xp I was very nice to my better half in fairness (cos I don’t care). I will never enjoy cricket

also can a mod add OFFICIAL to this thread title?

Anybody not backing Brazil?

Prospect of France being the first champions to get out of the group for 20 years only to face Argentina again also v tantalising

nashwan, Saturday, 19 November 2022 13:32 (one year ago) link

if by "backing" you mean supporting then no, bunch of Bolsonaro-supporting cunts, hope they go out ASAP.

my preference is for the whole thing to be cancelled, however if someone has to win it, I'll be glad if it's England because

* If any world cup "doesn't count" it's this one, so bragging rights would be minimised
* we would never have to hear another new version of Three Lions
* If Rashford, Sancho and Saka can score the winning goals then it will piss off all the right people.

I’m supporting nobody but I do hope the legendary Portugal-Netherlands card record gets broken - and I’m feeling it in the bad vibe of this tournament, lads.

in the VAR age it's harder to get away with anything so it would have to be just a total fuck-it brawl

I passed a Paddy Power ad today on the way into Dublin airport that said “At least Sterling spent more time at 10 than Truss.” I’m indifferent to the fortunes of the English national team but I can guess the discourse.

I don’t think I implied otherwise!

after several days on “the milk,” (gyac), Saturday, 19 November 2022 14:37 (one year ago) link

by that I mean players are generally better at not doing things that get them sent off, would guess that red card numbers this and last EPL season are down on the average

THAT SAID this last AFCON was an absolute red card bonanza, every time they went to VAR someone was sent off for some nonsense, so maybe, hopefully that'll be the case here too

I got into baseball this year and in baseball any time there’s a brawl there’s an understanding that everyone has to run up and involve themselves. FIFA should make that a rule for this WC. Game needs a goalbrawl.

I suppose I should support Japan as there's so many Japanese players at Celtic these days, in reality I don't give a fuck who wins it - as long as it's not Brazil. A team with as few Premiership players as possible would be welcome though.

our Japanese international, Yuta, had a season-ending ankle injury just a couple of weeks back. Our only other international is the mighty Sorba Thomas in the Welsh squad, but he won't get a start or if he comes off the bench he'll likely be played in an unfamiliar position and not let near any set-pieces.

calzino, Saturday, 19 November 2022 15:26 (one year ago) link

feels absolutely wide open this time, every team has big flaws and nobody is really putting forward a compelling case ahead of anyone else. France clearly the best squad but aside from the strong suspicion that they'll implode again their biggest problem is their central midfield being ripped out. my money is on Spain and Argentina with a small each way on Uruguay but like everyone else I feel like I could come up with better reasons why they won't win than why they will

Helpful Hint: Qatar is pronounced "cutter", like in the Echo and the Bunnymen song I could never figure out

"if by "backing" you mean supporting then no, bunch of Bolsonaro-supporting cunts, hope they go out ASAP."

Lula won the election you know.

I'd much rather South America (Brazil or ARG) won it or an African team got in the semis-/final/won than fucking Europe again.

xyzzzz__, Saturday, 19 November 2022 17:03 (one year ago) link

Also this might be the first of many winter world cups, given climate change.

xyzzzz__, Saturday, 19 November 2022 17:07 (one year ago) link

Yes I know Lula won the election, thanks. I mean many of the more famous players on the team publicly support Bolsonaro, including Neymar who is apparently going to dedicate his first goal at the WC to him.

xp he means that most of the players supported Bolsonaro

Richarlison an honourable exception iirc

This thread seems to be going fine everyone just enjoying the camaraderie of a little sporting action “innit”, anyway when’s the real World Cup (women’s)

Players I want to have a bad WC:

Neymar
Ronaldo

just checked and Ramos wasn't picked for the squad, so ok for Spain to progress then.

I know you know this. My point is the people backing the team voted the other way.

xyzzzz__, Saturday, 19 November 2022 17:33 (one year ago) link

the "dedicating my first goal to Bolsonaro" thing is the vital factor here, for me at least, if he could score 0 goals that would be ideal.

link.exposing.politically (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Saturday, 19 November 2022 17:41 (one year ago) link

At least Eng aren't winning it.

This will be great if Bolsanaro dies in the next few days and then Neymar has to point solemnly at the ground after scoring

nashwan, Saturday, 19 November 2022 17:52 (one year ago) link

and then it's disallowed anyway

neymar can take off his pants in solidarity

LOL remember this? They can maybe repeat it with a pair of Bolsonaro's underpants.

Jail Bolsonaro (I wish)

Brazil can win if Neymar chokes and has to be benched in disgrace and they win in some style without him

after several days on “the milk,” (gyac), Saturday, 19 November 2022 18:30 (one year ago) link

IMO I can be satisfied if the first time Neymar dives, the opposing team's coach picks him up and body slams him to the ground, earning a well-deserved tournament ban

Fash Gordon (Neanderthal), Saturday, 19 November 2022 18:33 (one year ago) link

Brazil struggling in qualification for the first time in a long while but they waited until there are six berths (plus a likely seventh via play-off) to qualify.

nashwan, Wednesday, 22 November 2023 13:07 (five months ago) link

Brazil just never ever struggle in qualifiers. Three straight defeats 😱

xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 22 November 2023 13:12 (five months ago) link

The match was called very one-sided in Argentina's favor but that ain't why Brazil lost. They had zero ideas. Lots of balls played to prospective runners who never made runs, poorly weighted balls, bad first touches.

Argentina weren't much better, didn't even score until after Messi subbed out
