Port Said Red Posted December 10, 2022 Report Share Posted December 10, 2022 People mentioned in previous posts how classy Modric was after the penalties, in consoling the Brazilian players. How about this ... https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1601358668129513472?s=20&t=XEOhQNeJuh1xrSoPbksY2w Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that football is an absolute religion in Argentina (far more than it is here, and we gave them football) but this lacks class. Did you see what the Dutch were doing in the pens?

spudski Posted December 10, 2022 Report Share Posted December 10, 2022 This is why the Argies reacted the way they did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awbb Posted December 10, 2022 Report Share Posted December 10, 2022 From my experience, many South American players quite often play close to the edge (there were a couple of fairly naughty hits on Gakpo and Depay off the ball early, for example) and if the referee loses the respect of the players, as clearly happened last night, the other team, whoever they are, generally will reciprocate, whether that is the right thing to do or not. We see it more from Argentina largely because they regularly reach the later stages of the World Cup, IMHO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For what it is worth I think England will win tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Open End Numb Legs Posted December 10, 2022 Report Share Posted December 10, 2022 Only just watched some clips of yesterday's games, Christmas is starting to get in the way... Brazil made a huge error, 1-0 up, 4 mins from a win and they get caught on the break, 4 v 4 in their box to concede. Argentina - what is it with these South American teams? We have seen some fantastic games in this WC, good sportsmanship in defeat, then you see these teams bring the whole thing down. If you can't win with at least a bit of grace then there is no hope. Ugly stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted December 10, 2022 Report Share Posted December 10, 2022 Just talking about the Croatia v Brazil game again, I think some of the apparent claims of negativity were harsh. Watched some highlights. They were somewhat cautious yes although technically excellent but what frequently happened was that the final ball...was lacking. The final shot...failed to get it away, a Brazil defender made a little block whatever. The shot count was therefore perhaps a little misleadingly low, in the sense that they creativity and positivity was let down by the aforementioned factors.

Port Said Red Posted December 10, 2022 Report Share Posted December 10, 2022 This is very poor and boring so far. Morocco look totally comfortable, but have no threat in front of goal, Portugal are uninspiring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to say, that when there have been games like this, I think my wife has been incredibly patient about me watching them. I have even offered to switch to something else during the worst games, hoping that would earn me brownie points when I need the, but she has been pretty good about the whole tournament. I think it helps that it's the middle of winter and she isn't interested in going out anywhere much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledAjax Posted December 10, 2022 Report Share Posted December 10, 2022 (edited) That is weak defending. But a fun bit of midfield play, a speculative cross, and the lad gets up like the springiest of all salmon to nod home. There's a whiff of Greece '04, but Morocco do have more about them going forward. Edited December 10, 2022 by ExiledAjax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
