The Official FIFA World Cup Thread - QATAR 2022

Who cares how good they are relative to their club team mates or who they play for. That is not how football works

Upamecano has been worse than poor. Almost gave away 3 pens to England.

A defence has to play as a unit. The CB's need to complement each other. The manager's tactics decide how they play (what they do) and they depend on cover from players higher up the field (where tchoumeini was not good defending and rabiot was not holding position).

It was better that Upamecano missed this game and that Kounde played a more defensive minded role in midfield this match.

I don't know what you are talking about. On the one hand you are saying it's not about individual quality, on the other hand you are blaming one person for two individual actions

If L Hernandez wasn't injured they could've played with 3 players who start together in Munch who have among the strongest defenses in the world.
But they wouldn't do that, because Varane is a better leader and generally a player than Pavard and Upamecano. There's more dimensions.

This is national team football, defense will never be amazing alone unless your whole team plays defense like Morocco. France does not stand out in any of the great teams as being weak.


England is the only team that had them shaking, as they should've. Just as Argentina did last time. Just like the best teams should do to each other, or are you saying that the English offense is so trash they should've not even reached France goal while being down 1?

Kinda, you never heard trehs being called shims before

Overheard my uncle say it when he was talking about an ugly woman

Yeah I knew it was something approximating that. Seemed like breh mistakenly thought it was a play on chimp and mbappe

to Morocco for making it to the semifinals and creating more slots for African teams in the next world cup

It's crazy for me to see Black people in this thread and other places online rooting for France. IDGAF how many African players France has, I'll never support them in anything. As someone who is a descendant of people colonized by France I will always despise them for their past and current ongoing atrocities in Africa and their former colonies. I have nothing personal against their players, I fw Mbappe heavy and he's my favorite player but I can't rock with France at all.

But I don't fw with Argentina either. I wish both of these teams could lose in the final

 

[Givethanks]

I got my dream final.

All PSG final

[MVike28]

[The Wall Is Undefeated!]

My round-up of the SF

Argentina - La Albiceleste (The White and Sky Blue) soar the sky blue and land in the Finals.
Croatia - Vatreni (The Blazers), Kockasti (The Checkered Ones) had their fire put out and they were checked out of the SF.
France - Le Coq Gaulois/The Gallic Roosters have shown their big cock energy once more and make their way to the Finals
Morocco - The Atlas Lions should've stayed on their mountain range... but good for them making it to the SF.

Third Place Playoff

Croatia vs Morocco
Can Croatia blaze and check off a third-place win? Or can Morocco pounce on the third-place win for both Africa and the Arab world?

Final

Argentina vs France
The match for their 3rd World Cup title. That's it.

Watched every major cup since the 90s, watch about just about every Madrid game since the 90s except CL and I listen to pros and analyze based on what they say.


Those teams had relatively solid defense (yes it can be spelled [spelt for the untraveled] in different ways depending on which region you have your autocorrect set to) for being NATIONAL TEAMS. And yes they were better than this France. But that doesn't make them poor. Not heard anyone say that, I've heard people say that Upamecano was overly aggressive vs England, as he has been in Bayern as well.

Exactly what I’ve been saying
Anyone Black should be rooting for France at this point since the majority of their team is of African descent.

Anyone Black rooting for Argentina between the two is a KOON imo

1. The majority of the team France are Black and of African descent,
so I’m rooting for them in solidarity


As long as whoever wins between them two,
beats those Argentinian Nazis

Fukk them Nazi loving CRACKAS and anyone that loves em.
