FIFA World Cup 2022

Good for Morata! He gets criticized so much, sometimes unfairly, but he doesn't let it stop him from always going out there and trying his best.

[DavidMarrio]

Morata is the most confusing striker in existence. 

Seems to always bag goals in international tournaments yet isn't as prolific for club. 

[Szumi]

It's neat/weird to see Nico Williams on the pitch for Spain. His brother Inaki switched to Ghana to go play at the World Cup because he wasn't getting called up for Spain, and Inaki is still better than Nico (for now). I always love it when brothers play for different countries at international tournaments.

[Colly]

I thought he was Welsh!

If Spain win this match, they could easily field a second-string side for the next match. There would have to be a big goal swing for them not to finish top of the group.

[Baddar]

Absolutely twatted that one in.

[Szumi]

Love me a journeyman big MFer of a ST getting called up because he's in form. He's not the most talented or flashiest of German STs, but he's the one in form. Great choice by Flick to call him up and trust him. What a thumper.

[Colly]

Fullkrug is an outstanding German centre forward name.

[Gorka]

Eeeesh Spain bring on a 19 year old, he gets one touch of the ball and Spain concede down his side in the space of a minute. 

[Twist]

Kind of baffling we’re going into the third round of games and Spain and Germany could feasibly both be eliminated, however unlikely.

Said big MFer was playing in the 2nd Bundesliga last year, Helps drag Bremen kicking and screaming back to the top flight, Gets the call-up and then goes and does that. 😍

read out the german team to my fluent german speaker girlfriend last week and she took great amusement in the fact his name literally translates to fill jug.

His nickname translate to Gap because he has a gap in his teeth. Which seems very straight forward for the German language.

[Colly]

Everything about him is wonderful (hides in case of possible dodginess...).

Today is the last day of kickoffs before 3pm GMT.

[Chris2K]

This has certainly not been one of the drab first halves we've become used to.

[Baddar]

That was a brilliant team goal.

[Chris2K]

Words cannot express how annoyed I am that this game is on today when I can't watch, and I had to sit through Japan/Costa Rica instead yesterday morning.

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

Great game to be fair. Shame it probably sinks both teams.

[Baddar]

Korea started brightly but Ghana have two goals in 10mins or so to lead 2-0.
