Stop slacking, we need more memes.
- Whilst Messi is busy getting his arse handed to him? No, sir.Continuity
- Did they really shit the bed? Or they blaming it on the ref?palimpsest
- We still need more memes on this thread, regardless.palimpsest
- I wouldn't say shit the bed, necessarily. But they've been touching cloth since SA's second goal.Continuity
- That said, SA's keeper just kneed one of his own in the face, whilst punching a ball clear out of his box. So, hey. There are enough shenanigans to go around.Continuity
- And SA have racked up SIX bookings. And it's still only their first match.Continuity
- That knee to the face was BRUTAL.Ianbolton

Not watching, just checking results.
Hope someone who never won gets the trophy.
Preferably not a European team.My favs are Senegal, Ghana, Cameroon and Morocco.

Take this, Argentina! hahaha!!!1!!

Okay folks. sorry, I will watch it.
Hope Brazil or Germany wins.
Who cares about LGBTQA+ rights and slave work, right?
Death will eventually come, blablabla...
Long live InfantinoGive me your upvotes now!
- decide yourself ffs.oey_oey
- Go change the world by not watching it and still checking out the results which indirectly still means you are watching it.milfhunter
- And who cares about LGBTQA+ in an islamic state?milfhunter
- now seriously, who wrote about changing the world, how is checking results when some even come first in news websites, is the same as watching...oey_oey
- ...and why wouldn't someone care about human rights no matter where?oey_oey
- Its not about rights but understanding the difference in culture. What we do in the West doesn't mean everyone in the world should do the same right away.milfhunter
- who is into ethnocentrism dude, I come from Portugal and I'm against that shit, what the country where I come from didoey_oey
- but basic human rights have nothing to do with culture...oey_oey
- My point is, you are not doing anything by not watching it. So don't be bothered sharing it.milfhunter
- just because it's a culture to suppress women's rights doesn't mean that's okay.oey_oey
- justifying stuff as cultural is just so fucked up dudeoey_oey
- no man, you are mixing stuff.oey_oey
- whatever, I'll stop here. this is not facebook.oey_oey
- You are looking it only from your own perspective. I'm not implying its the right thing they are doing but its not for us to tell them to act different.milfhunter
- Lol what has Portugal todo with this?milfhunter
- I'm sorry to say but human rights have to with culture. Everything has to do with culture.palimpsest
- You have to come to the conclusion that some cultures are shittier than others.
At some point in your life you have to decide who you gonna be.palimpsest - And that's when you when you tell other people that their culture is shit because it's the same as yours. Because you believe your culture to be better.palimpsest
- And you have you have to own up to that choice. Because in your heart of hearts you believe to be true. Even if you've been conditioned to believe it.palimpsest
- oey_oey I get it, mate. I'm hating myself for following this WC, considering everything around it.Continuity
- If you're a true football fan the pros outweigh the cons. The rest of us are just jumping on the woke bandwagon.palimpsest
- This is one of the few where we all get together though.palimpsest
- I go back on my word to reply to pali, I agree with you to one certain point. you are not wrong. but just because it's someone's culture doesn't mean it's rightoey_oey
- some of these cultural things are institutionalized, look what happens in Iran. women should maybe don't protest because it's their culture?oey_oey
- bull fighting in Spain and Portugal it's a culture but is it right?oey_oey
- I'm not trying to impose my western ideals.oey_oey
- killing people because they don't belong to a norm defined by the most powerful, the privileged, even the majorrithy is wrong or isn't it?oey_oey
- discrimination happens everywhere at different levels. is it right because it's a cultural thing?oey_oey
- Well, I think we're going to have to get used to shitty cultures hosting these events. First Russia, then Qatar. And, inexplicably, Greece wants to do a jointContinuity
- I know of people that say there are no cultural differences just education, respect and love. I'm not into that. I believe there's cultural differences.oey_oey
- ... WC bid with Egypt and Saudi Fucking Arabia.Continuity
- using the culture argument as an excuse to why some things happen and we should not care...come on.oey_oey
- sometimes what we perceive as culture is nothing more than power. Iran was so different. what's happening now is not their culture, it was imposed.oey_oey
- now I'm out, have to fight the mold. have fun guys. and sorry for the extreme sarcasm of my post. peace.oey_oey
- "If you're a true football fan the pros outweigh the cons. " I should have read this before I replied. whatever.oey_oey
- I think we're still on the same page.palimpsest
- I think so, too. None of us is happy that one thing we look forward to every 4 years has been highjacked by corruption and shitty human rights records.Continuity
- For me, it's a bit extra-shitty, too: first time Canada qualifies in 36 years, and it has to be in fucking Qatar, Ugh.Continuity
- We're all smart enough to separate the wheat from the chaff. It's a question of what we decided to feed on.palimpsest
- Continuity4
Good heavens. Argentina just lost to Saudi Fucking Arabia.
- I wonder how much is lost in bets just for this game. I was too busy to put money on Arg.Beeswax
- @Beeswax right, was thinking the same. Imagine you where telling your friends putting your money on the saudismilfhunter

