News: The World Cup is here!

Views:

Based on the data available, Qatar loving stink, Ecuador are going to win the whole thing, and every non-Qatar match is going to be completely deserted.

This is the thread for posting about things that happen during the group stage. Someone else can do the MDT today though. Excited to spend my lunch break watching England, miss half Senegal-Netherlands on my way home, and eat my tea watching the usmnt

"Qatar 2022 is finally here and we celebrated with a mesmerising opening ceremony, passion in the stands and exciting football on the pitch," Nasser Al Khater, the chief executive of FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, said.

"Our nation is gripped by football fever and the party will last all the way to the final on 18 December."

The Qataris were gripped by so much football fever and passion they all had to leave halfway through yesterday's game, apparently

We had not left it yet, but when I would wake in the night, I would lie, listening, homesick for it already.

Apart from today it's proper wall to wall football all day this week and i'm glad i have the week off

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

Very legit, all three pretty clearly offside

I don't think having half an arm ahead of the defender should make you offside tbh

Still funny tho

Not really sure which thread to put this in so going with the general discussion one but I've been enjoying Match of the Day's Top 10s with Lineker, Shearer and Micah Richards.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p0dc9xq8/match-of-the-day-top-10-world-cup-2022-alan-and-micahs-alltime-world-cup-xi

Mainly worth watching for Micah Richards tbh but the dynamic between the three is good fun.

Me neither. Nor do the rules, thankfully. What about the Argentinian with the shoulder ahead though?

My friend who wants to become Canadian because he is convinced the USA will be a desert that averages 120 degrees fahrenheit days most of the year in the next 10 years is visiting Canada now and he said they are "very positive people about the game" when it was going on when he went to a bar. I remember going to a beer garden 8 years ago for USA vs Belgium and all the USA support being nothing but blind positivity too... it's a funny old game indeed. He is broke brained because of recent politics and hyperbolic climate talk so now he wants to be Canadian and is probably rooting for them over his home country lol.
