Argentina only got a little more than two days to recover from the last game so fatigue may factor against Australia given how they rely on some of the older players but they should win.

Dread playing either France or Poland (especially after the last England/Poland clash at the Euros, jfc that took a year off my life), but I don't have too much concern about Senegal.

There again, the chaotic and aggressive and risky way these African teams have been playing so far, I'm not 100% that we'll crush them, or do it without at least a bit of damage. It seems that their freestyle and spirit is throwing off any considered professional strategy by superstar Western teams. If Gareth goes uber-defensive as I imagine he will, this fixture is going to look like a man chiseling away at a very big immovable fucking rock (a slab, if you will) to beat a timer.

Your team may be better educated, more spirited, more heroic, more mature and professional etc. But our mad lads are chaotic and feral and raised on the bloody milk of this game from the cot. For you, this is about starting something, proving a point and ‘being the best’ in the world stage; for us, this is about ending something, beating *ourselves*, clawing at a very ancient and primal dream, and fulfilling a prophecy.

I mean Brazil are the most likely winners, of course.

Sad to see Japan go out failing so badly at penalties. Antithesis of their never say die attitude. They really shit the bed at the end.

The Koreans on the other hand have had their ass handed to them. Brazil look unbelievable. I hope SK can eke out a goal or 2 for consolation. Sucks that concaaf and Asia are completely out of the cup.

I can't believe Dani Alves has actually played two games at the World Cup and could easily have scored when his career seemed over and done with long ago.

My prediction that Switzerland might cause problems for Portugal was so wrong. They should have parked the bus like Morocco did against Spain but then I suppose they thought they'd be in with a chance if Portugal were as bad as they were in the group stages. Without Ronaldo, Portugal look like a genuine threat.

Spain got 0 penalty kicks and lost to Morocco with 3 ??

WTF? Was this as unexpected as I would have thought? (I don't watch bec it's boring, but I vaguely follow it)

I though Japan was poor at penalty kicks. Spain was even worse!!!

by Anonymousreply 163December 7, 2022 12:12 AM

Yes, it's the only upset of the first round of knockouts. Spain's problem is that they don't really have good strikers and are low on creative players so when the opposing team plays ultra defensively they don't have many resources. As for the missed penalties, 0 scored is terrible. Why Busquets was chosen, I don't know, he is not known for either penalties or scoring. I don't know why Pedri didn't take one instead. Ferran Torres would have been a good penalty taker but he was substituted.

Do not ever get into a penalty shootout with Croatians.

Brazil just had to defend for 15 minutes and they couldn't get that right. They are too football savvy to be naive. But perhaps the mentality to go forward, to show off a bit prevented them from just sitting back and defend. When you have a one goal lead in extra time, you should have more defenders in your half than your opponents have attackers.
