Already deciding it wasn't worth it

Over all the opening ceremony was better than I thought it will be.
 
And Qatar fucked up a good chance at the end of the first half to cut into Ecuador's lead.
He was offside


Really obvious but the Qatari goalkeeper is utterly useless, EFL League Two level at best.
Kinda hard to get good goalkeeping in a country that tiny and inbred


idk, I was high on France coming into the tournament but in the last 5 days they've lost Benzema and Nkunku which I think really hurts their attack. There's no way Griezmann has 90 minutes in his legs but I reckon he'll be starting along with Mbappe and Giroud, who is actually in good form atm to give him credit.

Then you have the midfield which just isn't as good as it was 4 years ago when Pogba and Kante were at the top of their game. Maybe the kids from Madrid will step up but those are big shoes to fill. They're still solid defensively but I don't think they'll stick around for long in the knockout stages.
I don't think they are anywhere near as good as 2 years ago but with Giroud up front allowing for Mbappe to play his favorite position down the left and then Dembele on the right with Griezmann and whoever means they will be really dangerous. Nkuku injury hurts more in this situation imo



If anyone is looking to watch the England game, avoid the first few minutes and watch in a language you don't speak. They are doing the gay little kneeling before kick off thing again
 
The amount of people not knowing what a fucking offside is is killing me.
masterclass by the Qatari keeper, if he remained in goal then Valencia would've been onside, by fucking up he didn't become the last man and inadvertently offside trapped him instead.

they spent how many years and billions planning this shit? they could've imported and nationalized a bunch of decent players instead; the French have spent the last decade importing Ngubus from colonies and now Spanish government is granting citizenship to foreigners solely so they can become eligible for their national team.
 
Had a few people that thought Qatar could do decently well since they somehow won the Asian Cup but after that performance I'd say they'd be lucky to get 3rd. Netherlands could easily put 4 past them if they're on good form.

Its their first time trying to import and nationalize players. Plus they don't have any colonies yet, so its hard to know where to pick them from. Its a long road before Qatar is dominating on the world stage but they are close to doing it
 
6 million workers died in Qatar, not to mention the lack of respect for women and gays. Do you think I'm going to watch this World Cup?

Yes. Yes, I will.
 
Wow, England (and the rest) are even more pathetic than I thought they were. This might be a bit of a turning point for all the virtue signalling; even the types that normally support it seem to be starting to see how hollow it all is.
