Hate It If We Played It - Qatar World Cup 2022

2nd half a bit low energy. 0-0 all over this.

I fear the Dutch will steal this late on - just a feeling (not really sure what I want here as an Englander but will be interesting to see how both do vs Ecuador).

there it is

And so they have

Just saw an ad for this:

And now a commercial for some phone with El Pibe Valderrama. How did they know?

Don't know about Pirlo running around the sands of Qatar though.

USA v Wales predictions?

Already seeing some "Wales? is that a country? how dare they be here instead of Ukraine!" on Twitter

during the meeting between the Belgian football federation and fifa about the rainbow armbands Belgium's colonial history in the Congo was dragged into the discussion by a Senegalese fifa boss. Why are we still there?

US anthem truly the worst. Fuck "To Anacreon in Heaven"

Wales's is beautiful otoh

FIFA standing up bravely against all forms of love now.

FIFA have demanded that the Belgium team remove the word "love" from the collar of their away shirt, sources have told ESPN.

God

Just do a heart icon ffs lads

Predicting a draw here

fuck this thing

euro homophobes are fucking loving this btw

Fuck It, Fucking Assholes

Pretty cagey so far?

Wales are rubbish, they're lucky to be there tbh.

this is kinda how the US plays in general, rely more on athleticism than technicality, though they've gotten better at that in recent years.

I'm sure some of them are afraid to give up a goal and break Elon's Twitter

I’m pretty sure I read that Pulisic was a Trump guy so I’m cheering on Wales, unfortunately they are shite

USA all the way for me. It's a travesty Wales qualified ahead of Ukraine.

fuck this thing

the USA chants are so fucking nauseating and Sorbz is on the bench so I'm cheering on Wales as well

Ooh well taken.

Yeah pretty good.

welp

yeeeeeeee hawwww

I hate how the VAR age of soccer has me eagerly waiting for the replay to see if the guy was onside before mentally counting the goal

That's George Weah's son btw..

When he was active, Weah was eligible to represent both the United States and Liberia.[1][11] He played in two friendlies for the United States under-20 side in 2004.[12][13] More than a decade later, he was called up by the Liberian senior side for a 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualification match against Togo in June 2015, despite not having played for a club in nearly a year.[1] He was named to the bench as Liberia lost 2–1.[14]

let's see if Twitter crashes

weah is also an anti-vax dipshit but we can talk about that tomorrow

Yeah but at least he hasn't got a stupid Gareth Bale hairstyle.

bullshit booking there

Sorry wrong son.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timothy_Weah

its not so much bread and circuses as the fact that these events are literally a form of counterinsurgency xps

Ok

Christ, I'd totally forgotten Weah played for Celtic for a while.

Rob Page had a spell at Hudds (and somehow looked even balder back then) and the US manager had a trial period with us in the Brian Horton days.

ahh george weah's goal back in the day in serie a where he dribbled from the edge of his own box was a thing of beauty.

want usa to win this. was a lovely goal.

definitely the type that 2010-2014 US was incapable of.

That's an interesting point as I'd just been assuming this US side were still getting back to that level tbh.

they're definitely greener than those squads, which brings some disadvantages, but the way they create is much better. not really sold on Berhalter as the coach though

need to put in Gio Reyna, and Yedlin for Dest due to the Yellow

slowest counter attack ever right there. had 4x4.

Kind of hoping there's a penalty in this match so we can hear John Hartson trying and failing to pronounce "penalty".

holy shit

last 15 minutes has been all Wales
