Messi and the Qatari’s definitely poisoned them all. Seeing quite a lot of tin hats on here recently. Bitterness is an ugly, ugly trait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spike Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 Just now, Stan said: You said in the semi-final thread (I think it was you) that you were beginning to hate Messi . And have called him a 'Qatari whore'. It's a weird thing to hate penalties. Or is it how they're given (in which case I can understand as some of the calls are very questionable, even aside from this World Cup). He is a Qatari whore but I don’t hate him. I hate his personality cult. He is a remarkably uninteresting individual outside of the game Penalties are boring, they aren’t exciting, they change games for the worse, I hate seeing a contest end because of something so banal. They are barely goals, just a training exercise between two players, I want to see teamwork, I want to see live goals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the solution if no penalties are given? Wouldn't that undo the teamwork if there wasn't a penalty and not giving that team an opportunity to score?

I never saidthey need to be removed, or that they aren’t a solution to a problem. But just because they are a part of the sport doesn’t mean I enjoy having a team sport decided by the only aspect of the game that has no team involvement There are other answers but they just created different problems, it is a fundamental problem with the sport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan Posted December 18, 2022 Author Administrator Share Posted December 18, 2022 Wait, Argentina get the first booking? That's not in the Qatari script is it?!

Reluctant Striker Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 For me it was always kind of a choice between 2 horrible things. But for some period of time after this, Villa may just have the World Cup winning goalkeeper in their team. I don't speak Spanish, but Ronaldo seems to deserve the 2-1 to Messi vibes. Also, how ludicrously unfair 2 in a row & 3 within 24 years would be.. this is exactly the first half I wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason I bring that up is because she is as neutral as anyone I know, and if he notices surely that says something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They depend too much on him. Yeah this plus Mbappe basically being cut off as an outlet for them to counter with has really killed France’s attacking ability. Their midfield has generally been very poor, whereas Argentina are playing like they’re in a World Cup final and are fighting as hard as they can.

Toinho Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 Di Maria best on ground for me so far. Messi been good obviously. But let’s not take credit away from Di Maria who also won Messi a copa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inverted Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 I personally can't believe that teams that sit in their own side of the pitch all the time and don't pick their best defenders in their natural positions tend to give away more penalties.
