'That Did Not Age Well' - World Cup Edition


Recommended Posts

As the group stages are are coming to a close. Lets recall all those comments we made before the World Cup that did not age well.

 

I'll start with myself:

 

I said Australia are on the same level as Saudi Arabia.

I think Egypt will get past the groups. Its not all about Salah, he's their star but there is talent in the Egyptian league as well as its the best league in Africa and there is a lot of under the radar talent at Al-Ahly and Zamalek. Its all about beating Russia really, which I think is possible.

These Costa Ricans are fucking pansies. 

Wonder if Brazil will get the same shite as England got for drawing 0-0 against Costa Rica 4 years ago...

@Mel81x and me backing the Saudis that they aren't that bad before the opener :dam:

Well technically they did win a game which for them is some kind of accomplishment in itself against a country that was tipped to walk all over them too.

TBH, I still stand by that. Spain are a much better team with Aspas than Costa 

Nothing serious just recalling some moments when we were proven wrong even if we had good reasons.

@The Rebel CRS saying Peru would surprise at the World Cup.

To be honest, Peru have been unlucky to have not grabbed themselves a goal in this world cup, they didn't get hammered by their opponents and some of their passing moves at times have been nice on the eye if you ask me, although they seriously lack any form of firepower up front, a star forward/attacking player to do the damage in these positions, then they may have done better and gotten out of their group, which would have been a success on its own considering the difficulty of it. It definitely hasn't been a good World Cup on their behalf though after coming into the competition on a lengthy unbeaten run.

That would have been funny if you yourself didn't also think that xD

I also changed my mind after seeing them vs Uruguay. I think I was one of the few people on here to predict them to lose to Russia.

Some people on here think I was being ridiculous when I said Peru would do well. We should have finished our chances against Denmark and it was our own fault we didn't, and conceded a very unlucky goal against France and then they sat back making things difficult as they are a superior team.

Its true a lot of our players underperformed (Trauco and Rodriguez the 2 big culprits) but some of the claims that we've been shit has been ridiculous. Its just so certain people can get the better of me and its quite sad to see.

When you go 15 matches unbeaten in the hardest qualification continent in the world, its natural to think you'd do well in the World Cup.

You haven't won, and you haven't scored. Fucking Panama has more goals that you do, and they are in a much tougher group.
