2022 Football World Cup

No problem from me, ABM, and I doubt that tda will be bother about the mix up either.

Two extraordinary games today, with Spain being knocked out by Morocco and then Portugal running riot over Switzerland without Ronaldo in the starting line up!

Love the hockey tale ABM. I used to play hockey, however, at Teacher Training College I was introduced to Lacrosse. Think something akin to aerial Murder Ball🫣 I once got sent off at Trentbridge! The goalie didn’t need an ambulance though🤣🤣🤣

Portugal absolutely cruised through tonight. Well done Morocco as well👏

Yet another huge upset with Croatia knocking out the favourites in many people's eyes, Brazil. Can the Dutch do the same tonight to Argentina? However at the moment it doesn't look likely!

Well who would have believed it, a second penalty shootout tonight, especially after Argentina went two up and the Netherlands not playing well at all! Anyone's guess who will triumph now.

Wow, amazing games. Fingers crossed for tomorrow….🤞

One surprise after another...well done Morocco.

Time for England to take advantage of the misfortunes of others...will there be a better chance?

They are playing well, but France have been superb all through the competition. Poor HK, never easy.

Another " close run thing "!!  but sadly  not to be Englands Big Thing.

Ah well,  I will have to hang on for another four years  I suppose ............

...and then there were four....unfortunately not including us...yes, poor Harry but we play too defensively...Maguire probably had more possession than anyone else on the England team, however he doesn't know what to do with it.

you can't run a team with him and Stones as you playmakers...

time and again Shaw had the ball but after finding no one down the line with his left foot, he was unable to slip the ball onto his right to switch play to the England right side (a La Trent Alexander-Arnold) so the ball went back to Stones or Maguire...again...

At this level, players need to be two footed and we are sadly lacking in this area...time and agin players choosing not to shoot because the ball is 'on their weaker side'...an excuse pundits trot out for one of them hitting the grandstand..🤷🏻‍♂️

and then, with us one down, we get a free kick just inside the French half...what happens, instead of getting the ball into the area (we'd just spen ten mins trying to do just that) we take it short, get crowded out and the ball goes back to the keeper...

sorry, but this negativity must be drummed into them, it's almost as if they feel having more posssesion in their own last third wins games....its goals...scored at the other end.

Really enjoyed the 2 semi final games. Certainly helps when you don’t support either team and aren’t bothered who wins.

Looking forward to the weekend games.
