Dutch Eagle Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 I thought there was a topic for this but maybe this was deleted somehow. Monday December 7th is the preliminary draw for the next World Cup. Greece is in pot 3. The draw starts at 19:00 EET but normally there will be a lot of chit chat and some dance and music before they really start drawing Oceania first and finishing with Europe.

Ellada2004 Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Poland have been given a default win over Russia in their playoff game. That is completely unfair for Sweden & the Czech Republic. FIFA should have gave Slovakia the chance to play Poland as they finished behind Russia in the group. Or one of the other 3rd place teams in the other qualifying groups a playoff spot. Poland getting a free ride to Path B final is ridiculous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brklyngrk Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 Italy lost 0-1 to North Macedonia. They had 32 shots, compared to 4 for North Macedonia. Anything can happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watched it, Italy outplayed them badly. Veratti was amazing all over the field. Italy could not finish one goal and they hit them in stoppage time. Hopefully Portugal put away there chances! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brklyngrk Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Thing is, years from now, no one will remember that they dominated the game, all they will remember is that they lost... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soprano76 Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 Dutch with a very winnable group and good path to the quarterfinals given the 2nd choice teams in Group B. There doesn’t seem to be a group of death this time around, strongest looks to be Group E in my opinion. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhawk Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 The group stage of the World Cup ends today. Spain and Portugal decided not to give it their all in their last group games, which pretty much eliminated Uruguay and Germany from the competition. Let's hope both get eliminated in the Round of 16 as punishment. The Round of 16 matchups: Holland - USA Argentina - Australia France - Poland England - Senegal Japan - Croatia Brazil - Korea Republic Moroco - Spain Portugal - Switzerland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

France were dominated until Mbappe turned it on scored the pk and then that wonder volley. Extra time more goals with Messi and then Mbappe pen. Martinez saved Argentina right at the end of extra time with that great save to send it to pens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhawk Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 Too bad such a great game was decided on penalty kicks. Great comeback for France in 2nd half and could have won it at the end of extra time with that great chance. Once it went to PK's I knew Argentina would win.
