Corvinus85 Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 Seriously, every match I watched this week he was there. I guess that's why he's been such a big defender of this tournament. Free VIP tickets and the stadiums so close together he could attend most matches. Aboubakar's red has been one of the funniest I've seen. Even the ref was smiling.

Spockydog Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 My brother-in-law is a Spurs supporter. Got him this for Christmas. Absolute classic. I'm sure he'll be delighted. ETA: I most definitely did not pay £15 for this. Got it for £1.76 on ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Padraig Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 Let's see how bad my guesses will be for this round. I'm sure there will be a few shocks. The US to beat the Dutch because the latter haven't performed so far. England to beat Senegal. Both had easy groups. Senegal were even luckier. Argentina to beat Australia. Can't see anything but this. France to beat a very defensive Poland. Tricky but Croatia to beat Japan. Croatia can't say they weren't warned about Japan. Spain to beat Morocco. Brazil to beat South Korea. And this is the hardest game. Might as well flick a coin. Switzerland to win v Portugal. The Swiss are just more difficult to beat.

Corvinus85 Posted December 3, 2022 Author Share Posted December 3, 2022 France have it in them to lose to Poland, despite the latter's poor performance in the Argentina game. But the Tunisia game maybe reduced their arrogance somewhat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spockydog Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 I never thought I would say this, but Granit Xhaka is rapidly climbing the charts in the annals of my favourite ever Arsenal players. He's been outstanding this season, both for us, and his adopted Switzerland. The way he singlehandedly shithoused and infuriated the Serbs yesterday was first class. Definitely one of the players of the tournament so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Chatywin et al. Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 USA and Argentina playing knockout games on the same day is too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
