Arena The *Official* 2022 FIFA World Cup Thread

I feel bad for Iran's goalkeeper. He was doing fine till injured, and now the new keeper implodes. They both probably feel terrible

 

Probably, but I don't think Lev Yashin himself could've stopped that Saka goal. That was nuts.

 

Joe Lycett has revealed that he didn't really shred the cash.

 

Ugh. A concession and potential concussion for Maguire.

 

Question: Why is Harry Kane not being provided any service?

Answer: Harry Kane is the service.

Lovely goal by Rashford (his first touch in the game, too).

 

WTF?

Harry Maguire gets rugby tackled to the ground and there's no reaction whatsoever, and the lightest pull on a shirt gets a penalty??

VAR is a ****ing inconsistent mess.

 

What's up with the Dutch kit? It's the wrong shade of orange...

 

Was that England Iran game one of the longest ever? I know the goalie Injury but still

6-2 England

 

It seemed like it. However I think games where they go to extra time and then penalties are longer.

 

Go Senegal!

 

Denmark v Finland in the last Euros was longer.

 

this is a crap game, they don't seem to have any strategies.

 

Aye, not that worried about 2nd round (assuming we get there)

 

Yeah, I'm falling asleep here..

 

"I can't believe a match between a side managed by Aliou Cissé and a side managed by Louis van Gaal is boring," he said, lying.

Although at least Senegal have the excuse of missing their star striker.

 

I don't think the relentless drumming is helping either.

 

Louis van Gaal is a legend. He may yet have something up his sleeve.

 

Better than a vuvuzela

 

Yeah - one of the ITV crew brought that up during the first half..

 

Yes, and it'll be 20 minutes of 0-1 when that plan executes successfully.

 

6 minutes

 

Maybe that [penis] punch Frenkie de Jong did will give us 14 minutes of added time!

 

At least someone has scored - Netherlands lead 1-0.

 

Oh, good, it's only 15 minutes of 0-1.
