FIFA World Cup thread. 12:02 - Nov 15 with 166786 viewsSnipper

I’m trying to get excited about this World Cup, but to no avail :-((.

I’ve just watched Sky Sports World Cup preview with Gary Neville, Jamie Redknapp, Jamie Carragher & Karen Carney. Utterly depressing viewing. Same old, same old. Picking players for the starting XI not playing for their clubs, or totally off form.

I’m hoping this thread can get the juices flowing.

Do any of you think England have a chance?

V v physical team this Morocco outfit as well, which again isn't a great fit.


Exactly. Chair isn't suited to the way Morocco play. I can't see him getting any pitch time if Morocco go through.

If Morrocco somehow get through, I reckon Chair has a chance in the Quarters the injuries they're getting.

Big Rapey Cristiano dropped to the bench for the evening game.
He's had a fall out with the coach apparently which personally I just cannot and will not believe.

Morocco taken to fouling their own players now. How was that not at least a yellow?

I guess one of the few teams England have beaten in a shoot-out were always going to have a worse penalties record.

That weak penalty low to the keepers right or left that basically all the missed penalties have been... why do they keep doing that? Mental.

No goals after 120 minutes and not even penalties scored, they used up their goal quota in the first game. Come to think of it, Costa Rica would probably nick one against Morocco.

Spain were crowned winners by Graeme Souness a few days ago, all gone tits up for them. I thought they were terrible today. Fair play to Morocco, they've been really good.

Slight aside, but do you think the ITV pundit team choreographed their clothes? All four of them in insipid cream...... what's that all about??

I’m sure he will have a crazy conspiracy theory to explain the loss.

Apart from the first game Spain have been bang average imo , despite the hype by some on here over their World class youngsters

Love Spanish football and love Pedri and Gavi but Spain were terrible tonight and lacked pace, tempo, dribbling and variety, and not sure how Pedri and Gavi together was going to work against that Moroccon set-up. Also thought the erratic Olmo was an odd choice, and would have like to see them start with both Fati and Williams to stretch Morocco and get behind them with Morata in the middle as even he's a far better finisher than Asensio.

For all the 'I can't believe ITV ditched Tyldesley for Matterface' stuff, this is where Tyldesley is absolutely insufferable. There's a talking point, there's a Man Utd angle, and he cannot leave it alone. Talking about absolutely nothing else. At one point even says "let's not talk about Ronaldo for a bit, there are 22 other international standard athletes out there... 3 mentions in the next six minutes. Like picking a scab, he can't leave it alone.

I can't decide, do we want the Swiss to smash Portugal and Ronaldo to come on and cry? Do we want it at 0-0, Ronaldo to come on and make the mistake that hands Switzerland the winner and then cry? Or do we want Ronaldo to miss the 5th penalty and cry?
