FIFA World Cup 2022

I was gonna say this a few days ago, then a few hours ago but I’m definitely gonna say it now. This is an unbelievable fantastic World Cup!

C’mon Holland  

(though BBC commentator Jonathan Pearce is fucking diabolical)

It was striking earlier in the tournament to see central / south american teams play teams like Canada or Japan or South Korea.  Central / south americans flopping & rolling every time they're breathed on while Japan / S. Korea players doing their best to actually stay upright and continue the play after tackles.

Mostly Emi Martinez and Acuna. Fuck those silly cunts.

Benzema might be able to play for France in the final!!

hate this narrative, "Messi wants to win the world cup." boring and uninteresting. doesn't every other player want to do that? why does messi "deserve" this trophy more any one else? This is a team sport, and no one player deserves anything more than anyone else, even if they are absolutely spectacular players like Leo. 

very ready people on twitter to stop talking like edward said when they're watching the wc

I don’t say he deserves it more than others. But it will be the perfect finale for a great player. And it will be great if a non-european country could win it for the first time in 20 years.

i do agree with the last part. western europe has passed around this thing for too long

Pretty unlikely, I don't see why Deschamps would bring him back at the risk of breaking the cohesion of the team...

Cause he's fucking sick and used to play for Lyon :))

Not a chance on Benz playing I would say.

The tires would damage the pitch don't think they'd do that.

Perfect! 

Exciting game, though I hate to see it end on PKs.  I do think Argentina had the better quality goals overall, especially their second, though Mbappe's non-PK goal was an amazing strike.

On the whole, Arg was the better team, but after a while I got annoyed so much by the argentinian display of fakery in battles, I was wildly supportive of France. The ref could have given a couple of yellows for the argentinian fakeries. Or what its called. Schwalbe or sumsuch

Now Messi has to go back and play at PSG. Dude's gonna get abused every single game this season now lol
