The 3rd World cup game in a row that I've watched with no score.

Soccer has a problem -
make the goals twice as wide!

That was better -
Spain just beat Costa Rica 7 - nil.
The largest win ever in the world cup.
Costa Rica looked like a high school team up against a first division team.  Grin

Now even the World Cup is captured by Big Gay.


Seven World Cup nations have been forced to abandon plans to wear the inclusive One Love armband after an ‘unprecedented’ FIFA edict which could have resulted in the suspension of each nation’s captain during the group stage.

England coach Gareth Southgate has said his team will take the knee before their World Cup matches in Qatar to send a strong message of “inclusivity”.

But captain Harry Kane will not wear the rainbow One Love armband, following the shock decision by FIFA on Sunday to threaten captains who did so with yellow and red cards.

And nor will the captains of Wales, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands and Switzerland, following a tough FIFA call this week.

Germany looked totally 'distracted' by this Media narrative of one of their players pushing the Gay Parade.
It's obvious that the Germans were not focused on the game, but were instead focused on the arses of the Nihonese players,  always staying one step 'behind' them.

75% of the players, and fans, are gay.

Again, there's absolutely nothing wrong with that, but just face the facts Booby.

Some adds were popping up saying Australia were paying $5 to score. I thought it sounded a good bet. Was going to go for $50 or $100 but didn't care enough to do it.

I may try to get around to watching a game.

I should be more interested as one of my wife's uncles played for Australia and was selected for a world cup. About half the Australian team at that time came to my engagement party.

Seems all the fans at the World Cup are getting peeved at how the American fans there are calling it 'Soccer'.
Australia first coined the word as far as I know (do correct me if I am wrong) and the Americans have also embraced it.
I think there are some other nations that also call it Soccer.

There are many forms of 'Football' codes in the world, but the prima donna 'Soccer' establishment, likes to think its the only 'Football' in existence.
Gridiron is Football too, but it's also titled 'Gridiron'.

SOCCER World Cup.  Wink

But Greggy baits people into off topic rubbish while denigrating them
and then when they reply in an unfavorable way he dobs them in
and gets them banned.

England to win the World Cup in my opinion.

FIFA World Cup 2022 TUN v AUS


7:30PM - 11:30PM

CC

Tunisia vs Australia
at Al Janoub Stadium,

Al Wakrah, Qatar. Hosts Richard Bayliss and Niav Owens will be joined by guests, including football analysts Mark Bosnich, Craig Foster and Sarah Walsh. Commentary from David Basheer.
Kick-off at
9.00pm (AEDT).




As an aside -
does anyone else think that some of the play is a bit suspicious?

I mean - so many easy goal shots right in front of the nets are mostly missed -
some that I think I could have kicked in -
not something that a multi million dollar striker should miss -
even simple low speed headers are also missed.
I am wondering if there is some gambling money affecting the outcomes?    Embarrassed

I saw Kylian Mbappé play this morning as
France played Denmark and won 2 to 1.
He's only 23 years old.
How much is he paid per annum?


...

...



https://psgtalk.com/2022/08/report-messi-neymar-and-mbappes-wages-for-2022-2023-...

Paris Saint-Germain has built quite a superteam over the years, with Lionel Messi and Sergio Ramos being the club’s latest big-money acquisitions. PSG did not have to post a transfer fee to acquire either player, but it needed to agree to hefty contract deals in order to bring them in.

Overall, as noted by Football Reference, PSG has the three highest-paid players in world football today with Kylian Mbappe, Messi, and Neymar.

Mbappe will earn an astounding €90.91 million (gross) for this season
,
while Messi is set to haul in €63.64 million (gross).

On the other hand, Neymar will be earning a €56.36 million (gross) salary for the ongoing campaign, and he has already proved that he deserves to earn such wages thanks to his eight total goal contributions recorded in PSG’s opening three fixtures of the new season.

More so, Sergio Ramos will be the seventh highest-paid player in the sport today due to his €27.27 million (gross) salary.

The expectations for these four players are quite high to lead PSG to a treble-winning campaign this season.

The Outrageous $1.6 Billion Difference
Between Australia & France’s World Cup Teams



...


