Netherlands equalised on 90+11 sp off downstairs to watch what should be a penalty shootout.

Catfish 12-09-22 04:21 PM

No i would not watch it. Ahem.
:oops:

For me this Tournament is over-Both of my favorite teams are now gone.
They are Germany and the Netherlands.

Gonna be interesting to see how far Morocco will go. However I think their end station will come tomorrow. If they should manage to beat Ronaldo & Co I say they will reach Final.

This just in: Grant Wahl, noted Amercan soccer sports writer and soccer podcaster, collapsed and died in his seat at the Netherlands/Argentina match. He'd been 'under the weather' with apparent bronchitis, recieving antibiotics, during his visit to Qatar. His big concern was "coughing during a podcast"...he was 49.

I pick Croatia vs Morocco for the final:hmmm:

Aktungbby 12-10-22 12:28 PM

Final:Morocco 1; Portugal 0; so Africa still has a finger in the pie...I think France will take England on PK's: but could be pleasantly surprised...:hmmm:

Jimbuna 12-10-22 01:20 PM

Everything is up for grabs tonight and the French have a good chance of victory since this isn't a battle :)

Good riddance!



I comment always after Portugal is eliminated (or won...). I didn't expected we got this far, but today I should had win, we had everything to it.

But, again, terrible play. We have a good team (some say super) but a terrible coach, and I agree.

This coach should had exited after the last Euro Cup, but noooo.

France up 1-0 at the half. England with more time& shots in front of the French nets, but the French goaltender is really on his game today and saving the situation....51 minutes is too early; I expect England, (Kane?) to tie and go to PK's for the decision....:arrgh!: oops he just did on a direct penalty kick on goal!:Kaleun_Applaud: Kane went to the net's right as the goalie opted to dive left...:oops: that's always a 50-50% decision! EDIT: England just missed a beautifully position header to the center's point blank shot; blocked by the diving goalie...and France just scored goal 2 at 77 minutes in response....and Kane just missed a direct penalty kick(over the net) at 84 min....Now into 8 minutes extra time...France playing an eat-up-the clock control game to save a tie score by desperate England...England misses last penalty kick: Final 2-1: France advances.Weird, I said it would be on penalty kicks...and it was-2 missed ones by England!

An funny off topic input to Catfish comment

1 meter you said-

I've just seen and heard NASA saying that some round and white object had passed nearby Artemis I on it's approach to earth. NASA said that this object which originate from somewhere in the Middle east was heading for the Moon.

Well, that's it for another World Cup.

France slightly edged it but it is difficult playing against twelve men.

That referee was a clown and not fit to officiate at such a high level.

Exocet25fr 12-11-22 06:35 AM

:)..........anyway!

Wenesday: the next battle.....:D

That's Geordi for "We was robbed!":O: Actually the French played a rope-a-dope style; surrendering initiative to the opposition, inviting the pressure and striking unerringly in the counter. Their possession time rate averages 48% . The key point was the play by England where the ball was passed beautifully to the center idead in front of the nets who missed the goal; to which the French immediately cleared, counter-attacked and scored their second goal. Their subsequent underdog eat-the-clock play and two missed penalty kicks by England finished it. France used the same tactic four years ago to win the 2018 WC in Russia. Small wonder as French manager Deschamps is a former midfielder who captained the French team in 1998(3-0 over Brazil!!) & 2000. The next game should be interesting as semifinal opponent Morocco uses the same tactic...:hmmm:; averaging just 38% possession time in the 5 games thus far in this FIFA tournement. Morocco has however lost the 'element of surprise' it has amazed with in getting to the semifinals...and will have to 'man up' against' the technically superior French defending champs.

Jimbuna 12-12-22 01:05 PM

My heart tells me Croatia v Morocco in the final but my head tells me Argentina v France.

mapuc 12-12-22 01:12 PM

The French coach has to find some kind of canopen in order to open up for the tight Morocco's defence they have.
