Quote from: Grey Fox on November 21, 2022, 10:04:55 PMMaybe this World Cup will teach a lesson to the Middle East sports washers that it is not worth it to invite us to their home.

Why? It has been a resounding success so far. It has proven that all the "principles" the West used to criticise Qatar and the Arab world in general for, are nothing more than empty facades, dropped at the first sight of an actual challenge, or for some pittance thrown people's way.

I don't think so. They had to reform their entire work code because international interest were asking questions.

Quote from: Josquius on November 22, 2022, 07:40:31 AMIt would be incredibly England to win the shit world cup.

Omg its stating already. England beats one of the worst teams of the tournament and "it's coming home" starts blasting in people's heads :p

Those saying it's coming home are forgetting the Iranians scored as many goals as the Saudis. Main difference is that the saudis goalie didn't get his face bashed in and have to be replaced :D .

Quote from: The Larch on November 22, 2022, 08:13:11 AMDid anyone watch the game? I'm reading that Argentina had 3 goals disallowed...  :hmm:

Clear offsides.

Was that with the new fancy automatic offside tech they're implementing in this WC?

Two were super obvious, one was close and VAR did it in. But if you gonna go robot refereeing then go 100%


Here are some photos of the offsides

And Messi divided into a free kick (that he then shanked), but I can't gripe too much, Ronaldo would do the same :ph34r: :lol:

Second best thing in social media after Italians getting angry at food? Argentinians getting angry after losing a football match.

Two straight 0-0 games.  How thrilling!

Saudi Arabia leading the group is pretty wild though.
