World Cup 2022 Morocco v Croatia, Germany v Japan, Spain v Costa Rica, Belgium v Canada - Wednesday 23rd

[venturablue]

Morata is mince

Classic

 

[jones65]

Total mauling this. Ref should put them out of their misery.

 

[biggee]

Fck sake

We've all done it. Fwiw I agree.

 

[Rt. Hon. Bearman]

Assuming Japan beat a woeful Costa Rica, Spain beat Germany.

That’s Germany out, isn’t it?

Yes.

Even a draw against Spain would leave the table looking like this after two games, provided Japan beat Costa Rica.

1 Japan 6 points
2 Spain 4 points
3 Germany 1 point
4 Costa Rica 0 points

Final round of fixtures are Germany v Costa Rica and Japan v Spain.

A draw for Spain in their final match would be enough to eliminate Germany.

To keep their destiny in their own hands, Germany need to beat Spain (if Japan beat Costa Rica).

 

[WinkieWATP]

How was that not a booking? Refs doing my tits in here

 

[devilman]

That's quite a scudding Spain have dished out.

 

[SpandauBear]

The Spaniards seem extremely well drilled and organised. Understanding between the players looks brilliant. Big favourites for the WC after today's showing imo.

 

[Madjid Moments]

Spain are pretty good at football

 

[TheHammerJorgAlbertz11]

If Spain score another they will match there goal total from when they won the world cup in 2010.

 

[strathavenbear]

If we get this amount of added time in the Spl, we'll be lucky to get out of Ibrox before 11pm at a midweek game.

 

[Hillheadbear]

Total mauling this. Ref should put them out of their misery.

Problem is that goal difference might matter

 

[Blues and Royals]

Awww well lads, the “England the best at the tournament so far” was nice while it lasted eh

You are obsessed with England.

 

[WinkieWATP]

How was that not a booking? Refs doing my tits in here

Good lad that ref.

 

[dcbear]

Completed pass stat must be like Spain - 900, Costa Rica - 3

 

[WinkieWATP]

Southgate should be watching Gavi thinking and thinking Foden could do that for me.

That he hums and haws about even starting him every game is bizarre.

 

[Hillheadbear]

Completed pass stat must be like Spain - 900, Costa Rica - 3

Spain 1043 passes, 93% accuracy
Costa Rica 231 passes, 71% accuracy

 

[weeneebs]

The lad Gavi is some player, excellent finish for his goal too

 

[StaunchEnclosure]

David Wotherspoon and Liam Miller on the bench for Canada? Is that the guys I think it is!?

 

[ForzaRenfrew]

Cannot believe they are still going on about the armbands.

 

[Turd Ferguson]

Is that Pat Nevin gibbering on?

 

[Jim Prideaux]

David Wotherspoon and Liam Miller on the bench for Canada? Is that the guys I think it is!?

Aye, St Johnstone (Wotherspoon) and ex Killie (Miller)

 

[StaunchEnclosure]

Aye, St Johnstone (Wotherspoon) and ex Killie (Miller)

Pretty staggering how many international players from the SPFL are at the World Cup and we only have 1 who is likely to never see game time

 

[venturablue]

Really hoping for a strong Belgium and Brazilian tournament.

 

[Jelle1880]

I'm not confident for Belgium. Hazard is absolutely done and he makes him captain?

 

[Jim Prideaux]

Surely to Christ Vertonghen & Alderweireld aren’t the two best centre backs they can offer? Faes should be playing IMO.

 

[Beer Belly Loyal]

Whatever became of this wee snotter?

 

[WinkieWATP]

David Wotherspoon and Liam Miller on the bench for Canada? Is that the guys I think it is!?

The St Johnstone player then yes?

 

[dcbear]

Surely to Christ Vertonghen & Alderweireld aren’t the two best centre backs they can offer? Faes should be playing IMO.

At least they dont start Dedryck Boyata anymore.

 

[Pirlo]

You are obsessed with England.

Not only are you obsessed with England, you’re obsessed with me.

 

[TamS-RFC]

Quite the story for the Canada coach.

In aboot them, friends!

 

[Clicker]

Canadians are just watered-down Americans.

 

[China Bear]

Mon the Canada - get intae Plastic Bertrand and his mates

 

[Jim Prideaux]

Ferdinand is brutal.

 

[Jim Prideaux]

Hutchinson is a cheating bastard.

I’m still bitter about 2011

 

[SDF]

Aye, Kevin De Bruyne is really good, even when he was a kid. You don't need to show us the same fúcking footage of his early career every single tournament.

 

[Jim Prideaux]

The Abercrombie & Fitch hoodie on KDB was very trendy at the time!

 

[Carlton The Bear]

Canadians are just watered-down Americans.

Say that in the flesh to a Canadian

 

[iaatpies]

Did the Canadians just go off script and sing the old version of their national anthem?

I'm sure I heard

True patriot love
In all thy sons command.

 

[prenzlauerbear]

The same ref who blew a few minutes early in the AFCON

FFS. Talk about failing upwards...

 

[Shawlands_Bluenose]

Seems like most of the Belgian team has been around forever

 

[WinkieWATP]

No way, it’s the ref that blew early twice at the Afcon

 

[TheHammerJorgAlbertz11]

That's a very decent front 3 for Canada.

 

[ForzaRenfrew]

Embarrassing how empty the stadiums are.

 

[venturablue]

Embarrassing how empty the stadiums are.

Ridiculous. Sooo many empty seats every game.

 

[Iain04]

Belgium's 'golden' generation has really failed to live up to it's expectations

 

[julian candy]

Retiring your username if you lose to the moose fcukers? @Jelle1880

 

[randomhero]

Potential pen for Canada

 

[Kirbys House]

Potential penalty for Canada...

 

[Iain04]

Pen to Canada?

 

[sonofbunk]

Pen for me
