Finalists last time out too so maybe we shouldn't be so surprised. If they win their next match it will be a phenomenal achievement for a nation that size to reach 2 finals in a row Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlierc Posted December 9, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2022 From the moment Brazil went 1-0 up, they seemed to think and act like it was done. Safe to say it wasn't. Whichever one of Argentina or Netherlands face them is gonna have to be on it given how surprisingly durable the Croatians seem to be.

pink_triangle Posted December 9, 2022 Report Share Posted December 9, 2022 Is it just my nostalgia kicking in, or are most if these teams not at the level of those in the late 90s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlierc Posted December 9, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2022 If you told me this time two years ago that the guys who played Deadpool and Mac from Always Sunny would be showing King Charles around the football club they own in Wales, I'd have been positively bewildered.

charlierc Posted December 9, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2022 Well... this was Argentina's game to lose with 10 minutes of the 90 to go and they've duly done their best to do so given it's now extra-time and a riot has threatened to break out at least twice. Also, what a fucking brilliant move for the Dutch equaliser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fancy either of them to go on and win it after today Wouldn't be so sure. While Croatia's bizarre ability to turn every game into extra time and Argentina's over-reliance on Messi are on thing, Morocco and Portugal are in wait and I'm not sure either will make for pushovers.

No it's not - sadly Croatia, Morocco and (nearly) Netherlands have proved that boring football is well and truly back! Try not to lose & only attempt to play football if you're one or two nil down with 10 minutes left! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DareToDibble Posted December 10, 2022 Report Share Posted December 10, 2022 Messi v Ronaldo final edges closer. Though I’m more convinced with every result that this is finally Englands year again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Euro 2004 was won by Greece, who played a militant brand of defensive football reliant on defensive set-pieces, although the idea that Greece have won more European Championships than England and Belgium, as well as the same number as Portugal and the Netherlands, is still quite something.