There was never really much doubt that Australia was entering Qatar’s 2022 FIFA World Cup as underdogs, especially considering the Socceroos are scheduled to face the reigning champions in France during their very first match. But a viral infographic recently published by Fox Sports has only highlighted the sheer disparity between both national squads.
France 2022 World Cup Team Market Value

    Kylian Mbappe: $246 million
    Christopher Nkunku: $123 million
    Aurelien Tchouameni: $123 million
    Kingsley Coman: $92 million
    Ousmane Dembele: $92 million
    Jules Kounde: $92 million
    Theo Hernandez: $84 million
    Dayot Upamecano: $77 million
    William Saliba: $77 million
    Eduardo Camavinga: $77 million
    Total: $1.66 billion


https://www.foxsports.com.au/football/world-cup/fifa-world-cup-2022-socceroos-vs...

The France squad, according to transfermarkt.com,
has a eye-watering total value of 1.08 billion Euros ($A1.66 billion) –

more than a billion dollars more than the Socceroos,
which totals 38.4 million Euros ($A59m).

What a surprise after Japan beat Germany 2 to 1 and
Costa Rica went down 7 nil to Spain.

The Belgian,  Dutch and French teams are darker than the Moroccans or Tunisians. The Germans are mostly Turks.

The Japanese are all Japanese, the Polish all Poles.

Belgium - Morrocco, 0:2
Moroccans rioting in Belgium and Holland.



Moroccan migrants are rioting and setting cities on fire all over Europe because they won a football game against Belgium. Mind you, these men are 3rd/4th generation migrants. Integration does not happen over time: the problem just gets worse.

Strange results - refer to the graph above.

Japan beat Germany  2 to 1.
The Japanese team is worth 205 million Euros
but the Germans are a 1.02 billion Euro team.
So how could a time 5 times more expensive lose?

However -

Costa Rica beat Japan 1 to nil.
The Japanese team is worth 205 million Euros
Costa Rica is the lowest value team at only 23 million Euros.
So how could a team 10 times cheaper beat Japan?   Smiley

Moral of the story:
Money doesn't buy you love and
it doesn't always buy you a winning football team.  Smiley

Indeed.
And so 'Belgian-Moroccans' riot in Belgium.

And when Croatia beats Morrocco next, there will be no Morroccans rioting in Zagreb.  Roll Eyes Roll Eyes 


Half the Belgian team is Africans. Ditto Netherlands, France. Germany. By contrast, the Poles, Croats, and Serbs have only Poles, Croats and Serbs, respectively, in their teams.


The Great Replacement is resisted in some parts of the world but sadly not in Western Europe.

It's strange how people take soccer so seriously that it leads to violence.
Remember Thatcher back in the 80s coming down heavy on footy violence in the UK?

No matter how much fans in Australia try to get behind the Socceroos in the World Cup football, soccer will not be popular in Australia for as long as cheating and the theatrics come in to factor in the match. Australian sports fans are still annoyed at the dive that the Italian player took in the quarterfinals vs the Socceroos. Australian fans are more about getting the game done legitimately.

Keeps on about Trump's sex life and penis size, because he couldn't fault the guy Politically.
Takes more dives on this Forum than a Soccer player in Europe.

Qatar is estimated to have spent as much as $220 billion on the World cup.



...

When Qatar kicks off the first match of the 2022 World Cup against Ecuador on Sunday night — mid-morning for American audiences — the world will finally witness the end result of one of the largest capital campaigns in human history.

Qatar’s minister of finance said in 2017 the country was spending $500 million per week on infrastructure projects including roads, hotels, stadiums and airport upgrades to prepare the small Middle Eastern nation to host the world’s largest sporting event. It will be, by far, the most expensive World Cup in history.

Qatar is estimated to have spent as much as $220 billion

in the dozen years since being chosen as a World Cup host in late 2010, more than 15 times what Russia spent for the 2018 event.

see graph above -
Denmark is a 403 million Euro team,

Australia is a 38 million Euro team -

therefore we are playing a team which is worth 10 times as much.
We have little chance to beat them but anything is possible.

Any kind of loss for the Socceroos will mean an early exit. Denmark cannot just draw. Denmark must win to progress.

I had always thought that the relatively big loss to France in the first game was due to the nerves of their pre-tournament statement -- sucking up to the homosexuals. But, seeing that the crowds and the international community have been quite in favour of condemning Qatar, I could only come to the conclusion that the Socceroos were playing under par at their own lack of competition. If the Socceroos lost 2-1 to France, this game against Denmark might well be interesting if the Socceroos lose by one goal. Does that mean that a penalty shootout to see who advances? Or would the goals for or goals against factor into who progresses, regardless of goal difference?

