Hate It If We Played It - Qatar World Cup 2022

best way to show Bolsonaro support is get real sick and take off your pants and get hauled off in an ambo

have no idea what richarlison is like off the pitch and don't care, I dislike him for on pitch reasons.

Brazilian footballers fouling players and having dumb antics is a tradition that goes way back -- the shot of Roberto Carlos brought back memories of that, too. Fuckin' hate that PED-chugging dipshit

By the way, Neymar's "assist" consisted of running into the box and losing control of the ball - fortuitously it fell to another Brazilian player, the one who actually assisted the goalscorer.

Nice that Brazil’s first goal of the tournament is by one of their only left wing players 🙏

Hurrah!

They were pretty unplayable in the 2nd half and are easily one of the better favourites I've seen. Only France and Spain were faster off the blocks.

completely disagree. they were okay.

Tom D: I agree that Jenas has a dull and bad voice, but I don't think Keown is like him at all. Keown is the most inadvertently comic pundit on BBC or ITV - one of the few who I find worth attending to, for that reason.

Richarlison's second goal was superb, reminiscent of Manuel Negrete, who started out with the goal of the tournament but ended up superseded.

Holland and Uruguay played organised opposition so harder to judge.

Don't give a fuck about England

No confidence that Spain or England will take their early form into games against decent teams. My money’s on France grinding it out, everyone went off them when Benzema got injured but Giroud is exactly the right striker for Mbappe.

Brazil looked pretty menacing to me too. Need to see them against a team with a central midfield.

France, Spain and Brazil the most impressive after this round of games

Ok to be fair England too but what are the odds they can give two performances in a row like that?

Bloody USA next.

My call of there not being many red cards this tournament is looking good. None at all

I mean, when stakes raise, who knows

Parabéns Brasil. Rumo ao hexa! 🇧🇷

Come in Iran!

*on

All Iran so far

Est chance to Wales tho'

I'm still holding onto the hope that Sorbz get's more than 8 minutes game time, give the lad a chance to shine ffs!

Just discovered that my upstairs neighbour is Iranian

Also, discovered that my upstairs neighbour doesn't understand the new VAR normal

There are angry thumps

Boo!

are we down to measuring offsides in microns again

That one was pretty clear tbf, but I agree, a shame

fair enough, didn't see the replay.

Iran better but not a lot in it.

lol ffs

not at that, at the match

By Allah!!

Upstairs is Well Noisy

that's why hennessy is keeping ward out of the side

this commentator is doing my fuckin nut

is it the same one who did brazil-serbia last night 'balkan in the wars' etc

Iran are so much better

I thought the Sutton and wotshisname commentary duo were, comparatively speaking, pretty good last night

apparently last night was guy mowbray, a known menace, but this is steve bower, a new one

actually not new at all, him and mowbray blend into one crapfest

Guy Mowbray and Lawro are so fucking bad that I turned over to ITV

only to discover Craig Burley

I thought it was Alistair Bruce-Ball last night?

Guy Mowbray and Martin Keown are the BBC commentators on microphone duties for Brazil v Serbia at World Cup 2022.

wait tho, I'm confused now

I meant they weren't on the match commentary duties, at least they weren't on the broadcast I watched!

Yes, it was Mowbray last night in the Brazil game.

I know something will happen in 20-30 seconds in the game because my upstairs neighbour is watching it on TV rather than the stream and that's how far ahead he is
