It's win and in if they draw
yeah but its only not win and in if wales beats england so i mean..
What the fuck was that
Shite
US so much wasted shots
yeah they really wasted their shots LMFAO
Iran could actually qualify ya know
Iran vs usa to qualify for the knockouts
fucking hell
lets go socceroos
Aussie limbs were wild
Who getting gaped now?
Saudi
France is washed up can't even gap denmark
Need them to so we can just tie Denmark to get through
any predictions for arg mex
Mex 2-1
Bold but respectable
1-0 arg
the much more sensible prediction
The amount of people I’ve seen praying on Messi’s downfall is wild lol
I picked Argentina for cod voting
But want Argentina to lose
So I’m conflicted 
Let’s just say England and Argentina aren’t in best terms 
I feel like you could make that a mad libs and it would always work
England and ______ aren’t in best terms
true
Are they still arguing over the Falklands? That was so 20 years ago
Think so
Argentina ain’t happy still
Uk kinda just ignores them by the seems
I personally can’t stand the messi narrative though
All I hear is winning the World Cup his 1000th game and shit
Like holy fuck I don’t care 😭
Idc about that but he is indisputably one of the best players to play football and even though he’s likely past his prime seeing him win a wc in general would be historic
I’m all about anything historic happening. France winning is just boring
Alright lets fight
argentina doubling the poss% of mexico but only having 1 shot to mexico's 3 is a bit 
lemme see them out of the box cracks. fuck it just take a chance
aight now just 2 Mexico goals and I'm prediction god
lmfao
also what is this take lol
how is it undeserved. he placed it bottom corner pretty well
i'd understand if it were like someone drew a pen and then messi took the pen but this seemed pretty cut and dry: just superb placement with good power. 2 touches outside the box and the defender wasnt near enough to close him down 
Its undeserved because argentina have been dreadful?
they dont deserve a goal

good goal
but doesnt mean argentina deserve the lead
havent played like it at all
but I guess that's what messi gives you
bails out a shit performance
something mexico don't have
i think we literally all knew that was going to be the case. thats why i prefaced argentina's involvement in the world cup as "Messi and friends"
Yeah like overall I'm not taking anything away from the ACTUAL GOAL
Just feels a bit rough for mexico as there isn't a lot they can do about something like that and they have defended fairly okay
But atleast livens up the game
if you're not closing down messi for 90 straight minutes, are you really defending okay
I mean there's a reason everyone was shitting on him at half time 
half time was crucial for them by the seems though
But yeah this is grim
gol gol gol
went for a low block and paid the price when they conceded
ye the game itself wasnt a firecracker but the two goals were really top class

@silver creek Dragonflight launch and Australia vs Denmark for a spot in the playoffs, Dec 1st going to be wild

Denmark is washed up
🦘
And my birthday 
Maybe copium but I think a draw with Denmark is extremely possible

What do you wish for
Aus world champs 
Yeah not gonna happen sorry
I hope we make it out of groups and you don’t 
Probably gonna happen
germany could maybe beat spain
I don’t think so tbh
Go Japan