Australia has little chance of winning -
long odds and Denmark is odds on.

You are forgiven for not being true blue.
There is a chance for you to redeem yourself -

Australia play Argentina early Monday morning.



Australia -  a 38 million Euro team.

Argentina - a 748 million Euro team.
20 times more expensive than our team.

I had trouble sleeping with the cold and the rain of last night. I checked in on the score at halftime. Then I played a mobile game for a while. Later, I checked the score again with Australia 1-nil up. I kept looking back every few minutes, whilst I facebook posted. A lot of commentary stating crosses at the 90 minute mark. So, I suppose that was injury time. Happy to see Australia get through. Now, they will have to up their game and do Argentina.

Socceroos always 'choke'.
Just a matter of when and against whom?
Treat em like crap, ignore them and they win.
Soon as they are praised by the Media, etc - they choke the next match.

Soccer is a game like that. Australia are good enough to score a goal against almost any opposition. In the first half they deserved to have had 3 goals scored against them. The opposition choked a bit and expected to easily win a lot.

It is about Australia's 14th highest profile sport and I have a relative who played for them almost in a world cup. (Who would not agree with me).

As it was, a draw would not have been enough for the Socceroos to get through. Tunisia upset a second-string French side.

Socceroos always 'choke'.
Just a matter of when and against whom?
Treat em like crap, ignore them and they win.
Soon as they are praised by the Media, etc - they choke the next match.


Soccer is a game like that. Australia are good enough to score a goal against almost any opposition. In the first half they deserved to have had 3 goals scored against them. The opposition choked a bit and expected to easily win a lot.



I agree - I thought Denmark would easily win after seeing the first 15 minutes.

They are smaller than the Europeans which means they
have a better power to weight ratio -
they can run faster at short distances especially
when defending close to their own goal.
It's like lions -
the smaller faster female lions catch most of the prey -
the males are too heavy to run fast to catch them.
They Japanese crowd out the attackers and are on to the ball faster.
Maybe the Japanese are superior?

Well Soccer is a 'team' sport and in the northern hemisphere, the Yellows pride themselves on 'mass numbers' unlike the token Black Man's individuality which would be better suited to individual sports like Golf or Tennis.

Come down to the Southern Hemisphere and its big yellow pineapple polynesian Jonah Lomu wrecking havoc.

We will probably have this conversation again if Australia manage to pull off the win against Argentina. Australia would then go up against the winner of Netherlands vs USA. You will post up your "doubt it" forecast of Australia winning. Then you will hold up the odds again. And I still will be backing the Socceroos to make the semis.

My pick is that it will either be an Aust (beat Arg) v USA (beat Neth) or it will be a more traditional WC clash of Arg v Neth instead.
Personally, I think the world is ready for a world first of seeing Australia V USA.
There has been a few USA v NZ and Aust V Canada (brawls Grin) matches, but I don't ever remember an Aust v USA.
I bet Aust chokes for the USA like a Boxing dive.

Japan def Croatia (here's hoping for a refreshing Qatar WC)
Portugal def Brazil (Brazil are a bunch of Wankers)
England def Senegal
France def Poland
Morocco def Spain.

It seems that playing the 'Soccer' World Cup in New Nations does affect the outcome of the usual winners.

My psychic powers tell me that it will be England def Brazil in the WC Final.
...thanks to its two colonies USA & Aust doing well. Wink

Gee Bobby. I can't remember a World Cup where there has been a lot of 'new talent' nations winning over the usual mob.
Portugal beaten, Brazil beaten, Ur-gay didn't make it with their win, Sth Korea and their Zorro winning.
It's all pretty exciting really. Seeing a lot of prima-donna ego nations being beaten.

I guess playing in a 'new' venue (Qatar) does upset the applecart a bit. Tony Greig was right - it all depends upon the moisture in the pitch.

yes - the $billion teams need to hire talent from some
other countries in the world -
they are paying their own players too much - it's a reality check.


Although -
Just watching now the Germany versus Costa Rica replay.
Germany wins 4 to 2.
Still surprising that the lowest team on the list got 2 goals against Germany.  Shocked

You're an idiot.
They  did the opposite of choke. Yes that second goal was a stuff up but that's sometimes happens when you play at this level.  You take chances and they can pay off or backfire. The first goal was just mesi showing why he's the best in the world. Give him an opportunity and he'll take it. Australia played well and can hold their heads up.

