WorldCup 2022 - Qatar

[Vesper 28,826]

what the hell happened to Lovren? He looks the 2nd best CB (after Gvardiol) in the WC

he was insanely good the last 2 games or so, especially this one

is Gvardiol THAT good that he makes his partner look WC too?

Feel for Thiago, a player like him should win a World Cup for his legacy. 

But for the rest of their squad: karma 

if you look at all the WC winning Brasil squads, they had multiple HARDMEN in the MF and at fullback

steel

other than arguably Casemiro (and he is so not a Dunga), this Brasil team has none in those positions

Thiago is a world class great CB, but Marquinhos seems to be way off his game

Livakovic made a good impression  in the games vs Dinamo Zagreb .

Respect for Croatia .

yes, but both of those nations deserve to win their first WC

Portugal too

Morocco is the last team left that you can truly say any of their wins is a huge upset

I suppose you could say the Netherlands beating a France side in the final (especially a France side if they had just steamrollered England and then Portugal or Morocco to get there) would be the next closest to that level

[Johnnyeye 7,441]

yup im convinced, get Livakovic

[robsblubot 3,504]

Croatia's midfield is simply a lot better than Brazil's.

Don't think Brazil deserved the win... produced very little aside from Neymar's moment.

PKs were very predictable. Their goalie is quick, agile, and is in great form. Alisson is a bit slow for PKs.

Brazil pulled an England with 20yo Rodrygo taking the first PK. lol

That was terrible.
The Brazilians won a free kick in forward position, they made use of it for time wasting rather than attempt a forward move and yet the Croatians found them with their pants down and made the break !
Not even Spurts would do that.
It's very sad Brazil went out.
Partial reprieve if Netherlands kick Messi out.

Josko Gvardiol is too damn good imagine him in our defence with Reece , Fofana , Chilwell , Chalobah . 

[robsblubot 3,504]

I don't know I was really impressed with that Kovacic fella. 😉 

[MoroccanBlue 5,302]

Sublime pass from Messi

[Vesper 28,826]

crazy pass by Pessi

[Vesper 28,826]

I am starting to hate 3 at the back formations

[Vesper 28,826]

Acuna out for the next match
