🏈Sports [MEGATHREAD] FIFA World Cup

[Octavia]

I thought in terms of winning the tournament but yes Kudos to Fifa for increasing the number of teams so small nations too can enter the competition

Winning i think France

Hope Portugal ( while being dutch )

I think Portugal is a solid 10 man team + Static Ronaldo .

Dutch center seemed quite weak during the Sweden match.

France is overall just good all round.

I am guessing it's either England or Brazil

Rain modifier +20% speed for Netherlands

 

[Octavia]

The rain is getting annoying, so many slip and slides the last 5 minutes

Win from Japan !!

0-0 half time, hmm.

Why the f*ck do you need a hydration break in the rain...??

hydration breaks are just commercial breaks in disguise, that's the sole reason for their existence. Fox got over $330 million for all of these commercial breaks

hydration breaks are just commercial breaks

So true.

Looks like
#1 NL
#2 JP
#3 Sweden

#3 Sweden

Yeah, 1-1 was ok.

 

[Octavia]

Yeah, 1-1 was ok.

At least not playing vs Brasil next

yeah, and they'll face... Morocco, Brazil, France (in this order if things go according to plan, ie. France don't lose to Norway tomorrow)

FIFA and the USA have made all strides to screw this WC by eliminating at least 1/3 of the favorites in the first 2 knock-out rounds.

- The Dutch have a high chance of losing to Morocco
- Japan (while not favorites, but still a quality team) will most likely lose to Brazil
- France and England will most likely meet in the round of 16, so one of these huge favorites will get screwed
- Spain vs Argentina are also set to meet in the round of 16, so another favorite thrashed by the FIFA / US cartel
- Germany are anything but a quality team, so they'll likely not make it even to the quarter finals

But suuuure, we will get to "enjoy" garbage USA vs Bosnia, and then garbage USA vs Egypt, and so on... This WC is so pathetic, I'm not even angry or sad anymore that I've not watched all of the matches...

And if they're going to extend the half time to 30 minutes during the final like they said they would... well, not gonna watch the final either... although, by that point I'll probably not be interested in it anyway since none of the teams that I usually root for in WCs (Italy, Germany, Netherlands, etc) will make it all the way to the final...

I'm telling you, unless the USA are made champions in the FIFA headquarters this WC belongs to France or England (whichever one comes out victorious from their direct clash, as - in the other branch - there will be no one left with a roster deep enough to be able to play and win 8 matches)

So, go out and bet on either France or England now when the odds are still decent...

Yup, that's exactly it. I believe it was something FIFA adopted from football.