Argentina are clinical when they get a chance they score. this is about the same result as the previous game if the opposition took their chances.

This game was always a huge ask.

Argentina have won 2 world cups and runner up 3 times. It does not get better than that. (unless your Brazil)

Australia scored goals against 3 teams ranked in the top 10, 2 in the top 5.

They sure did -
I think they psyched themselves out of the game.
We had everything needed to win that game.
One man should have been marking Messi the whole game -
instead they let the best player in the world run around freely -
and it cost them the game.

Argentina shouldn't be hard for the others to beat. They're just a 'one-man' side in a 'team' sport. You only have to deal with Messi. Australia didn't achieve that.

Did you see Messi dribble the ball past over 5 Aussie defenders
all the way from the center field to nearly get a goal?   Grin

The Aussies looked like a school boy team.   Grin

Not everyone that reads these topics just stops reading at the one page. People do read and skim through the pages. And simply adding a chart on every page does not make your posts any more helpful. You can post the chart the once. Then you can assume that other people can do their own research.

The most successful teams in Team Sports are teams that play as a synchonised 'unit' - together.
Teams that have the above average player like Pele, Maradonna, Messi, etc - well they will always be 2nd Best.

The best example is Jonah Lomu and the All Blacks in Rugby. The Springboks and French knew they only had to play against 'ONE' player in a sport that demands 'a team' effort.
So to is Argentina and it has shown in the past, that teams who keep Messi under control, basically keep the whole Argentinian team under control and win.
Australia did not do that. They let Messi do what he liked. They did not suppress him in anyway. Instead - they worshipped his 'God-like' status and ego. They paid attention to him in all the wrong ways and 'paid' for it.

That's how you win against teams with those 'singularity' superstar 'individual' players in a ...TEAM SPORT.

Comprendo? Huh

The facts very clearly do not support your view.

Pele' won 3 world cups played in 4 world cup finals.
Maradona won a World cup.
Ronaldo won 2 world cups.

The great players tend to be the leading light in great teams.

When the best teams meet the team with the outstanding player invariably has the edge.

Sadly, many Soccer nations couldn't get the gist of this facet when facing Maradonna and Pele. But I've seen sides shut down Messi before. I've even seen a German side thrash an ego-driven Brazil of 'individual' stars 7-1 with a clinical no-personality side of cohesion. I saw Canterbury-Bankstown shut down Balmain with the great Ellery Hanley, but in 'Redneck' football Terry Lamb just took their Ace Card out of action with a stiff arm. A bit rough, but it worked. Balmain, having relied on the individual brilliance of Hanley were lost without him.  Grin

You mean the Wayne Bennett that had Wally Lewis, Alfie Langer, Darren Lockyer, Steve Renouf, Corey Parker, Glenn Lazeras etc. and still never won a soccer world cup ?

Lamb shut down Hanley by running in from 15 metres after the ball was passed and taking his head off. Hanley's eyes rolled back in his head while he was still in the air, Hanley was left unconscious and concussed badly. Lamb should have been sent off. The tackle was very late and very high. This almost certainly changed the result of the grand final.

The small problem you have is that you are wrong.

You should have worked that out by now.

The feeling I get is that you have never played this type of team sport.

Most of the great teams are very good teams with one or more great players.

The Australian Cricket team of the 1930's is acknowledged as a great team. They had Don Bradman. Its everywhere you look.

Ahh yes. The 'Don'.
The man the whole team hated because they had to 'serve' him.

Now it's simple mathematics.
Team Sport = Team, not 'individual'.
Individual Sport = Individual, not 'team'.

If you see it against the 'orthodox' because of Bradman, Pele, Cocaine Maradonna, etc - well, the world is f*ucked up because it's been going about it all the wrong way. Take a look at the Democrats for example.

But hey. The Socceroos gave Messi little attention and he made them pay for it. Cancel out Messi and the rest of the side, mostly 'reliant' on Messi would find it hard to surpass his 'shining star status' and win the game beyond him.

A good allround Team will always beat a Team with just one 'Superstar' player.

I have shown an endless list of occasions where that was proven untrue in practise.

No it is a very good team Messi is just the icing on the top. What happens when a defence double teams a player it means that there is a player open somewhere else. In soccer an attacking player not defended is game over. At world cup level it isn't teams with one very good player it is teams with all very good players and maybe one or two players who are really special.

