World Cup 2022

Made a lot of changes 2nd half, including replacing Alisson for their 3rd choice keeper, to give him a WC game. No point going all out for a slaughter when the game was won in the first half, need to pace themselves for the next game.

My money is still on France, would be a good final France v Brazil, haven't checked if they can avoid one another in the semi's.

Brazil v France is a possible final (which also makes {insert spanner} Brazil v England possible)

Brazil v Argentina is a possible semi final

It’s basically this for the semis

Brazil or Croatia v Argentina or Netherlands


France or England v Morocco or Spain or Portugal or Switzerland

Brazil v Argentina would be some game too, wouldn't like to call that one to put money on it.

Netherlands is a bit like England, don't think they're on the same level as the France, Spain, Brazil or Argentina teams, however they stuck 3 past the USA, something England couldn't do. Croatia are past their best, not sure what to make of Portugal, surprised they've made it this far, Switzerland have been a surprise too, steady progress and could be the dark horses.

Wow, Morocco putting Spain out on pens after a 0-0 game.

Scratch that about Switzerland, getting cuffed 2-0 by Portugal, stunning first goal by Ramos.

Portugal doing a Brazil and scudding their opponents 4-1, could and should be more goals coming, Ronaldo still sitting on the bench too, he'll be going in a huff again.

And there is another one, 5-1 Portugal.

6-1 Portugal FT, demolition job there.

Would love a France v Portugal & Argentina v Brazil semi finals.

Would hate a Morocco v England one though.

Brazil OOT.

Croatia are shit hot at pens, deserved it too getting an equaliser when it looked like Brazil had it in the bag.

France and Argentina are the best two teams left, France are still my bet for winning it.

2-0 Argies, Messi cool as feck scoring his pen.

2-1 aw fuck dinny want Holland getting a draw and taking it to ET and pens.

Aw FFS the Dutch score from a free kick right on 10 mins added time, another 30 mins now.

Like us against Motherwell going into the split, throwing away a 2-0 lead.

No upset this time, Argentina winning the pen shoot out.

Quite dramatic though, Netherlands missing their first 2 pens then taking it right to the death with Argentina needing to score their final one.

About 15 yellow cards handed out too.
