World Cup 2022

The power of hype and anime prevailed. Spain and Japan are both advancing.

Wow that Mexico free kick goal was amazing!

Yeah, agree. That was a killer shot.

What's crazy is that we've seen several saved penalties. The Polish goalkeeper has had at least 2. Phenomenal. He saved one against Saudi Arabia, and I remember thinking he deserved 72 virgins.. lol

Pulisic rocks...

Germany has fallen in the group stage for the 2nd WC in a row. 🙁

I still have USA and Brasil! 😎

Guess I'll support US now or Brazil if they start doing better. Hopefully pulisic isn't injured.

Awesome. 😎 🇺🇸 🇧🇷

Whelp I guess that's all for the USA and Australia. Though Australia did a lot better than I though given their opponent.

Motherfu#ker. I can't believe our defense was that bad.

The first 2 goals were the exact same play and we fell for it. And the 3rd one bothered me the most just leaving that guy wide open.

Stupid zone defense, I guess.

I also suspect that Sargent being out threw us off big time.

Go Brasil!

at this point, I think it is safe to assume that the final will be between france and brazil.

The power of hype and anime came up just short for Japan. Though the fact that it came down to penalty kicks for Croatia shows just how much fight Japan put up against them

Then there's Brazil's utter dominance of South Korea.

Brazil looked sick AF against South Korea.

Although, I will say that the foul that won the penalty kick was total BS. But still, a 4-1 defeat is a slaughterhouse.

I guess the power of anime went to Morocco's defense and Bono.

Though speaking of a slaughterhouse...did someone from Switzerland do something to make Portugal mad?

I was working during the Portugal v Switzerland match and my mate said Ronaldo wasn't starting, I thought he was joking but no. Sad in one way seeing the inevitable end of a career of one of the best, but good for Portugal looks like the future is bright still with the new guy getting a hat trick.

I have two days off work now but there's no football on for the first time in idk how long, typical.

Bounou is an amazing keeper.

Harry Kane is amazing... come at me!

USA beating Iran was historic.

Well Saudi Arabia and Mexico took each other out: Mexico won but they came up just short 1 goal difference of knocking Poland out.

Hopefully by the power of hype and anime that Spain and Japan somehow both advance tomorrow.

I am of the view that Saudi Arabia was placed in a very tough group. It might have advanced to next stage in another group.

Well, better luck next time.

Japan did well in group stage.

Brazil knocked out, damn.

Croatia is proving to be a total beast again.

I kinda hope it ends up CRO vs MOR. The returning second place vs the underdog of underdogs

Goddamn, I actually said to a friend, we do not want to get into a penalty shootout with that goalkeeper. He was great during the game. And the Brasil keeper hadn't been tested enough to stay sharp.

So frustrating. 😔

I dunno... Go England now?

🤷‍♂️

Whelp I guess Croatia's decided to beast out again. Livakovic' continues to impress.

Wonder if England can keep the pace.

Motherf#cker... this WC has fallen apart.

Damn Netherlands had to fall after knocking the USA out.

That was a bonkers game, though.
