GWT: World Cup - Group A (Netherlands and Senegal Advance)

[sansabri]

alright Senegal

 

[Spring in Fialta]

They shouldnt be awarded a WC because they dont have enough citizens? Seems trival what is deemed a cut off? There are greater reasons why they shouldnt hold it.

Yes, I entirely agree. There are obviously greater reasons why they shouldn't have held it.

What point are you trying to make exactly? You're the one who brought up their population numbers. Not me.

 

[TMLeafer]

Qatar may never score. What a stop

You called them an embarrassing squad I'm providing context...

This group is playing out exactly as it was always going to play out, the rubber match between Senegal and Ecuador will decide second place. And Ecuador will probably win it because African sides always break your heart in these types of tournament.

 

[TMLeafer]

Nice goal. We have a big finish folks! Maybe

 

[Panteras]

Finally Qatar get a goal.
Can they tie it?

You’re taking like Ecuador is going to lose to Holand lol

 

[TMLeafer]

Senegal goal! What a run leading up to the goal.

 

[NyQuil]

Who you got?

Well, for one, they managed to score a goal which the 1986 Canadian team failed to do.

Just because you don't like the regime or the FIFA corruption that led to the award of the Cup doesn't mean you have to turn your brain off when watching the actual matches.

Yeah great job by the winger. He did everything for that goal.

On the other hand, Canada only gave up one goal to 3rd Place France

 

[N o o d l e s]

At least Qatar won’t go 0-3 with 0 goals scored now lmao

And I think we hit a post or something IIRC.

My worry is that we'll look back on the Belgium match the way we do the French match.

Unless that match is played in the high altitude of Quito, yes?

LOL, interesting.

After soaking up the French pressure, Canada launched its own attack. They pinned France back in its half of the field and came close to scoring on several occasions. To this day, Canadian soccer fans still talk about how Ian Bridge hit the goal post with a header that could have given Canada a shocking lead.

But according to Lenarduzzi, Bridge's header didn't even glance the post.

"Ian headed it and from the television angle it looked like it hit the post, but it actually hit the field board behind the goal. It really looked deceiving because when we came back everybody said we hit the post, and we didn't."

I guess my 8 year old self was wrong. A myth cleared up almost 40 years later.

I won't be shocked if that game has a winner, but I expect a draw.

I was -6 in 1986. I said it was the worst team that I've ever seen.

Just because you don't like the comment/poster doesn't mean you have to turn your brain off when you read.

De ligt dropped dont blame them

It makes sense to surround VVD with two speedy CBs. I think Plata is going to tear up that Blind/Ake side though.

 

[NyQuil]

Great strike!

Good to get the match going early.

 

[Brunkmeister]

Big Guns should have gone all in on Gakpo in the summer. It’s not gonna be cheap.

 

[sansabri]

boo netherlands

I know United were very close to signing him. It was the same reasons as Timber why they didn’t/couldn’t get the deal over the line. LvG being petty.

 

[TMLeafer]

Lol they tried showing the speed and spin rate of the ball on the goal. And the graphic says 0 spin rate, 0 km/h

He's the better of the two (potential wise) but tbh the way United acted and Ten hag glad he didnt go.
