Ohsee, I assume you watched Brazil vs Serbia.
If not...you indeed missed a Thanksgiving Day sized portion of Jogo Bonito, with ghosts of the Ginga howling.

I mean you do have the most representation, so you will buck the trend every once in a while. You are right though, this is marathon.mate wrote: ↑Fri Nov 25, 2022 7:10 pm
You mean like having a WC in Brazil.
Sure, I guess a team like Germany than would REALLY get exposed.
Come on man. Let's not exaggerate. Again, it's a marathon and this WC in particular is being played in unusual circumstances. Euro teams have done well everywhere...and still might in this WC.
No doubt Equador was the better team. I was surprised how slow and unimaginative the Dutch were. Equador in contrast showed a lot of dynamism and speed in the final 1/3, crafting a few nice chances.

If Brazil falters, a European team will probably be the winner of this WC. Europeans also won in South Africa as well as Brazil.airwolex wrote: ↑Fri Nov 25, 2022 7:15 pmI mean you do have the most representation, so you will buck the trend every once in a while.

All I'm saying is it's not far fetched to say Europeans would still win at a similar rate if more WCs were outside Europe.

Game on
One thing is for sure. The USA won’t lose because of a lack of effort. They’ll leave it on the field

Options have narrowed for Senegal. The game against Ecuador is going to be Spicy.

I am sure you enjoyed it that much more since it was Serbia at the receiving end.
This current Serbia looks stronger than Croatia in my view. They look like they are selected with size as a deliberate consideration to rough up their opponents.

Chief, I watched it. Brazil did not beautiful the game the way Ecuador did it today, except for Richarlison's incredible second goal. Brazil mostly put me to sleep.

Senegal just need to beat Ecuador. No if or but

No, like Croats, Serbs are naturally tall people but smarter than their catholic brethrens .

I tell ya Scholl, you need to stop visiting extreme nationalist web sites for your info.
Like I said, this Serbian team is good. But the average height is a problem against fleet footed teams. You saw it in this game.
Finally, Croatia overall outperforms Serbia in sports, definitely football. I expect you to root for us against Canada. Thanks my friend.

Only you would know who visits nationalists sites. Maybe I’ll check the Croat govt site for a start. I could care less about Croatia and Canada. I hope it’s a very ugly game that an unprecedented actions takes place, where FIFA deducts points from both teamsmate wrote: ↑Fri Nov 25, 2022 11:19 pmscholl wrote: ↑Fri Nov 25, 2022 10:55 pmNo, like Croats, Serbs are naturally tall people but smarter than their catholic brethrens .

Of course a higher center of gravity is a problem against a well planted team. The Serbs aren’t as bad a team compared to recent years.
