World Cup 2022

So in case we were wondering if we might add Spain to the top favorites after that blowout against Costa Rica the answer is a clear no.

Only France and Brazil can be considered top contenders for the title.

Japan is gone win against those slow turtles wait and c.
Is Williams even a player!?

Deserved draw for both sides.

Germany deserved win imo.

 

[utility73]

Nah. Fair result.

Germany had the higher quality chances plus the close offside goal.

Gavi is great, but there's no way you can watch him and Musiala play and think Gavi is the better player.

Vastly different types. In a 433 as a classic CM/AM I would take Gavi.

 

[Zidane82]

Busquets with face clutching dive there. Never change

Be quiet !

He was blocked clearly blocked by Goretzka - they just showed a slo-mo replay

 

[Windhook]

Fair result. Germany had their chances, Spain did too.

 

[Luftstalag14]

Why didn't Sane shoot?
Bad decision

Because he was being chased at a rather high speed and his angle was blocked by Unai Simon and he ran out of time.

 

[FCBfan22]

Germany deserved win imo.

If you only look at the last 20 minutes, yes.

If you look at 90, a draw is deserved for both sides.

Different profiles. Musiala is more Pedri's postition.

Very different player to Pedri.

More of an AM/10 or wide player than Pedri is.

 

[CatalinR10]

1-1 is my guess.

Bow down

[fergus90]

I think Spain can go all the way. Rodri at a CB is a waste though.

 

[BerkeleyBernie]

Fair result. Asensio's miss...

 

[Horatio]

Bow down

[MENTION=20218]Horatio[/MENTION]

Did you place bet?

 

[JamDav1982]

Poor game. Neither side looks great.

Spain struggle to build up ball from back against a team that will press them.

Gavi was absolutely invisible and has a lot to learn about getting more involved in games.

The Spain front players were all garbage.
