World Cup 2022

[perdue3]

Off to a fun start with a lot of goals, thus far. Very disappointed in the US failing to grab 3 points off Wales. We were clearly the better side and should have scored no less than 3 goals in the first half. Zimmerman with an absolute bonehead challenge in the box on Bale. There was no need to even challenge there, back to the goal was Bale. I still think a point or even three is possible against England.

Lots of good matchups upcoming throughout the week. Germany Japan should be a good one.

Any crazy predictions?

Soccer is way too active for the average American...

We need time for breaks between plays and pitches to catch our breath

A shock result for Saudi Arabia today. That's what I always enjoy, anyone can beat anyone on the day.

It was wild. I could not watch it as it was at 4:30 AM here. But, was shocked looking at 2-1 in the 92' when I did wake up. I figured Mexico-Poland would be good and it did not disappoint, Ochoa saving a PK from Lewandowski is a big deal, well done. France cruised to 3 points, as expected.

I am excited to watch the Germany-Japan match tomorrow and Spain-Costa Rica.

I've watched most games so far.  France is the best team I've seen so far.  Fast and dangerous with headers around the goal.

They certainly are. pacey on the edges with Griezmann and Mbappe, with the towering Giroud in the middle. Such a difficult team to break down, too, with the likes of Pavard, Kimpembe, Saliba, Upamecano, Konate, Hernandez, and the list goes on. In the midfield, they are a little lacking with Ngolo Kante out, but still with Rabiot. The crazy thing is, their bench could also beat most countries.

Yet another shock result Germany 1-Japan 2

Yep. Germany took their foot off the gas a bit and allowed Japan way too much possession in the second half. That will be a tough group to get out of now. Spain look in the mood.
