Well, merely watching it doesn't mean you have to support the host nation, supporting a club there, hm, maybe. I've never felt any compunction to support England just because Walcott was on the side. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2022/dec/05/fox-sports-us-world-cup-coverage-tv-soccer Canadian coverage isn't much better.

Croatia, Uruguay and Portugal tend to punch seriously above their weight. Uruguay of course made an exception this time. Also, Switzerland are surprisingly good in the "we're always there" category. In the five EC/WC competitions since 2014, only two countries have always advanced from their group, and they're France and Switzerland.

They are in Serbian and a lot of them would not be suitable for this forum. But here are a couple: Top is a cashier asking the Serbian coach if he is collecting points (here there are usually some points that you can collect in the supermarket with a purchase). Bottom he answers no. Top one is an average football formation, bottom one is ours. The face of our coach as he is fulfilling his pre cup promises.

Gonçalo Ramos has a lot of potential. He is not the next Haaland, but at the very least he is the next André Silva. Certainly better than Diouf. Anyway he was already valued at 30m.

BruceVC Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Okay so we getting to the end of the prestigious 2022 WC These are predictions for who I want to win over the next few games and its all based around England winning the WC, and the teams they need to face, and playing Brazil in the final Brazil vs Croatia : Brazil wins Netherlands vs Argentina: Netherlands wins Morocco vs Portugal: Morocco wins (its unlikely but they will be easier to beat than Portugal ) England vs France : England wins Saturday England vs France is going to be epic, I like France but England needs to win because France won the last WC and everyone prefers a good old English Breakfast than a French croissant "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

InsaneCommander Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 Well done, Croatia. Their players had played more time and were supposedly more tired. Still, they won. And one more team needs to practice a lot more shootouts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