The great player have a decade or more of oppositions trying to shut them down and failing. There is not one opposition team that do not understand what they need to do the problem is that it can be impossible.

World Cup’s hottest fan Ivana Knoll’s skimpy outfits spark controversy with locals


By News.com.au      
December 2, 2022 1

The UK Foreign Office advised visitors to Qatar that women are expected to cover their shoulders and avoid wearing short skirts.

Women traveling in to the Arab nation are also banned from wearing any tight clothing, or flashing any cleavage.

WAGs were advised to wear a scarf around their necks in a bid to cover up their busts.

“Visitors (men as well as women) are expected to show respect for local culture by avoiding excessively revealing clothing in public,” the Qatar tourism authority warned before the World Cup.

Brazil are not known for being a very sporting nation, other than their soccer exploits. I think we can forgive them for being world leaders in that game.

What a terrible game - so boring - no score - nil nil
until a penalty shootout which Spain lost.

Soccer needs to change -
I suggest - expandable goals - that go from 24 feet wide to 26 feet wide
for the extra time of 30 minutes whenever there's a draw after the first 90 minutes.

There has to be a better way.

I understand your point.
When I played Soccer in Mt Druitt as a young'un.
For an occassional friendly match about 5 times a year for the grades - if you scored 'outside' the box, it was worth 3 points and inside the box is 2 points and a Penalty in the Box was only worth 1 point.
It really did void the draws and bring in a variety of play, as going for a penalty didn't really come across as being an attractive strategy and scoring the 3 points really sorted the best Strikers out from the rest.

This, as far as I know - opens the game right up. As a team who just aims for Box penalties against a team that can score outside the Box, can fall behind regardless of how many 'dives' they take for a penalty.

I can't for the life of me, know or have heard of a better way to deal with the doldrums of a draw and a need for a penalty shoot-out rubbish.
I don't know if they still play these matches there?
Feels like half a century ago.

FIFA World Cup 2022 R16 Morocco v Spain


1:30AM - 4:30AM
  Wednesday morning  7.12.22

CC

Round of 16 - Group F winner v Group E runner-up - from Education City Stadium, Al Rayyan, Qatar. Hosted by Richard Bayliss and Niav Owens. Kick-off at 2.00am (AEDT).


What a terrible game - so boring - no score - nil nil
until a penalty shootout which Spain lost.

Soccer needs to change -
I suggest - expandable goals - that go from 24 feet wide to 26 feet wide
for the extra time of 30 minutes whenever there's a draw after the first 90 minutes.

There has to be a better way.


I understand your point.
When I played Soccer in Mt Druitt as a young'un.
For an occassional friendly match about 5 times a year for the grades - if you scored 'outside' the box, it was worth 3 points and inside the box is 2 points and a Penalty in the Box was only worth 1 point.
It really did void the draws and bring in a variety of play, as going for a penalty didn't really come across as being an attractive strategy and scoring the 3 points really sorted the best Strikers out from the rest.

This, as far as I know - opens the game right up. As a team who just aims for Box penalties against a team that can score outside the Box, can fall behind regardless of how many 'dives' they take for a penalty.

I can't for the life of me, know or have heard of a better way to deal with the doldrums of a draw and a need for a penalty shoot-out rubbish.
I don't know if they still play these matches there?
Feels like half a century ago.



I played soccer for at least 2 seasons at school and
one season after I left school in adult competition.
I never heard of your scoring method for soccer.
It wouldn't help much in a nil all draw.
I don't know if larger goals would help either as
both sides might defend even more - to neutralise the effect?

It lessens the possibility of a 0-0 draw, let alone any draw as it has three different scoring methods: a 3-pointer, 2-pointer and a 1-pointer to mix things up a bit. Come to think of it, the AFL with its 6-pointers and 1-pointers (behind) and League & Union's variations lowers the possibility of a draw probably at a guess at 80%?
Less likelihood of a draw and creates new strategies for play.
Even Basketball has a variation of points 3, 2 & 1.

I think an Australia v USA in this format would make the game exceptionally exciting.

So many times when younger, I've seen Soccer teams just settle for a draw, especially when there is no need for a Penalty Shootout. Hence why I don't watch it much anymore - because the opinion is the same right around the world about Soccer: Boring because of the low scores and common draws.

If Soccer players around the world think they're so good to get of $100,000,000 in pays - then I'm sure they could play this format of scoring, eh?

