FIFA World Cup: Qatar 2022 • Page 60

is Croatia or Beligum the team called off here?

Croatia player looks ahead by a hair, but fact that its impossible to tell from the image means it really shouldn't be called offside.

 

I think if your attack requires you to be rescued by a player who has played about 3 games of football in six months, you deserve to go out.

 

A prayer to God that he's not available if Lampard gets sacked.

 

missed the second half of the Belgium game

Lukaku had like at least three different Bill Buckner moments. Gonna haunt him for the rest of his life but at least it wasn’t Game 6 of the World Series like the actual Buckner

 

Which is the game to watch tonight then? Japan - Spain?

 

Spain’s the only team that can advance with a draw, so maybe Germany-Costa Rica?

I just love watching Spain’s midfield play, so I’ll choose them anyway.

 

I really want Japan to advance but it seems unlikely.

 

Costa Rica can also advance with a draw

 

Wtf does Tomiyasu not start for Japan? Would have thought he'd be nailed, or is it a system thing?

 

1 minute in and the ITV commentator referred to Nico Williams as Iñaki Williams.

On two separate occasions.

 

Great start, this. Gimme more

 

Musiala is a problem

 

Yes

 

Japan coach sticks to his players. Kyogo doesn’t even get called up for example.

Better than RTÉ calling Balde Nico Williams

 

They’re gonna score 8 this half

 

this was my fault

 

Interestingly, Morata tries to autocorrect to Morita. If both score tonight that'd be something.

 

The lineswoman is blind it seems

 

Three separate occasions now! 30 minutes apart!

 

Could it be Spain's rotated team is their best team? Unfortunate for Japan if so...

 

Just realized Spain has three CBs on their bench and they're still starting a defensive mid at CB instead. Some of the better options must've gotten injured just before the tournament.

 

need japan or costa rica to nick a goal and induce some second half drama

so i doubt either happens

 

I think they read my idea in here

 

Fuck me, what a strike!
