OT: 2022 World Cup Thread
- Thread starter cshelley
- Start date
Messi gets his pocket picked and France scores right after that on a fantastic shot by Mbappe. Wow.
The downside is we now have a much greater chance of PKs deciding this.
If only I had also said 2-0 is the most dangerous lead - then I could be an analyst, lol...
That penalty plus 2nd goal is such a Rutgers thing … Argentina was dominating … one of their best offensive threats was substituted out.
Hoping Argentina pulls out a miracle!
Pretty sure Argentina loses. Why? Because I’m rooting for them.

Holy crap, what great end-to-end play during the last 10 minutes or so. So much fun to watch. Just pray it doesn't end in PKs...
I’m a pretty level headed person but when it comes to sports I can be superstitious as they come. I was hoping the board jinx might have gotten invoked with all my it’s over posts above. I did believe it was over but was looking for some karmic help if any is out there haha.
Let’s see how it ends.

HA! HA! What an awful game. The WC finals is going to be decided by a gimick.....penalty kicks. Let's also decide:
SB on field goals
Stanley Cup on a shootout
World Series on HR Derby
NBA Finals on free throws
Soccer is so lame. LOL!
Their defensive performance for the first 75 min or so I'm not sure I've ever seen better. But yeah - might have spent the gas tank. French substitutions running rampant.
I haven't been able to watch since after the Argentina PK in the first half.
Sounds like it's giving off 2005 Champions League vibes when Liverpool came storming back.
Thinking the same thing … as I typed that I thought Argentina would score. Of course not.
Yeah, Argentina really woke up in the last 5 minutes with two great chances to score, denied by some desparate defending by France. Please, someone score and win...
Can Argentina hold on for the last 10 minutes? It's going to be insane pressure from France...