It is rare at a soccer game for there to be more action on the field than on the other side of the fence.

True.

If only the usual nations keep making the semis and winning the cup. Might find that less nations will be willing to spend the money just to make up the numbers, let alone hosting the Cup - especially if the bored fans rip up your cities.

Ok. I'll tip Brazil and Argentina to progress for Samerica.
And France and Portugal to progress for Europe.

Sorry England.
...but if England do beat France - then I reckon they will win the World Cup like Lawrence of Arabia.

But I hope Portugal win.

Yes - I also think that Brazil and Argentina will win tonight.
I think France will be in the final.
Portugal have what it takes to win the World cup -
they play exciting - not predictable soccer.

I watched Croatia versus Brazil.
The last 30 minutes of extra time was exciting but
the first 90 minutes was boring with no goals.
Brazil was unlucky to lose.

It's crazy -
Brazil has a population of 214 million people while
Croatia has only 4 million people to call on for their team.
It doesn't make sense.

Hence my brave idea to have expandable goals which
can go from 24 feet wide to 26 feet wide whenever the score
is nil all or 1 all after say 30 minutes.
They need to do something to increase the goal rate.

I'll give her a -1 for the fake Raven hair.
But a +1 for the nipple nearly poking out to smile.

South Americans are like Australians - pretty bad sports really.
The way they mocked the Dutch after winning through - was bad sportsmanship.

Interesting, l was actually talking about  soccer players.

I only mentioned guys, not poofters. Why do you associate 'guy' with poofs? It's certainly not the first thing I think off when I hear 'guy'. After all,  I'm a guy and I'm not  a poof.

You probably associate guy with poof because that's what you relate to.

I played 3 trial matches. Didn't make the team, scored 2 goals and was the fastest in the team but I was the only player who didn't speak Italian. Had a lot to do with Soccer Players, Soccer coaches and Broadcasters. Much of the first Australian world cup team came to my engagement party.

No but there are likely others well qualified. I played about 20 seasons of Rugby League.

I seem to have come across Soccer players in a lot of different ways. I worked For the PMG the first team I was with included Raul Blanco. My Wife's Uncle played for Australia, One of her cousins played top level indoor soccer including several years in Argentina. I played golf with a well known Marconi Striker and another guy with the golf club coached Newcastle. I worked in IT support on a world cup broadcast.

I make no claim to know anything about soccer but that combination is 3 up front 4 in the centre and 3 at the back. Like I said I played Rugby League. Knowing soccer players teaches me nothing.

Well - I'd like to see more exciting soccer where they break that structure often -
going to 3 in the back 2 in the middle and 5 up front.
They don't do it enough as it's risky to leave the mid field less defended.
A mid fielder can even score a goal that way as it confuses the opponents
and outnumbers them around the goal.
I think the play is too predictable and that's why we're seeing
penalty shootouts to win games.

You would get scores like 25 to 23 but without a good goal being scored. nobbling the D is no answer. Soccer is Soccer (a low scoring mostly boring game) playing with the rules will stuff it up like has happened in so many other sports.

The English choked again with that last penalty shot given in the box. He sent it into the crowd like a $million player does with a free shot.

Well, I can only say from here - considering I've been pretty awful in my tips. That I hope Morocco does its country and the sport itself proud.

It really is boring seeing the same teams in the final Cup after Cup.

Whilst soccer/football is a very skilled game of ball control with a player using their feet, it is difficult to go pass rugby league/union and AFL in terms of skill. Having to force your way pass the opponent with brute force and have a nearby player to assist getting you to the tryline, that comes off more difficult to play (and exciting to watch). Soccer players pass the ball back and forward and do very little exciting play (other than contesting the ball and the scoring opportunities). The fact that the soccer players dive over the lightest of touches or even dive when a player has not even touched them, it gets on the nerves of Australian sports fans. We are so accustomed to seeing injured players continuing their match, despite said injuries. And it all becomes heroic.

naah,
I want to see action like a midfielder charge right through close to the goal
and either divert attention away from an actual striker or get a goal himself.
Instead - I'm seeing boring regimented soccer where each player
receives the ball - passes it on and then returns to their predictable position -
in fact I'm getting sick of it.

Rugby players do not play up their injuries. They become a liability whilst they are down in back play. Meanwhile, soccer players act like they are shot by snipers and make miraculous recoveries when they get the penalty in their favour.

