WORLD CUP 2022.
- Thread starter Kandinskyesque
- Start date
I keep thinking, this will be the tournament, when a great African, or Asian team emerges, to shake up the old duopoly.
Of course, I had the same thoughts, at each of the last five World Cups. The best teams I've seen so far, have been Spain, France, Brazil and Portugal. If neutrals adopt one of those, they'll get a run for their money.
I'm not a gambler but for those who are- a small wager on our Iberian friends, would enhance the spectator experience.

USA looking a rock solid unit, hard to break down and not giving any space away.
Well played USA.... who'd a thought?...

A draw in the Marshall vs Fender match then.
Good game, a bit frantic at times, but entertaining for a "neutral".
It looks like the argument continues then, so I'll stick with my amp simulator and Roland setup till they meet again.
If I was a gambler, I'd stick a few £££s on Roland to do quite well after their performance earlier in the week.

Roland will be keen to impress now that he's free of club duties...
The Marshall was showing a lot more sag the longer it went on...
The Fender laughed the loudest..

Despite being beaten 2-1 by Roland on Wednesday, I still wouldn't rule out Bose to at least reach the last 4.Roland will be keen to impress now that he's free of club duties...

They've won it 4 times.

Well being from the land of song and currently residing in the 'where are they now file' in England.... the Welsh never turned up against Iran although Iran did play well. Getting to Qatar was a major achievement in itself but I've found watching World Cups since 1970 you have to change tactics per match, meaning you can't play the same way against every team...as every team is different. England tend to do this too over the years. The USA have also come a long way since the 80's and are now a contender to qualify for each tournament due to major coaching upgrades in youth and college coaching and having players play in the top leagues in the world. My forecast for the final two matches...England will beat Wales and the USA will beat Iran...and so will qualify for the last 16.

Argentina-Mexico looks like a boxing match. I’ve never seen so many face blows in the first 15 minutes of a game.
Messi finally punches one into the net....

this post is kind of a "If You Were The Sports Czar For A Day" post:
Belgium (red jersey, black shorts, black socks) x Morocco (all white uniform)
EXCELLENT VISUAL DIFFERENTIATION
I can tell without concentrating - in other words, I can tell from the reptilian part of my brain - whether a certain camera angle is showing a 5 x 5 situation or a 6 x 4 situation
UNLIKE WHERE ONE TEAM WEARS WHITE JERSEYS X THE OTHER TEAM WEARING WHITE SHORTS. E.G., Denmark x France. 20 white spots = 20 non-goalies. ARG x MEX. In such a match when the players are all in a crowd at the top of the penalty area for a free kick...ferget it. ARG: yes blue and white striped camisetas appear white in the wide-view camera shot.
You think I'm OCD. I'm not.
btw I'm watching on a 42" flatscreen, but These days people watch on iPhone screens. Put a persnickety person in charge, everybody benefits.

I'm watching that game while I'm decorating.
After the first half I may just watch the paint dry.

Wow I'm multi-tasking - and getting overwhelmed
On my radio Sunday Baroque (its new time slot on WRR 101.1 FM, Dallas TX, 8 a.m. to noon Central Time) www.sundaybaroque.org played Bach's violin sonata #1, BWV 1001. That Bach fellow doesn't leave it on the porch, no. He bring it...He can create that floating or falling sensation w/o glissandos. How he do dat?...
...after I watched the video of the miraculous dancer in post #1 of the "The Game" thread, Bad Dog Café...
...and!!! my young lady friend age 30 (whom a doctor* had told her she couldn't have babies) she's been married a year now, and for nine months everybody's all fingers crossed for her and the baby - I learn she GAVE BIRTH to a healthy baby boy!!!...
And there are wild upsets at WC '22
Overwhelmed, I tell ya.
Go, Canada!!!

Well done Morocco!
Great to see that it's often anyone's game.