DAMN JAPAN
i dont really get why dead/wasted time prior to 90 minutes gets tacked on at the end, but then seemingly wasting time during the extra time just amounts to nothing and is fine
Only good teams this tourney is Brazil & France
factos
If Finland made it they prob would’ve beat Spain
1:07 goal
That’s a common misconception because it is not announced or displayed for the viewers. However, any delay of game that occurs during stoppage time will usually amount to even more stoppage time that is not represented by the original amount. So say players play the full 90 and it is announced that there will be 4 minutes of stoppage time. If multiple fouls or substitutions occur within those 4 minutes, the referee can keep the game going to roughly approximate that extra time and tack it on top of the original planned 4 minutes.
This is why it’s not uncommon to see the game play out to 95 or 96 minutes even when the stoppage time was only 4 (in that hypothetical)
ok well in teh japan game there was 6 minutes of stoppage time with a good 100 seconds wasted and then it was stopped at like 96:05
costa rica even used a sub to have someone slowly walk off the field as time was ticking and still 96:05
Its unfortunately at the discretion of the referee in particular
It’s one of those rules that is quite muddied with no definitive answer beyond the referee is the sole decider of when games end so long as the game has met the minimum 90+initial stoppage.
If a team has tempo and is building play despite being at the end of stoppage time, the referee can still choose to allow play to go on and give that team one final chance at a goal. It’s all discretionary.
It’s similar to baseball in the sense that the umpire has dictator-like standing on the field. If he decides that a ball is a strike when it wasn’t, it can’t be argued. If the ref in the World Cup decides to cut play short ignoring the wasted time during stoppage time, it can’t be argued. Officiating is unfortunate sometimes.
1-1!
exciting group
another really strange thing with this was one game (i forgot which) the attacking team had a throw in like roughly level with the penalty box in terms of distance from goal
and then they just stopped the game which my understanding was like... they should stop it when the ball is neutral
but maybe at the high level a throw in from that spot isn't even considered a threat
yeah i think the dictator level power of ref/umpires is very antiquated and shouldn't be a thing but thats probably the most luke warm take of all time
Happens a lot tbf
Pretty sure it is based on if it’s a possible opportunity to score a goal
But I don’t know the exact ruling
ye to my noob eye that wouldve been an opportunity was my point i guess
i dont think i understood the set up you were explaining, but if blood understood it and answered you then great
Draw is better for Serbia than Cameroon
Serbia hasn't played Switzerland Cameroon hasn't played Brazil
any good games to watch today?
Both upcoming ones
the comeback

omg
@rose stone you should have been watching previous and current game
I woke up too late
@silk cloak
I saw some of the sk ghana game after half time insane they came back from 0-2
Any gamba on Croatia beating Belgium?
portugal gets another free penal 
@scenic umbra big day for group B 
The Sheep shaggers vs the brexiteers
and
The middle east vs the US
Some spicy ones
US has to go hard today to make it out of groups, otherwise it’s game over for them.
What would be interesting though is if Iran holds US to a draw and Wales somehow beats England, because then England, Iran, and Wales would all share 4 points. The main tie break for group stage is goal difference. Since Iran and wales are currently tied for a GD of -2, Wales would come out on top ahead of Iran by beating England and increasing their GD whereas in this situation Iran would be the same at -2 because draw with US.
Good news for you is that england is through no matter what, although I imagine you’re hoping for 1B as opposed to 2B
Endgland need to lose by 4 goals so were fine
Not a chance wales scores even 2
yea thats what i meant about england going through no matter what
barring some impossible performance from wales, anyway
much more realistic is england wins and either us draws (iran advances) or us wins (us advances)
they're not bad at all. odds arent on their side, but we've seen teams beat the odds already in group stage
since this game decides who goes on, i think both teams are gonna play their hearts out
quite excited for an hour from now
so close
i think it would be really fun and great to play 80 minutes of attacking football and then start giving up free kicks. hell lets give up a pen like last time
REAAMMMMMM
stop
stop no
man that was a fuckin scrappy game
Iran played so well
US plays Netherlands? Aren't the Dutch washed like most of Europe soccer
well they beat Senegal who is doing quite well, tied with Ecuador who played a really good game that day, and smashed Qatar. they are by no means a walkover. the reason the US was able to get through groups is because they play good attacking football, but they struggle to convert chances. Netherlands with Halland is not going to have that same issue.
idk what the official odds are, but I'd wager its in NL's favor
the google stats page puts NL win at 51%, a draw at 28%, and a US win at 21%
HAALAND HAALAND HAAALAND HAAAAALAND
LETS GO SOCCEROOS
They just need a draw to advance right
or we might just win

which is good cuz Tunisia is beating France lmao
To think if we drew with Denmark Tunisia would’ve been through
What a wild group
Based
So basically just Australia > Europe
Woah
France just got lucky
Actually we beat Tunisia and Tunisia beat France
So yeah
Australia > Europe
Still a chance 
But tbf they don’t deserve to get out of groups so whatever
We too good
Ez game, Argentina next
ez win
Get your ass ready kangaroo lovers
I know that feeling 
damn canada is about to pull a qatar
There's a joke here somewhere 
oh hey canada got one back
now its a game baby
actually wait isnt canada out regardless if they win
oh yea they're done for sure. croatia and morocco already have 4 points in groups
REEEEE
lukaku man
one of my colleagues is 10 seconds ahead and he likes to scream

