Hate It If We Played It - Qatar World Cup 2022

another way they will be like the US, in that the US bottled several wide-open opportunities against Belgium in 2014 (unlike Canada, though, Belgiium were battering them with shots, hence Howard's save record).

Belgium look shit

That was awful from David

hey everyone, did you know if Canada scores, it's their first ever World Cup goal?

think it bears repeating another 20 or 30 times

Thanks for the news I can use!

Canada need to get that lad off their set pieces

Real lack of any quality in Group F

predicting 2 goals in the 23 minutes of stoppage

ffs are Canada scared of scoring or something?

out of the players I hadn't seen play before in this world cup the Canada #7 has been the standout( with the exception of set play delivery). He's been a delight.

Belgian passing is woeful.

They'll get away with it because Canadian finishing is dogshit

also from earlier today hansi flick has absolutely no business playing sule at rb, goretzka should be in mf, and ter stegen should be in goal.

and Larin is in and he's a poacher of sorts but his hold-up play sucks and he has lazy spells

xpost

lol @ Trossard

21 shots, 3 on frame....should tell you the quality of the shots right there

The two upsets we've had never looked like one till they happened. Guess what I saw 10 mins in was too good to be true.

also for once graeme souness wasn't exaggerating when he said that he could have come down from the studio and played the busquets role for Spain today such was the lack of energy and closing from costa rica

why are Canada fans cheerng this corner, hve they seen their past corners?

lol case in point

only 5 minutes!

most of Canada's shots have been unlikely from an xg pov. 4 real chances - pen, David when he should have played the square pass, David header ,and the low cross chance just before half time.

letting Belgium have maximum possession with little attempt to pressure them seems like a good strategy with 2 minutes left

Can’t imagine Croatia will let Canada play like that, shame they couldn’t get anything tonight.

jesus can life throw anything worse at nadia nadim? so sorry for her.

Qatari authorities have started banning England fans from wearing crusader costumes in stadiums.

The attire, complete with swords and crosses, are offensive due to crusader history of rape, slaughter and occupation of Arab lands.#Qatar #Eng #FIFAWorldCup pic.twitter.com/BoL6dnZEjz

good

i demand swiss glasses guy to be in the crowd and found by the cameras

“He’s really done the rounds of European football, Paris St Getmain, Bayern Munich, Stoke City”

I recently saw a rugby fan getting interviewed in the crusader gear and remember thinking it was such a vile phenomenon. I know it's to do with St. George but it's not unlike a German fan dressing up in a Nazi uniform.

These cunts know what they are doing.

Cameroon should really be one up.

Excellent game so far.

barton/oatley wondering when they will see a goal, they've had the 0-0s so far, has been decent tho

xp I don't think many of the crusaders cosplayers would be able to grasp why this is different from Danes dressing up as Vikings or whatever, which is a big part of the problem

i think that was him!!!

I think this about the crusader every time I see it on the front of the Express tbh

I'd forgotten Shaqiri even exists

Had a feeling the Swiss would score. Cameroon squandered a couple of chances in the 1st half.

god help me I kinda love this year's edition of xhaka. some of his simple passes to break the lines are lovely

The guy who was born in Cameroon scores against Cameroon.

Colonialism is wicked.

St George of course famous for wearing Norman 11th century armour

really hope cavani comes on and scores. beeb open the show with black pink.

oh danny murphy on co comms dampening my enthusiasm a tad.

Uruguay have been excellent.

Couple of juicy passes from Jimenez.

Were Vikings historically good?

Mixed reports over time but some of them surely killed a lot of people and pillaged many territories. Unsure whether they actually colonised places or were more restless than that.

Probably reasonable to say that a Viking costume could potentially be offensive, if such things offend you.

Orlando City star Facundo Torres on the bench for Uruguay. Be nice if he plays.