You really should not act that oblivious to this fact, John. But, somehow you do.

Peccary would be seen taking a swan dive well away from the action while Smith would be trying to stick his finger up someone's bum in a ruck.

Sorry but Australia have produced too many cricket cheats in recent years for that to be considered correct. Maybe Try golf ?

The top teams are worth over $1 billion each.
Qatar spent $220 billion on the stadiums etc for this world cup.
God knows what soccer turns over in the world.
It's more than the GDP of many countries.
There is nothing even approaching the size and importance of soccer.

Table tennis is a game you play when you are drunk. Lawn bowls you play when you are old. I cannot remember having sports competitions at high school that involved table tennis or lawn bowls. We did have soccer.

Looks like I missed another soccer world cup.


I have heard more about a couple of dead journalists, the facilities being in disarray, some big-breasted Croatian model flaunting her stuff in front of the ultraconservatives, and the deaths of foreign workers. And I mean "more" as in more than the soccer matches themselves. This was the "who cares FIFA world cup".



Soccer is the largest sport in the world.
It's bigger than Ben Hur.


Ben who ?

It rates at about sport number 27 in Australia. It is between table tennis and lawn bowls I think.



The top teams are worth over $1 billion each.
Qatar spent $220 billion on the stadiums etc for this world cup.
God knows what soccer turns over in the world.
It's more than the GDP of many countries.
There is nothing even approaching the size and importance of soccer.

There is a big difference between cost and worth, no team is worth even 5% of that.

Ha.
Well we'll see if the individual brilliance of Messi who clearly dominates his own side can beat France (obviously) who is a well drilled slick team as a whole. Will they do to Messi, what they did to Jonah Lomu and the All Blacks?

I'll go with France to win. Well I have to really after what I've said about 'individuals' in Team Sports only really getting 2nd Prize.

If Morocco somehow beat France - they won't have what it takes to phase out Messi who is seeking God Status in Samerica this World Cup. Unless the Moroccans somehow throw caution to the wind and just attack Team Messi relentlessly and outscore the Argies. But I doubt this scenario. Team Messi are hoping the Moroccans win, rather than the more potent French.

I was honestly hoping for a Falklands War between the Argies and English. Cheesy

Once again, shame Australia and the USA didn't play against one another - again. Roll Eyes I think a few political and cultural ties would have been severed there.


Good Guys: Asia, Europe, Africa, Oceania

Bad Guys: Namerica, Samerica, Sahul (Oz), Middle-East

Should be interesting how it pans out.

Morocco Fans Clash with Police in Brussels,
France After Defeat in World Cup Semi-final, 1 Dead



Story by News Desk • 14m ago

Moroccan fans clashed with the police on Wednesday evening in central Brussels, after the country lost 2-0 to France in the FIFA World Cup semi-final.


Around 100 soccer fans, some wrapped in Moroccan flags, briefly clashed with police throwing fireworks and other objects and setting alight some garbage bags and cardboard boxes.

Police responded with water cannons and tear gas. Police also detained several fans and said that the clashes were brief and caused no serious damage.

However, a teenage boy, part of the Moroccan supporters, was run down on the streets of Montpellier during the unrest. According to a report in Daily Mail, the crowd while marching down Rue de la Mosson came across a white hatchback with a French flag flying out of its window.

When the car made a hasty U-turn to cross into the oncoming lane and make a quick getaway, the teenager was sucked under the wheels, sustaining critical injuries. He was later declared dead by the hospital authorities, the report said.

Reuters reporters saw police detain several of the fans but said the clashes were brief and caused no serious damage.

It's a disaster for France losing 0-2 at halftime.

France doesn't look good at all on the field.

Argentina leads 2-0 at the half

Argentina leads France 2-0 after the first 45 minutes of the World Cup 2022 final.


It was the South American side that looked the more lively from the first whistle. And about a quarter through this match, Argentina hit paydirt.

In the 21st minute, Ángel Di María was taken down in the box. The ref blew the whistle and pointed to the spot: penalty awarded to Argentina.

Who else but Lionel Messi stepped up and coolly deposited the ball past France goaltender Hugo Lloris to put his side up 1-0.

Late in the first half, things went from bad to worse for the defending champs.

In the 35th minute, Messi set the counterattack in motion. Alexis Mac Allister found a steaking Di María on the left side of the box, who beat Lloris to give Argentina a commanding 2-0 lead going into the break.

