Re: FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022

I love it because I learned about the game from Arsene Wenger, who often says the game the players play on the pitch is an expression of themselves. The time-keeping in soccer is one of it's truly...

Re: FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022

No whistle to whistle number yet, but including pre-game per Nielsen, this was the most watched English-Language men's World Cup Final yet, 16,783,000 viewers. Interested in the actual...

Re: FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022

Same, it felt excessive, but correct? Like I understand the only reason my brain immediately identifies it as "excessive" is because I swear there is a TV rule that you're not really supposed to go...

Re: FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022

Unrelated to anything else going on in this thread, how did we feel about the semi-automatic offside? I thought it was pretty quick, and would like to see it implemented anywhere it can be with VAR....

Re: FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022

The antics are a perfect encapsulation of **** talk in sports imo. You get to gloat when you win, and you get dunked on mercilessly when you lose. Like imagine he does that shoulder shimmy after the...

Re: FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022

I guess I'm gonna have to ask for the "rules of celebration" since y'all are gonna be so sensitive about it.

EDIT: I don't want any confusion with the new people here, but this is sarcasm. I ain't...

Re: FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022

Depending on which modeling you're using, .5 XG is pretty significant.

Also, the only thing that matters for Emi's trash talk/being a dick/etc for me is that he won. We can sit and talk about his...

Re: FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022

Figuring out why certain players have won certain titles is a level of sleuthing I aspire to. We just had a whole thing about Gavi winning best young player, and many thought he was not deserving.

Re: FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022

Also why I love it lmao, man can't help himself but talk **** all the time. I get that's why people hate him, and if he wasn't an Arsenal lad, I might even have slightly different opinions on him,...

Re: FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022

Emiliano Martinez is everything I love about the game, the personality, the ****housery, the game is nothing without their mastermind villians, and to many that will be Emi. Without the passion,...

Re: FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022

I love FM, and it's basically one of the only video games I play these days. It is a spreadsheet game though, so while it is deep and immersive, you play as the manager, not as the players.

Re: FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022

Deschamps lack of tactical acumen getting exposed.

Re: FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022

just gotta hope both teams will care about the 3rd place match, still feels like the third place match is just cruel and unusual punishment, especially this year with all the injuries and selection...

Re: FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022

The Qatar final, Mbappe and Messi both on the payroll haha.



I think that's a pen, if he just continues his run he gets fouled by the GK, so by not giving him a pen you're penalizing him for...

Re: FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022

I would've loved for Gareth Southgate to face the media and answer the question "Why didn't you use arguably the best penalty taker in the world" if whomever he chose instead missed it instead of...

Re: FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022

They are incredibly different to be honest. I disagree with Kreb's initial assessment that they weren't given tactical instructions, I believe it to be the opposite in fact, I think they were given...
