FIFA World Cup 2022

[Pozz]

Fanboy haters sure, but both fandoms are obnoxious as hell.

Overzealous fandoms in general no matter the subject :P

[MCMLXXXII]

I'm not a Messi hater at all, I prefer him over CR, but after the quarter finals he, and the rest of his team can just fuck off. Sure, the Netherlands also misbehaved at the shootout, but that was after the damage was done by that terrible ref. The Argentinians got all riled up after Van Gaal was misquoted by Argentinian media.
So tomorrow it's Allez les Bleus for me.

Fanatism in itself is obnoxious.

Hell, even I joke around about how much media attention Messi receives like when watching the Argentinian transmission of a match, you could actually believe that the commentator is busting a nut every time Messi touches a ball.

But anyway, while I am clearly based, I hope Argentina takes the WC tomorrow.
If not, well, at least I hope for a great match

Let's goooo, Croatia, remove some kebab for all of us

[MCMLXXXII]

That escalated quickly. Hoping for a nice farewell for Modric, who always stood in the shadow of Messi and CR.

What does Morocco have to do with kebab?

Beautiful goal

Croatians getting mad because Morocco kept playing while Kramaric, getting injured outside the field, walked back to the center circle and decided to sit down there.

[Gorsameth]

sigh, again with players shoving a ref. Every single one of those should be another yellow.

[Airlick]

It's funny how the game I was almost sure would feature a ref clowning it out with a high chance of a scandal has some of the best refereeing in the WC, though. Not that the bar was set high, but still.

[MCMLXXXII]

But why do you call Moroccans kebab?

But why do you call Moroccans kebab?

Muslims = kebab, no need to differentiate when you're shitposting a bit. If we're being so precise, Croatians also aren't famous for removing kebab, rather for removing the kebab removers.

Infracted - Let's not start giving religions questionable nicknames.

[MCMLXXXII]

Like I thought. Like naming us cheese heads, couscous or tajine would be more fitting but you went for that. Kinda sad, especially considering Morocco was one of the pleasant surprises this WC.
Just so you know, kebab is Turkish/Ottoman.

Allez les Bleus

[eschatological]

Allez les Bleus

Do they not have the sentiment in Europe of wanting (if you've already lost) to lose to the best? When my NFL team loses in the playoffs, I want that team to win it all, because it makes our loss "justified" because we lost to the best/it was destiny that they were going to win. It's why I've been cheering for KC in the playoffs the past few years after they eliminate the Bills, because I want to know we lost to the best.

Not when they are a bunch of A-holes

Walking into the penalty box and lie down. Eventually you get a penalty...

[eschatological]

You can breathe too hard on Di Maria and he'll go down there.

[Northern Goblin]

Stop me if you've heard this one before, Messi scoring a penalty that was questionable at best.

[Xanjori]

France just arent in this game at all.

[Makabreska]

Stop me if you've heard this one before, Messi scoring a penalty that was questionable at best.

Dunno, every commentator I am following say penalty was 100% valid.

[draynay]

Stop me if you've heard this one before, Messi scoring a penalty that was questionable at best.

If the French keep on like this at least it will only be a footnote.

[Northern Goblin]

That second goal was bloody brilliant to be fair. But back to the penalty, Di Maria would go down under a light breeze.

[eschatological]

If the French come back from this it'll probably be considered one of the greatest WC Finals ever.
