You have to support someone.

I'm sorry to put it so bluntly, but you don't make much sense now. (I have seen a little bit of the World Cup now. Neymar's goal yesterday was superb. As unsporting as he is as a character, he's a damn good player.) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might watch some of the games that are still left, but I'm not rooting for anyone -- unless it's an individual team in a particular match putting on a splendid display. I have historical reasons to support anyone that Holland or (to a lesser degree) Serbia plays against, and I have tended to support Spain in the 2000s, but other than that, I just enjoy the games that I watch. I haven't watched a single game from start to finish in this World Cup, and most games I haven't watched at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xzar_monty Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Astonishing victory for Morocco. The moment at the end, when the Moroccan player was one-on-one with the goalie, was a great example of fatigue and tension destroying all composure: the finish was awful, but I understand it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My sense is that at least some of the upsets are due to the fact that some of the teams had hardly any time to practice. Almost no friendlies before the tournament. But to answer your question: can't think of one just now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyrock Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Morocco winning put a smile on my face. As for the next match, I'm torn.

Some cases, it's just crap management. Germany and Spain for example. Or poor selection of squad. Is something interesting to go through though, 2014 had Costa Rica's great run, 2018 had Croatia.

On the other hand if they're distracted enough Ireland may be able to take revenge on them while they're celebrating. 1 1 1 "Akiva Goldsman and Alex Kurtzman run the 21st century version of MK ULTRA." - majestic "I'm gonna hunt you down so that I can slap you square in the mouth." - Bartimaeus "Without individual thinking you can't notice the plot holes." - InsaneCommander "Just feed off the suffering of gamers." - Malcador "You are calling my taste crap." -Hurlshort "thankfully it seems like the creators like Hungary less this time around." - Sarex "Don't forget the wakame, dumbass" -Keyrock "Are you trolling or just being inadvertently nonsensical?' -Pidesco "we have already been forced to admit you are at least human" - uuuhhii "I refuse to buy from non-woke businesses" - HoonDing "feral camels are now considered a pest" - Gorth "Melkathi is known to be an overly critical grumpy person" - Melkathi "Oddly enough Sanderson was a lot more direct despite being a Mormon" - Zoraptor "I found it greatly disturbing to scroll through my cartoon's halfing selection of genitalias." - Wormerine "Am I phrasing in the most negative light for them?
