[Football] World Cup - Day Eight

[Kinky Gerbil]

Morocco were well up for it. Whereas Belgium played as though they thought all they had to do was turn up.

Belgium are just not very good.

Great run and header

The odds of Canada making the round of 16 have dwindled considerably.

We will win today and vs Morocco to make it thru. I dare to dream!

Even now?

Even now?

With Canada winning their odds will of course tumble.

Well, yes, but forgetting the betting angle, the odds of them making it through have improved dramatically, and I'd love to see them going through.

Have you all been bias voting in the BBC player ratings, because every Albion player has got top marks for their team in every game. Some have only been on for 10 minutes!

.... and what's got you railing against the democratic opinion of the people, all of a sudden??

 

[Marty McFly]

Equaliser was just a matter of time.

Belgium are just not very good.

Rely on one player too much, similar to England. They were so slow, similar to England. They have a manager who is behind the times tactically, similar to England. They will not win a tournament anytime soon, you know the rest.

 

[Swansman]

Completely suicidal defending, just like against Belgium. 2v3 or 3v4 all the time. Croatia could score another two or three goals.

Yep. Heart in mouth moment every time Croatia venture forward.

 

[Eeyore]

Odd tournament. Either some of the 'bigger' nations aren't as good as we imagined or the player's heads aren't in the right space because of the nature of the tournament. Just want it to get through to the later stages now.

Still think England are headed to a QF exit against France. Hope to be wrong.

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

What a thoroughly entertaining half of football.

They are old, really old - Toby and Jans legs went 3 years ago.

 

[The Wizard]

‘So Martin (Keown) did you ever play with a protective face mask?’

‘No, I just got on with it’

Ohhhhh you’re ard

 

[Quebec Seagull]

Well, that was exactly like watching the 2022-23 Ottawa Senators.

.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Two of the most enjoyable games have included Canada.

 

[The Lemming Stomper]

Agreed.
And Jenas is ok too, provides some decent tactical insight.
