Hate It If We Played It - Qatar World Cup 2022

As much for my own benefit as anyone's...

Against the fart of play

Lol they're really checking this for a pen?

That was a complete dive

What a joke. Pen

Complete fucking dive

HAHAHAHAHAHAH

Ten minutes stoppage in first half

Polish keeper knows that was no penalty

I hate watching Poland, so stodgy and predictable.

This is unbelievable…

Again have to agree with this, though I quite like JK.

If Poland win what a pressure-cooker ARGMEX should be. So stoked for that.

This is also a better game now.

Entertaining game this

Lewandowski scores at last!

LOLdi Arabia

Oh dear..

The only way Robert could score with his mediocre teammates leaving him cold

Lol @ Lewandowski crying on the floor after scoring that

Wonder if the defender will still get his Rolls after that..

Lol muffed that one

0-0 huh..

Nice

Not so good: 1-1

Kylian killin' em

Credit to FRA. DEN looked dangerous at moments, it could have gone the other way. But unless DEN can beat AUS they are going home.

AUS-DEN will come down to which side can show the greater sense, or perhaps even sensibility

Argentina not really impressing so far, wouldn't be surprised if Mexico score.

Fingers crossed, it would be hilarious if the pre-tournament favourites went out.

If Arg draw and beat Poland they meet France.

France aren't as good as 2018 to me. It will probably be good enough to beat Argentina. Unless they improve.

If they improve now surely they beat Mex.

Argentina have scrapped their way into the game but look well short of form still

I was under the impression Brazil and France were the favourites

Argentina are shockingly poor though

Couple of really nasty tackles in the first half, wonder if Roy Keane has any funny comments to make about those.

A lot better and now a goal!

wowow

Mexico totally toothless tbh.

Yeah he's still got it (sometimes)

Just parked my car. What’d I miss?

👍

Fantastic goal

Awesome sauce, boss!

Guess I must have parked in my lucky spot.

2-0 is a very flattering scoreline but the goals were great at least. Going to be some tense final games in this group.

Mexico totally toothless tbh.

Almost never seen them be any good in WCs

Arg dominated that 2nd half. 2-0 is about right. Can see them taking out Poland no problem.

AUS-DEN will come down to which side can show the greater sense, or perhaps even sensibility

Underrated post.

The play’s the thing

Gary Neville talked about players not fearing Messi is getting the laughs. Other good one was how apparently you could exchange the English and Argies and no one would notice!

I would like them to meet. Probably the only chance left for an England side to face Messi.

Neville and even Keane were very confident at HT about how poor ARG were.

Then at FT didn't really refer to this fact.

Impressed by Joe Cole saying that Messi's movement was "counter-intuitive".

Sorry for MEX, who have never gone beyond a WC QF if that.
