DaveInSA Posted February 6, 2022 Report Share Posted February 6, 2022 I’ll never get these 2 hours of my life back. Egypt is dire. But could Gabanski solve our goal keeping problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoystonFoote'snephew Posted February 6, 2022 Report Share Posted February 6, 2022 Thank God Senegal won it. Salah didn't even get to take a penalty. Shame! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Original OTIB Posted February 6, 2022 Report Share Posted February 6, 2022 Think Salah will leave Liverpool now, new start and all that. Get the trophy he stays, satisfied. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveybadger Posted February 6, 2022 Report Share Posted February 6, 2022 Jermaine Jenas talks about the love and respect between players (at the end - Mane and Salah). Salah looked like he’d rather be with anyone else! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha yeah I just meant somehow getting through a tournament whilst looking very poor attacking wise. Shows all styles have their place still. IIRC the Portuguese finished 3rd in their group & only won one game in normal time. Fair play to Senegal. Really happy for big Fam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy. 1 minute ago, Carey 6 said: Yeah crazy that Senegal did just that and won because of it There was analysis done a few years ago that suggested the later, higher pressure pens benefitted from the best players taking them, as they were more likely to be crucial. The obvious retort is ‘if they take them’. Perhaps the solution is somewhere in the middle? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YCbrs Posted February 6, 2022 Report Share Posted February 6, 2022 Egypt are so bad, apart from their keeper I am so glad that Mane slotted that second one in the shoot out. Under pressure Salah should have stepped up earlier though, all well and good taking the winning kick but not if it doesn’t make it to you. People saying Senegal did the same thing but Senegal have far better players and I know it’s only penalties but quality shows when it’s fine margins like that.

To give u some perspective into my weirdness, I have had some upsetting news about a family member. So while i appreciate the stress and emotion involved in a high pressure sporting event, it occurred to while watching all these players blubbing........that they earn a fortune doing one of the best jobs in the world, they have beautiful houses, probably beautiful wives and yet they worry about a defeat so much that cry their eyes out. I completely understand their disappointment, but when they wake up tomorrow, i am certain it won't seem too bad. It's a football match....and tomorrow there will be another football match........ PS. I have also had a drink, which no doubt lubricates my judgement? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
