Hate It If We Played It - Qatar World Cup 2022

shaw was literally england's best player in that game

Say no more.

wasn't like Shaw was actually playing well, he just didn't run around in a panic like the rest of them. he's still Luke Shaw.

Some intern just turned Lalas' mic off for a bit and that feels like a win to me

But at least he got to listen to some good Velvets boots!#oneetc

ITV just said Kane in that post match seemed happy with the point. Roy Keane glowering in the background like some Krakatoa of unpalatable truths. Never wanted a smash cut to him so much.

Dogshit match

Easily one of the worst in the WC

luke shaw is really good for england. inability/unwillingness to get foden effectively into the starting eleven is a massive failure of management. if you're good enough to be a vital part of pep's man city starting eleven gonna suggest that you're probably good enough for england. otoh i'm a grealish sceptic and always have been.

itv crew slurping england team spirit pre match with exception of Keane " let's see if they are as happy in a couple of weeks"

loved usa central 3 midfielders.

also even though he will inevitably give away a pen/goal at some point this wc I am starting to think maguire is worth his spot solely to defend corners

Almost want Wales 0 England 0 now while Iran US also draw so England top the group in deplorable heel fashion.

USA midfield 3 are the best thing about the team, wish that Reyna got in earlier

US wins against Iran they advance.

But not a given.

England could still crash out too. Wales is kinda rubbish though

Luke Shaw is better than he looks

Yea Reyna at 70 would have better

It's bullshit they changed the head to head rule - Wales could beat England but not go through at their expense.

England aren't playing badly. This game is simply the result of global factors, not least the effects of the pandemic and Putin's illegal war in Ukraine.

Wtf did he say? I have replayed five times and still can't get past the accent.

i declare this thread officially Started

Sorry, I don’t read American posts itt

something about playing darts, not sure why everyone’s on the floor about it, he’s right though, all this stuff about 10pm start times, they’re used to it man, they go all over the world

I heard him say “threw up in Dax last night.”

Figured Dax was some kind of chip or kebab shop or perhaps a Tesco’s type store.

Absolutely disgraceful scenes here at the Al Bayt stadium. #ENG supporters are throwing paper aeroplanes at the #USA end while repeatedly chanting "9/11". #FIFAWorldCup #Qatar2022

With enough alcohol, anything is possible

he's making disablist posts because england are shit? that checks out

charming

Someday you will find him
Caught beneath the landslide
And hopefully he'll suffocate
And die

LOL

Hopefully he'll be sharing a champagne supernova with Morrissey at the time.

Disappointed with ENG after they had looked good in first match. They didn't seem to get going or have any inspiration.

Maguire is unpopular but played well and looks to have totally justified his place.

Kane drops too deep I think. But why doesn't England really have any other strikers? Rashford is fine but always seems to play as a winger of some kind.

I imagine that if I were supporting USA I'd watch and be impressed and enthused and just regret that they were still only on 2 points and currently 3rd in the group. Though I also expect them to beat IRN.

Foden is talented and plays in a top club team, but by not coming on tonight he has been elevated to the status of greatest ENG player. Soccer fans should avoid the very basic error of elevating whoever's not on the pitch to a sure thing and matchwinner. If Foden had come on he might have been as average as everyone else.

I tend to hope that IRN beat USA and go through, though I quite like USA.

my whole football watching began with the US national team as I'd previously been ambivalent to the sport, which expanded into me supporting my local team and watching Premier League/Euros/Champions League, etc. so I have a soft spot - but as I said upthread, since I started watching, I've never managed to catch a match where the USMNT won in the World Cup (they only win when I'm not watching). so i'm thinking maybe I don't watch Iran? idk...

Disheartening to hear Southgate say " “It was exactly the sort of game I thought it would be". Many fancied teams that went far have laboured through their second game after a vibrant first win (e.g. both Brazil and Germany in 2014...Italy in 2006 perhaps even) but you might as well just be saying 'we knew that to put the effort in to try and win was too risky'. It'll be interesting to see who does win two in a row.

I think BRA and ESP will.

I didn't know he was one of the decent Brazilians in the squad, makes it all that sweeter he scored the beautiful goal.

If Eng played real positive and maybe like a Championship side the fans might be happier but Eng fans being angry and fucked off is how I like it.

there are plenty of managers in the Championship and League 1 who are much better than Southgate, even the rookie, Vincent Kompany is a better manager than Southgate. He's just a bland middle-management yes-man with the right face for the FA.

eh maybe so, still last two tournaments were if anything over achievements so maybe managers don't matter

Aussies up for this

delightful header

jackson irvine's hair/moustache combo has gotten him out of about 3 bookings in the one and a bit games so far lol