GG
What a dreadful performance from Belgium
As a fan of a lot of belgium players
thats rough
hazard, KDB, Courtois etc
they played really good last 20 minutes but lukaku is a just a big fumble
Tbf you havent got great forwards
Lukaku or batshuayi
theyre the only out and out's you have
yeah big rip
They can still make it out

Or if you win and Spain wins
Ok we going full copium now boys
so how does germany make it out of groups? they have to win against CR and if Japan ties Spain then Germany has to go up by 2 goals
good luck with your copium sir
Ye but if Spain wins it’s just win and you’re through
true enough
We almost didn’t make it out cuz Tunisia beat France at this point I think just about anything can happen lol
It’s not even that unlikely
If we win we can make it
Right now we good
@half silo in shambles
BEST OF TIMELINES
wait what is the lore here
both of these games are going on at the same time and if both germany and japan both win then it comes down to who wins by more?
this is up to date right
yes that is before the current game
oh ok nvm i saw a wrong graphic or misread it at a glance
Bro
I cheer for Costa Rica now
this is too insane
Spain and Germany out would be hilarious
so theres no match fixing
oh like spain potentially losing on purpose to guarantee gerrmany out? or that kind of thing
the group winner has to go vs the second place in a different group*
Yeah this and deciding which place you go in groups
so imagine if second place from diff group is a super good team then you might want to lose
ok yeye makes sense
Like Spain said they don’t give it all bc they don’t want to face the second place
and now its biting them hard in the ass
And if they go second they play marocco
Who they play if they go first
Croatia i think
Ah fair
Which is arguably harder than marocco
Same


wait are u saying like its preset that group e 1/2 play group f 1/2
and not like a random seeding afterwards
yes

its all determined beforehand
ye ok these matches like need to be at the same time then lmao
excited to watch USA vs AUS on the 9th
Same
Also England vs France potential


CRAZIEST group ever
as long as anime wins
japan really showing what happens when you have the power of god and anime on your side
cant believe that soccer anime is based on a true story
How good
these games are so much more fun with high stakes
seems like u can tell the players are more desperate/frantic vs the earlier in the group stages games i was watching
you should watch the games after groupphase 
shit gets crazy then
esp penalties
theres a reason why worldcup is most watched event in the world
Having both at the same time is so wild as well
Germany is winning again noooooooo
All for nothing if Spain loses
Huge defence there from Japan
cmon japan
Oh Germany only needs a draw
+7
oh
What even is this world cup
An absolute banger
Like me on ur mum
Ya
Well it’s gone
Would’ve wished that Spain would’ve gone out too
Now I’m cheering for the socceroos
Spain but without the s
We clap Argentina ez
if you can score goals like the last one yall did, then yes you will
that last socceroo goal was something magical
It really was
The one against France was pretty banger too
Shame about the 4 France scored

Did japan do some blue lock shit under the radar?
Definitly
that was crazy ending
Fucking Portugal defense smh
We have the best players in the world
And struggle against bad teams lol
Or maybe they wanted to fuck uruguay since they eliminated us in 2018
Wait who are the Best players in the world

Ghana is gone.. ah?
Uuuh clearly ronaldo and

Cancelo is good 
Best in the world tho idk
Had a poor start to the season
Constantly at fault for city goals
What are you cancelling
You. You’re canceled. Sorry not sorry.
holy fuck why does discord keep changing the font every 3 months
Netherlands is surely gonna lose to murica 
damn what a wasted chance
Can't wait to watch US fail a corner
The hell was that 
Also wait the Dutch keeper is 6ft 8? 
damn I guess we're playing Netherlands in quarters
Well rip US
I’m thinking 3-0 at this point
Like no cap
That might be the best goal ever scored
It’s unbelivable

