By Perfect Blue Go To PostThis Gvardiol lad is supposed to be world class? Looks good and all but I don’t get it.Supposedly not been as good this season as last as well as being a bit injured
By n8 dogg Go To PostWhat are you going to be able to tell in an international match?Genuine question tbh, I’ve never seen him play before now.
KDB and van Dijk have looked shit too. Harry Maguire’s been the best centre back at the tournament. The world is upside down.
By Perfect Blue Go To PostGenuine question tbh, I’ve never seen him play before now.I don't think he's supposed to be world class. It's more that he's 20 and playing at a high level so maybe in a few years he will be
By bone Go To PostIt's irrelevant. You claimed the group stage has always sucked and we're being elitist, I presented evidence from U.S. '94 that it didn't. Almost every single game from every WC from 1974 to 2018 is on FIFA.com. Age as an excuse for ignorance of the game is bullshit. An entire era existed when the national game was superior to the club game. Either provide a proper retort or don't bother replying.Very unnecessary and overly punchy response, kudos for the research. I can't and won't speak on eras I wasn't alive for. This is a Forum for exchange of opinions, if you can't respond in a measured or respectful way or to opinions of others don't bother responding.

I thought 98, 2018 were very enjoyable
Hated 2002,games at like 8am and shit.
2010 was Spain passing their opponents and thr audiences it to a coma.
So far, this world Cup has been middle FF tee Road. Enjoying the upsets and of course VAR is interfering a lot more.
Group stage games will always be hit and miss, some teams might burst on to the scene and slowly fade ala KSA and others might take time to feel their way ala Brazil. This can and often takes the sting out of many encounters.
Belgium reduced to being a trash tier competitor. They made Canada look good.
Hoping for a 7-1 thrashing of Germany. They have been dispicable in their WC coverage and deserve a fat spanking.

Not been great compared to recent group stages, but it's been a nice distraction.
And it's the World Cup, the stakes and commitment make it interesting even when the football is nowhere near as good as it is at the top level of the domestic game.
Just largely taking the monetary reward and transfer bullshit out of the equation for the players draws me in.

Germany is a bunch of good players with terrible form. Most players form has been abysmal in their respective teams for the last few weeks.
By Perfect Blue Go To PostCan’t be arsed to watch this match, too much footballAh, the post-knockout blues. We know it well brother.

By Punished Go To PostDanny, big fan and all but I don't know about the slicked back hair.He's a real piece of shit. White shirt, slicked backed hair, sloppy steaks.
Pedri's touch, movement, passing, decision making
ridiculous
Give him the balloon for 2023 already imo
