Re: World cup
I can’t believe that the Canadian soccer team is considered “good”. SMH.
Hockey, world dominance or at least outstanding. But soccer? Canada? Geez. I gotta see this.

Re: World cup
The government in Qutar band alcohol sales at the last minuet for all games in the country. You can bet that went over well.
Budwiser posted a picture of a warehouse full of cases of world cup beer cans that can't be distributed.
They announced that what ever country wins the WC will be given all of the beer that couldn't be sold.Synology 1019D+ - SGC Sonictransporter I9 w Roon/HQ Player- UltraRendu- PBD Stream IF to Playback Designs MPS5 via fiber optic - ARC 40th Anniversary Pre - ARC 610 T's - Martin Logan CLX's - 4 Martin Logan Depth i Subs - Shunyata Hydra, DIY PCOCC interconnects, speaker cables and power cords with Furutech terminations.

Re: World cup
World Cup in November, without Budweiser, and everything else in and out.
May the best team win and everyone happy. Without fighting, without mass hysteria, without scandals, without corruption, without money goals, without chaos.
...In the name of the sport in all its purity and true spirit of sportsmanship.
Lol, I wish.
If we all are watching the same news we all know how insane things are behind the curtains.~ Bob ~

Re: World cup
a] Strange way that the groups are setup. like England, Wales & USA in the same group.
b] Crowd noise on US TV makes the game unlistenable.

Re: World cup
i was surprised how good the canadians were against the famous belgians. at least as good.
usa played very well too in game 1 against wales. first half was fresh direct fast soccer, second half they were a bit out of power. game 2 against worldclass england, wow, they fighted them very well as a team, england didnt know what to do. i think they will qualify for next round.
thumbs up for the saudis and japan for theyr incredible victories. so nice to watch.

Re: World cup
my country got hammered brutally by portugal, 1-6, no chance at all.

Will anyone actually score a goal against Morocco? Still only that one own goal keeping them from all clean sheets.

Re: World cup
Good matches today.
Morocco has done amazing. But my prediction is France vs Argentina in the final.

Re: World cup
Yesterday's Netherlands-Argentina match was an instant classic. Today's France- England match was a lot of fun to watch. It had a bit of everything and could have ended in OT just like the Netherlands on a last second free kick but it just missed. Great soccer.
After watching England today I have no idea how he US played the even in the group stage. They had pressure on France all match.Jim

Re: World cup
I have peace that the Netherlands are out (not good enough this tournement), but have to say the referee was not great, Messi got away with anything (handsball, etc.), one of the Argentinians kicked the ball with full power on purpose in the Dutch dugout without even a yellow card.

My son in law is Moroccan so this has been an amazing experience. He went to Qatar for the round of 16 game and had the experience of his life.
They are in Morocco now.

Re: World cup
I think your prediction is a very fair assessment. It has been mine since the beginning.
But I did not expect the quick exit of Brazil.
Portugal was another surprise.
In this sport anything can happen and it did.
And it's not over yet. The will is even higher now; the stage is on the real deal...play ball.

Re: World cup
While that game is an instant classic, there were many questionable antics from both sides. The ref was also trigger-happy and he seemed overwhelmed and incompetent. I did enjoy the game immensely as it’s football at its highest level and highest passion.
Here’s an aerial footage before and after Laurato’s PK. You can see many Dutch players got into his face including the Dutch keeper.

Re: World cup
Yes they did, but these are also normal Argentinian tactics anyway (they were in the referee's face constantly), it's different to kicking a ball full power into the dugout without consequences and just letting a handsball go without yellow.
Anyway doesn't matter anymore, the tournement moves on, France should be the strongest easily (they can go up a few gears during the game, have not seen that from any other team this world cup) but it seems not easy to score against the team of Morocco.Moon 700i V2, YG Acoustics Hailey, Aurender N10, dCS Rossini, Oppo BDP103D (audiopraise board), Ansuz Mainz 8 D2

Re: World cup
Four teams, four possible combinations, only one outcome, only one winner takes all.
World Cup 2022: Ranking the Potential Final Matchups | Sports Illustrated
Option #1 is the most likely, but in sports as in hi-fi audio nothing is written in marble.
Best overall final outcome (the winner) in my book of football (soccer) history, and for the spirit of the tree of life fully illuminated by the light of the next generations of kid's eyes shinning into the future of the sun rising on the horizon over calm waters ... Messi's team, Argentina.
We'll write a new song of hope and transformation for peace all across the universe.