This strong start has the crowd in Lusail Stadium, dominated by those rooting on Messi's side in his final World Cup match, in euphoria.

Argentina 2-0 France

The longer france have possession, the better they look.

Argentinas attack is more active, incisive.

What a game!

https://edition.cnn.com/sport/live-news/world-cup-final-argentina-france-12-18-2...



1 min ago
Argentina wins the 2022 World Cup


It took 90 minutes of regulation, 30 minutes of extra time and a penalty kick shootout to decide it — but Argentina is the 2022 World Cup champion.

It was the two superstars who stepped up first for their sides in the shootout. France kicked first and Kylian Mbappé, who had a hat trick in the game, blasted it by Argentina's Emiliano Martínez.

Next up was the legend. Lionel Messi approached the spot and calmly rolled one in to tie it up.

But after that, France missed their next two attempts to give Argentina a big advantage. And after Gonzalo Montiel made it four in a row for Argentina, it was over.

Going into the shootout, the two sides were tied at 3-3

after some truly epic moments of open play. French superstar Kylian Mbappe scored all three goals for his side and earned himself a hat trick. The legend Lionel Messi scored two in the match for Argentina.

In some ways the French actually won the cup - why?

Messi plays for Paris Saint-Germain.     Shocked

https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/kylian-mbappe-psg-contract-details-...


...



Kylian Mbappe's eye-watering PSG contract leaked including staggering wages and bonus

The contract that Kylian Mbappe signed at Paris Saint-Germain in May is reportedly the biggest in football history, eclipsing Lionel Messi's earnings at Barcelona
Paris Saint-Germain's French forward Kylian Mbappe
The details of Kylian Mbappe's contract have been leaked

ByFelix KeithSports Reporter

    07:13, 24 Oct 2022Updated18:23, 24 Oct 2022


Paris Saint-Germain are committed to paying Kylian Mbappe £546million after pulling out all the stops to keep him from joining Real Madrid in the summer.

PSG announced in May that Mbappe had signed a three-year contract extension with the club, which would keep him in Paris until June 2025. It later emerged that Mbappe had in fact put pen to a two-year contract until June 2024, with the third year optional and up to him, not the club.

Mbappe initially looked set to join Real Madrid when his contract expired at the end of June, but PSG lobbied hard to keep him. That commitment was thrown into doubt earlier this month amid explosive reports that the 23-year-old striker regrets signing the contract and again wants to push for an exit.

If Mbappe does agitate for a move then the financial implications for PSG could be huge, following revelations about his contract from Le Parisien. According to the French newspaper, the French giants have committed to paying Mbappe a whopping €630m (£546m) over the next few years.

It is a figure which they claim makes it the biggest contract in football history, ahead of the €555m Barcelona paid Mbappe’s now teammate Lionel Messi between 2017 and 2021. And it is way bigger than the €267m Neymar will earn over six years from 2017 to 2023 at the club.

Mbappe is now responsible for a quarter of the club’s entire budget and he holds all the cards. His basic wage is reported to be €6m (£5.21m) per month, which is reduced to a more modest €2.7m (£2.34m) after tax, but does represent a tripling of his previous agreement.


There are no performance-related bonuses, such as for helping PSG win the Champions League. But his much-reported signing-on bonus of €180m (£156m) is payable over three instalments due every July – and he will receive all of it, even if he leaves early.

Finally, there is also a loyalty bonus of €70m (£60m) due at the end of every season and it will increase by €10m (£8.68m) for every season he remains at the club.

PSG, however, have strongly denied these reports. A club source told Mirror Football: "Following a sensationalist media story published overnight regarding the Club and one of its players, Paris Saint-Germain confirms the story is completely wrong with not a single detail being correct. The timing of the spurious publication by this media outlet is also surprising, just days before an important Champions League match.

"Paris Saint-Germain will not be dignifying this matter with any further comment. Instead of commenting on rumours and gossip, everyone at the Club is positively focused on the important Champions League game."

The NRL supercoach team picker has been up for a few days if anyone is interested.

Not in this but I accidentally won $3K last season in the tipping.

You know those Sports Bet advertisements? We should just ask Bobby who is going to win. And then we bet against his advice. So far, Bobby is well off the mark for guessing the winner.

Australian sport is Beta male. They only play good if you treat them like losers with a victimhood.
As soon as you praise them, the Socceroos choke.