You’re actually a jinx
Tuesday
Good maybe I'll turn that on
Turn on the next game please
Support Argentina
We need all the support aus can get
Argentina will win for sure
@undone shuttle rip NA

@rustic horizon thoughts
the us broadcast loves to talk about how much players contract values are going up after this tournament lmao
Tbh US won't win a world cup in any of our life times but God would it be nice to see them get to a place where getting out of group place just isn't good enough any more
Like that's been their same goal for ever just make it out of group play
But pulisic ain't it 
Was always gonna be a major upset for the us to advance to QF
Not disappointed because I didn’t expect it in the first place


@silver creek at least we made it to t16
Shit sport anyway
Pretty happy to be in the 16
Exactly
And 2-1 is respectable
Bellingham is insane
What a baller
YOOO???
Gotta go through France now tho
Japan Croatia 
surely Croatia can't beat the Anime
It's 1-1
this game
ye its tight
the powers of god and anime extend only to the group stage. in knockouts, the only god on the pitch is Mbappe
Maybe Croatia won't lose to anime right?
... right?

some absolute nice saves by both keepers
first pens of the world cup calling it now
idk man I'd be scared of some anime shenanigans in pens
They all look so exhausted
this game is just insane
high level football can really boil down to attrition
learning how to play exhausted and not give up mistakes is a skill in of itself
thats fatigue factor for sure
penalties it is
id be happy with either team going on, maybe a sliiiight edge to japan because i fuck with minamino
Pens here we come
Must have written penalties as cause of death in the deathnote
just seeing minamino get to Q's would be pretty cool for him
i really like this ref btw
i think the officiating has been pretty damn good tbh
some mistakes, but overall not bad through groups
Here we go lads
lets go minamino

sink this, homie
fuck

poor minamino

that's so heartbreaking man
Well well
fugma
Nice jinx
shut up

this keeper is going wild
3 from 3?
Croatia keeper is something else
Fuck was that
that was the upright xd
Lol this guy
Unreal
Croatian gk actually insane
this man is putting the team on his crvitianovicicicianovic back

that keeper just got them to Q's
bro the amount of asdfnasvic to adsnnvic
insanity
so many vic's
vic and sic and tic
yeah but a japan win would've been even better
rip korea
brutal
Asian men get brutally fucked by 11 Latinos for 90 minutes

how many we think Brazil scores in 2nd half
they gonna slow down just like germany did against them
I was thinking they'd go for the 8-0
To get rid of the pain?
Yeah fair enough
then whenever they have PTSD they can go well at least it wasn't 8-0
ye wtf happened in Germany
playing American football instead apparently
next time kane sees heung min son hes gonna give him the fuckin forehead L fortnite dance
wtf is going on
WHAT ARE THESE PENS
espanyol dog
WTF

nice
Im guessing spain lost?
Dad and brother shaking the whole building with their cheers

Yeah missed every pen
After enrique made them take 1000 pens each

Was about time
Ronaldo is benched
After all these games
We can finally attack without having to play for hin
Him
ok is there any reason for portugal to run it up now that we are in bracket
What do you mean by that exactly
Like play aggressive?
continue to try to score more goals/ play their better players

Yes
Ronaldo bench
We actually have a decent striker
And we can actually play as 11
Now Ronaldo is on we will barely attack
cant wait to see brazil somehow not choke this time
Brazil Croatia going to PKs? 
People underrating croatia tbh
Gvardiol, modric, kovacic, perisic etc
som solid players
Thats gonna be a harsh pen
but surely gotta be a pen
Good call imo

Brazil not gonna choke? will it happen?
SIUUUUUUUUUUUU

Crazy extra time phase
I did call it happening
Time for Croatia GK to pop off
Pop off more?

He can’t be stopped
Any brazilians?