- Still, nothing will beat the humiliating 7-1 ass-kicking that Brazil suffered at home in 2014 against Germany.
Losing by 5-0 in just 29 min!spl33nidoru - Too right. Was in a pub in Düsseldorf for it, the place was going mental.Continuity
- Ha! Never before had I watched a game 3 times. The shock and despair of the Brazilian team was fascinating! They would have walked out if they could.spl33nidoru
- That match was, like, once in a lifetime. I don't think we'll ever see such a thorough and humiliating dismantling of a football power again.Continuity
- That shit was painful to watch live.
What kind of psycho watches it 3 times?palimpsest - Well. I, too, have to admit to having re-watched highlight reels of it more than a couple of times!Continuity
- Highlight reels is alright.
Watching the whole game 3 times is on a whole "nother" level.palimpsest - I work in a narrative field and the drama of this was gold.
That World Cup was one of the best, the most goals scored in a WC, an average of almost 3 per game.spl33nidoru - Yup, the whole tournament was just fantastic. Rivetting stuff. Also, Bastian Schweinsteiger looking like he'd been in a bar room brawl at the end of the final.Continuity
- I was in Buenos Aires when Germany beat Brazil. The Argentines started off ecstatic then slowly became more scared as Germany scored more.Chimp
- I've seen hardcore porn less traumatizing than that game.palimpsest
- Almost convincing me to give it one more go!spl33nidoru

- Still, nothing will beat the humiliating 7-1 ass-kicking that Brazil suffered at home in 2014 against Germany.

I was thinking yesterday what easy money it would be to win $1000, all I had to do was bet $8000 on the surest of sure shots Argentina.
thank god I'm broke :)

Meanwhile, Tunisia v Denmark produced nothing. 0:0

Ok here we go France!
We usually play it too safe in the first few games, hope we can start with a bang this time!
- Aller la rance!palimpsest

Morocco 0:0 Croatia at the half.
Best possible outcome would be a goalless draw, and Canada scoring at least once (if not actually winning) against BE tonight.

- didn't age wellCalderone2000
- Yeah, not so much.Continuity
- spl33nidoru9
- Fantastic; their forward(s) move like Mexicans!!!
: )ideaist - This is a fucked WC so far.
Saudi beat Argentina.
Japan beat Germany.
England actually won something.
My word.Continuity - ^ True! Most worried Quatar not being a foot nation this WC would lack the passion and fever we love, but it's shaping up to be an unexpectedly interesting one.spl33nidoru
- At this point, I highly doubt DE are going to leave their group. Their next match is against ES.Continuity
- As the Guardian helpfully reminds us: 'The result the last time they met, in November 2020? Spain 6-0 Germany.'Continuity
- Spain - Costa Rica in 30 min, let's see how that goesspl33nidoru
- Imagine if CR win or even hold ES to a draw. That would fuck everything up.Continuity
- I'm always rooting for Spain to lose, don't know how they are these days but they were proper dickheads the past few times.spl33nidoru
- For me, it's Italy. Arrogant cunts.Continuity
- I was about to say that the only time I wish for Spain to win is against Italy hahaspl33nidoru
- ^ And there it is! :D Too right!Continuity
- Italy are in Italy right now; LOVE IT!ideaist
- What a second half performance by the Samurai BLUEstoplying
- I am glad, I didn't watch it. I went to the beach instead.SimonFFM

- Imagine Qatar vs Japan in the finalsdrgs
- Qatar have to learn how to play football first.Continuity
- Fantastic; their forward(s) move like Mexicans!!!
- Krassy8
Final: Japan vs Saudi Arabia
- That would be wildContinuity
- Though, I think I'd prefer to see something like Japan v Mexico, or v an African nationContinuity
- I'd put a quid on that!Gardener
- Bless you, Gardener. Taking the bets I never could!Continuity
- Gardener you have to post your bets here before the games!spl33nidoru

Yeah, I don't think we'll be seeing any upsets/surprises here.
Spain 2:0 Costa Rica at 21"
- Jesus. If there's a team at this WC just there to make up the numbers, it's Costa Rica.Continuity
- 7:0Miesfan
- This is really agonising to watch.Continuity
- CR bless them, they're doing the best they can (which is limited), but it's clear they've lost the will to live.Continuity
- spain was luckyBeeswax
- Missed the game, I was joking about Brazil yesterday but it's not fun to see a team lose by so much. Unless it's Italy of course.spl33nidoru
- Also not fun seeing an official needlessly add 8 minutes' extra time on a match like this.Continuity
- And actually, it *was* fun watching Brazil getting curb-stomped like that. They need to have egos put in check every so often.Continuity
- Costa rica were totally curb-stomped. Almost felt sorry for themIanbolton
