feel.

[Chris2K]

Good grief, that ball could have gone anywhere at any point and yet somehow it's now in the net.

[Baddar]

That was a very direct run.

Julian Alvarez having himself a game

[The Buscher]

Well this one's over.

[Baddar]

Holy shit what a save.

[Bobfoc]

Argentina threw away a 2-0 lead in their last match, so you never know. I don't think they'll lose this, though.

[Baddar]

Croatia need HT badly. Don't think they're completely out of it just yet.

I feel Croatia lack the dynamism needed to turn it around in that manner, but you do never know.

[Adam]

Scary to think that Julian Alvarez is the second striker to Erling Haaland at his club.  

[Szumi]

Croatia look like the extra 60+ minutes of football they've played are having a significant effect on them (well, 30+ extra than Argentina). They just look so slow to everything today and like they're running in quicksand.

Croatia going to have to go full LVG two target men up top and hoof it to the big men to get back in his one 

[Baddar]

OMFG MESSSIIII

[Chris2K]

Lionel Messi is a very good footballer.

[Bobfoc]

Farming communities the world over will be celebrating tonight.

[Colly]

 

[Szumi]

Messi is going to haunt Gvardiol's dreams for months after that crime against him
