Miscellaneous That World Cup Thread

Blimey you are a demanding pundit. If we can't count on the very consistent, prolific and talented striker in Harry Kane, then we might as well not turn up.

25/26 season for Bayern:
  • 31 goals in 36 league appearances
  • 13 Champions League goals in 14 appearances
  • 7 goals in 11 appearances in German cup competitions
Plus even better stats the previous season. Plus doing consistently well for England (our all time top scorer with 78 in 112 appearances) and for a not very good Tottenham side.

Maybe you could suggest some strikers who will be at the World Cup that you would be able to count on ? !

I love football but I don't watch football on TV or screens. It's the same with hockey. Footbal for me is when boys, girls, women and men get together and play football in parks, gardens, the football field at the school ..... . I like pond hockey as well.
 
In Breda a football enthusiast became blind. He still went to the football match of his club because of the community. Just as there are non religious people who go to church not all football supporters come to see the game. Is it the same with reed talk?
 
I was in Boston when Bruins won the Stanley Cup in 2011. Went to a sports bar with four big screens. There was also some kind of band playing. Most of the visitors were texting on thier phones. Bizzare! Bruins goalkeeper Tim Thomas was great.

You have completely misinterpreted what I have written twice now. I wrote that YOU CAN'T COUNT HIM OUT!!! Meaning I value him very highly and he's your best shot at winning it all. I didn't write that you can't count on him. Of course you can count on him. That's what not counting him out means. Here in the States, at least.

Are we good?
 
Good people. Most of the known world takes interest in this tournament. Some players actually still feel massive pride in their home nation and even if they're not going to win it all, just to see their countryman play their sport of choice against teams from around the world... well... it's meaningful.

If you want to crap on it. That's fine. Then go find a reed thread or maybe go berate someone who wants to take the lacquer off their horn. You don't need to linger... if that's your life.

Ah, I see. I don’t think a Brit would express it in that way - it’s confusing to us.

I’m good, you’re good, we’re all good.

“Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I don’t like that attitude. I can assure them it is much more serious than that.” - Bill Shankly

I watch some football on TV. I think our Swedish domestic legue "Allsvenskan" is interesting to follow. Of course not better, but a lot more "organic" ... . Today I can see new Swedish players in the national team. They moved to England, Italy .... in thier teens and never played in "Allsvenskan".

When I see scenes on TV from Paris .... I think it's better to delaquer or polish a sax. Or to cook ..... .
 
The U.S. showed me something yesterday. An almost complete game. I suppose the commentator had a point in that now that the team has been chosen, that pressure is gone. Now they can just play, and they certainly did that yesterday against Senegal. One more friendly on Saturday with Germany though, might tell a different story. Just hope they keep it up. It's almost here.
 
I like watching Premier League and World Cup matches.

I don’t like watching football/soccer with mostly semi-competent or incompetent players. Possession, in such cases, generally goes back and forth without any real plays being developed.

That is all I have to say about this topic, unless my statements are called into question. In that case, I will babble on further, if and as necessary.
