Hate It If We Played It - Qatar World Cup 2022

ahahahahahahaha

ooh there is some light

hoping for ten mins of stoppage, and an equalizer

Well

I wanted goals I got goals

lol @ Costa

would have been one of the greatest World Cup moments ever if that had come off

Fucking hell

putting all hopes in Serbia now

serbia's players probably big fans of vucic tbh

rock n a hard place

Can't stand Mark Pougatch.

cosign

Brazil setting up with Paqueta alongside Casemiro in midfield rather than playing it safe with one of Fred / Fabinho / Bruno is the sort of fun i'm looking for.

Lineker, like many others over the year: "It's not the World Cup till Brazil turn up".

BBC radio today: "Brazil are synonymous with the World Cup" - etc.

Nice idea, maybe, but they haven't won it for 20 years, including when they were at home and knocked out 7-1.

Then again ... LULA has just been re-elected in Brazil. Maybe this is a good reason to be positive about that country.

they had Tim Vickery on for a bit, someone who actually knows a thing or two about S American football

Listening to that sort of shite my entire life is what led to me eventually supporting anyone who played Brazil - well, almost anyone.

'balkan in the wars' fuckin red card this commentator my god

I'm not a fan of Sutton but tbf at least he despises Neymar

Can we take a deep dive into the state of Serbian politics?

Just saying..

Sometimes nobody deserves to win!

If we have a 'what effect would a WC win have on the politics of the country' I'd rather Brazil won under Lula than Eng under the Tories.

You and me both. Never mind the politics either.

Brazil can win as long as they leave Neymar on the big Jesus in Rio

Is Jermaine Jenas the most boring man alive?

Murphy nearly got me on the cyanide earlier..

this half has flew by

Where is angry Jesuit Roy Keane

What ye need is a bit of Dunphy

Like 99% of the reason I’d enjoy watching the absolute dogshit that is Ireland internationals is for the lads at each other’s throats in the break and after

I'd like to see Micah Richards just put everyone else in a headlock for 5 minutes each while cackling.

I've got a paperback edition of Only A Game on the shelf, never got round to finishing it because I'm half blind and can only read on kindles these days!

Why has Jenas been mentioned? KEOWN is covering this match.

I think Lula is only President-Elect and not yet in office: he returns on 1st January 2023.

Mowbray started saying that if Yugoslavia hadn't broken up they would have been a good team. Perhaps. Wasn't sure this was in good taste.

I'm a huge fan of Tim Vickery.

Meanwhile quite impressed by SER organization. Brazil haven't really had a shot on goal in the first half.

Yes, I just realized it's Keown. My point stands though.

Tim Vickery once did an astonishingly ill-judged impersonation of Ken Early on the Second Captains pod which was met by the usually genial hosts with stunned silence. just the most horrendously offensive 19th century Pat-and-Mike caricature bullshit, i could hardly believe my ears. still enjoy his insight but never really felt the same way about him since.

A Brazil victory would be of no use to Bolsanaro, politically.

If the Austro-Hungarian Empire hadn't broken up they'd probably be a pretty nifty team too, how far can you take that line of thinking?

There it is!

User Sharivari absolutely incandescent with rage that he missed that goal

Goal Brazil ! - fitting that they score for the first time when a teammate just takes the ball away from Neymar

Fuck yeah

there's your goal of the tournament

Astonishing stuff from Richarlison

Outrageously good!!

Brazil are quite good

Brazil is playing better this half. Serbia roughhousing Neymar only worked for a little while

Well he's off the field so it did work.

Still at least they kicked Neymar's ankles a bit, so efforts didn't go to waste.

p certain we'll see better goals than that, good as it was
