I wonder if any Asian country can win even a single match
They destroyed Iran 6-2 lmaoooSo England is already dominating Iran and it’s only half time
I couldn’t tel if this was meant to be a reply to me or if this was just a general comment, but either way it’s fine. More importantly, this sounds like fun. Where do you guys typically watch your football matches at?Netherlands vs Senegal would be fun to watch
I think that it's a matter of time TBHI wonder if any Asian country can win even a single match
To be honest Iran played better than Qatar I can't complain, it's just England is a better team than Ecuador.They destroyed Iran 6-2 lmaooo
I expected Iran to do better tbh, they played well until the first goal conceded
they made twice as many fouls as England and I thought they could get a draw with England but at least they scored 2 goals against England
Hey! I love soccer / football. I would say the groups to keep aware of is the group with Spain / Germany and the Belgium / Croatia. Those are all going to be good matches between each 4 teams in those groups. I would say the teams to watch would be Argentina, Brazil, Germany, Spain, Portugal, England, Netherlands, Belgium, and France. (Each of their games even if it's vs a country that has low notoriety would be fun to watch!)I played soccer for nine years in grade school (albeit to varying levels of success, but that’s not important) and seeing a thread like this get more attention than I would have expected is honestly getting me little bit nostalgic right about now. I want to be caught up more on how the different countries/teams have been performing as of late. Speaking of late, I do understand I’m a little bit late to this party, but I would still appreciate being able to try and catch up at least a little bit. Like, what countries/teams should we be looking out for on bracket? Stuff like that, mostly.
I use (ill)egal soccer streams to watch online, if you need a link I will PM it you. But I plan on watching the games at my house or with family / family depending on the matches being play.I couldn’t tel if this was meant to be a reply to me or if this was just a general comment, but either way it’s fine. More importantly, this sounds like fun. Where do you guys typically watch your football matches at?
(Now that the salty Americans are here, yes, I do actually believe football to be the correct name even though I actually am one myself. An American, I mean, not a football.)
Agreed with the Qatar statement I can see that too. Also Kane has been looking great actually! The assist I saw was fantastic to Sterling!Qatar looked incredibly weak yesterday, I can see them going the entire tournament without scoring once. Toothless even after Ecuador took off their Captain at half time. I genuinely think my old football team would've beaten them handily.
England looked great today, would've been 6-1 without the bullshit penalty at the end which equals the 6-1 English record from last WC. Kane didn't score, which isn't great for his confidence, but it showed the younger guys can step up when needed. Feels bad for Iran, didn't really know what to do once the GK was off (though the game was admittedly one-sided prior to that).
Netherlands VS Senegal now! Poor Mane is out so I'm expecting a decent win for the Netherlands.
I will say the Senegal vs Netherlands game was much closer than 2-0 so I agree with you. [Shoutout to both #1 and #2 Ballon d'Or finalists who are not in the World Cup]USA dominated the first half today, not sure if thats just because Wales weren't really playing though. As soon as Moore came on it was a different game entirely, one which Wales dominated until USA decided to come back into the game after the equaliser. That being said, Wales didn't look lethal and, if not for the penalty, I'm not even certain they would've bagged one. They did say in the post match interviews that they were all tired from flights etc, maybe they'll get over it before next game. Neither team looks like they can measure up to England, so it might just come down to goal difference, provided they both beat Iran and don't manage to upset England. I think Wales have to start Moore, completely different team with the pressure he provides.
Didn't watch Senegal vs Netherlands in its entirety but looked quite competitive, real shame Mane isn't there. 2-0 makes it look a lot less close than it was -- 46/54 possession and Senegal even had more shots, both on and off target.
Agreed with almost everything you said!Qatar: pathetic first game, maybe the pressure was too much for them, because they usually play a better than that (not enough to beat Ecuador tho)
Ecuador: great debut, showing they aren't here just for playing the groupstage. A lot of young players making his first WC appeareance but it was Valencia (33yo) who made the diff, experience in WC is so important. Hope to see them in the next round, they will have to beat Senegal or Ned, both teams that are supposedly better than them, but I think they have what it takes to surprise.
Netherlands: two lucky goals gave them the win in a fairly disappointing game from them. Senegal dominated a big part of the game and deserved at least a tie, Netherlands struggled to show the level they had in the qualifying, but at the end they got the win and that's enough given the importance of this game.
Senegal: showed they can pose a threat even without Mané, but at the same time they weren't able to score without him. Shootouts to Netherlands' goalkeeper, who had a great game. In the other hand, Mendy practically lost the game for Senegal, who deserved at least a tie imo.
Iran/England: didn't watch the game.
USA: they are used to create chances and not scoring enough, bad substitutions and a really poor second half gave Wales the chance to draw the game, which was fair. I think the USA had the game in their hands but the lack of experience on pitch and bad decisions taken by the coach leaves them with a tie that can be really problematic, as their rivals for the second place of the group is Wales.
Wales: really bad first half and really good second half, with Moore Wales started to dominate the game and USA showed all their weaknesses in def. Bale had a bad game, tbh, but he appeared when needed and scored a really important goal for Wales if they want to qualify. I think they have more chances to draw or win against England than USA, we will see.
I think saudi arabia will win the cup of world!I wonder if any Asian country can win even a single match
2-1 rn lolI think saudi arabia will win the cup of world!
Okay so I have changed my mind, Saudi Arabia wins the whole thing and Saleh Al-Shehri is my favorite playerIt's this guy's year, trust
Yes of course, they're still favored to win the other two, remember that spain lost their opening game in 2010, but it will be a great psychological test to these players as the pressure is immense nowman is it possible for Argentina to qualify the group stage?
Possible ever is, because Football is a surprises box.man is it possible for Argentina to qualify the group stage?
