World Cup 2022

[dzjermlaw]

I just think about how angry Cristiano Ronaldo will be if Messi wins a World Cup and it makes it hard not to support Argentina.

 

[Tesco's world's smallest turkey]

Now, except for the French one in recent history, world Cup finals have been terribly boring much as a Drag race final is. And If Argentina doesn't get its mandatory penalty goal (and the commentator losing his shit over Messi scoring it ) ça rentre à la maison!

Help a bitch out Moopy. If you had to name one player who defined this year's World Cup season, for whatever reason, who would it be?

 

[RS]

Messi, I guess?

 

[Ha-lucy-nation]

STARLET.

 

[COB]

If we go by the patented test of "player COB had never heard of before but suddenly saw their name everywhere", it has to be Mbappe.

*didn't watch a single match*

 

[win_the_game]

Mbappé for talent.

Gvardiol for thirst traps and cub lovers.

I asked the AI, but it doesn’t know anything after 2021.

Here’s an answer for 2018:

One player who had a significant impact on the 2018 World Cup was Luka Modric of Croatia. Modric was an integral part of Croatia's run to the final, where they ultimately lost to France. He was named the tournament's best player and won the Golden Ball award. Modric's performances in the midfield were key to Croatia's success, as he dictated the tempo of their matches and was also a threat offensively. His leadership on and off the field was also crucial for the Croatian team, and he played a vital role in their historic run to the final.

I've gone with Messi, thanks!

Shall I put 500 on France

 

[Ha-lucy-nation]

NO

I kind of need Argentina to win for Copabet but it must be France.

 

[dzjermlaw]

Things are tense in the Moopy Copabet group. A France victory means that @winter_game will overhaul @Madison by 8 points.

 

[Ich Carniva-la-la-la]

Just went out for 5 minutes. The level of sheer heterosexual stupidity, I just can’t! I hope we lose.

 

[Ha-lucy-nation]

Oh very good. Nice compensation if Argentina bloody win.

What makes you think the Argentinian heterosexuals are behaving any better?

 

[RS]

I may actually not be too sad if Argentina wins, I don’t know why I’m not minding them as much as I used to, but really France MUST win!

 

[Ich Carniva-la-la-la]

Oh they’re not. They’re just not literally IN MY STREET.

Blows my mind that straights live in such a queer-coded city.

I don’t think I’ve ever encountered as much homophobia as I have in Paris.

It’s INFESTED

 

[RS]

OMG I’m so excited

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Whatevah

 

[RS]

Good to see that it started very nicely

 

[RS]

Ok I tried but I take that back.

 

[Soldi Elektronike]

Oh dear

 

[dzjermlaw]

Argentina penalty.

[dzjermlaw]

As noted above, I’m supporting Argentina because it will upset Cristiano Ronaldo if they win, so that’s good.

 

[Madison]

Why is this match on so early?

 

[dzjermlaw]

Why is this match on so early?

Best guess they want it at a watchable time for as much of the world as possible. 7pm UK time would have been the only other serious option and that makes it quite late local time and very, very late for the lucrative Far East markets.

 

[RS]

I can’t see France winning, Argentina is so much stronger so far

 

[Madison]

Oh dear

 

[dzjermlaw]

My sweepstake victory is looking much more secure.