LIJEPA LI SI! LIJEPA LI SI!
VIVA LE PEYMAR
SEND THEM HOME
🇧🇷
Good pens for once
Sambaaaaaaaaaa





Now all we need is argentina to lose
POST AJHAHAHAHAA

Mbappe getting pocketed by walker
Nah nah nah
Morocco to win World Cup
Did u guys know
Portugal striker Gonçalo ramps
Had a naked video leaked

Just right after the game
Surely croatia gk gets mvp
And not modric because of the name
Like most mvps
In this world cup
Marquinhos mvp for hitting post
Croatia got that knockout game juju
They are proper scary in pens man
man is a fuckin menace
we've learned, if nothing else, dont take croatia to pens
the gk will be god's bravest champion
truly built different
all the demons when i was playing club soccer growing up were croatian
so this was the obvious outcome
Netherlands controlling this game

My god
these Argentinians are insufferable
Why was weghorst booked?
Alvarez kicks de jong and netherlands gets booked?
yeah these Argentinians are insufferable. right Loik?
I thought he was brazilian
yes
How is that not a red?
He's booked already no?
Late tackle and boots ball at bench
and its a yellow?
Honest to god
argentina cheating
and getting away with it
scummy fucks
Disgusting
This refa carrying messis balls in his mouth
Literally
Guy went from reffing chelsea vs city and having an incredible game
to this shit

It’s a shame cuz most of the games have been reffed really well
Like honestly
how is paredes not sent off
Blows my mind
Argentina still probably win but god man its so blatant
Yeah
Doesnt help the narrative of messi to win his last world cup too
just comes off really monkaW
Thats some fifa typa shit
SEND THEM HOME
PLEASE
FUACKNASIOPGFBABIOE BABOONS

really good reffing
+1
A fucking burnley striker

Yes fucking way
if this goes to PKS
Bruh
Fuck the dutch
Only a German would say that

Bar here just exploded
If Argentina wins I'm going to beat my wife

Jk
By any chance
is dabbi called my wife?
no, that'd be Sikte
if Argentina wins, Aco is going to beat Sikte
Sikte is called my wife dabbi is called get a life
Argentina PKs or Sikte is fake Sauna
Bruh wtf is this shit
If he got sent off for that
lmfao
watching this back
Wout Weghorst! Netherlands' hero 🦸♂️
Unreal 🔥
#BBCFootball #BBCWorldCup
105
what a routine
am I about to be 2/2 on PK predictions?
He’d never be safe to visit South America
Oof that was nearly a banger
PKs again? 

holy fuck I am psychic
ffs
God i hope messi gets a pulled hamstring
ugly, short and cocky
three bad attributes

sounds like you're talking about the South American Sikte
this isn't good for my fantasy
acutally mental argentina get a chance to win the game
when they shouldve had two sent off

I'm happy if netherlands loses, maybe people will freak out about the world cup less
"NETHERLANDS HAVE PLAYED IN MORE FINALS THAN ANY NATION BUT HAVE NEVER WON"

Bye
What are you thinking about cutie
Shame cuz precious slapped
And shock result in the France - England game they both lose
im secretly hoping for an arg v por finals
just so everyone can shut the fuck up and we can see messi v ronaldo one last time in our lifetimes
im secretly hoping for england vs argentina
and argentina to lose
and it comes home
never that
mostly cause i have a bet on that
bad bet
england is the king of choking
Croatia wins on pens to win the World Cup and then their GK gets a blowjob on the pitch
@rustic horizon thoughts
i mean if croatia has any chance of winning the cup from what weve seen its in pens
that gk is an absolute behemoth on the line
alternatively to arg por finals, id be potentially even happier with croatia morocco finals. destroy everyone's bets. filthy gamblers.
That's like the worst thing that could happen
why
You want everyone to shut up about the conversation but all you'll get is debate at an even higher level 
yes
Best scenario is both argentina and portugal bomb out
no
dog you just spent the past 2 hours talking shit about messi lmao

@silver creek live footage of the croatian gk prepping for his next game https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99TcUh1Yr98
My goalkeeper cat Indy trained really hard for the 2022 World Cup. And he prepared a video resume with all of his incredible and impossible saves! But despite all those amazing goalkeeper saves, he still got snubbed from the World Cup! And you'll see why in the video..
Indy has always been a talented, acrobatic goalkeeper. Here are his previous...
