Re: World Cup 2022
This is an excellent point. I'm not a huge sports fan, but I can tell from times I have attended games in person (rugby in my case of course ) that TV presentation often makes it difficult to discern the teamwork and strategy. Unfortunately, I've not had the opportunity to witness world-class football (soccer) in person.Giovanni wrote: ↑Fri Nov 25, 2022 12:57 pm Can I make a suggestion?
Next time you are watching a football match and a striker is running towards goal, switch your attention away from her/him and focus on the defence players particularly the goalkeeper. Watch their skill in impeding the striker without incurring a penalty and the saves made by the goalie.
It’s like switching from the breath in the nasal passages to the abdomen! It’s involves the entire body/ team.
It's a pity, in the era of wide-screen HDTV, that sports coverage does not take advantage of that by playing multiple cameras in real time, which would give a better view of the teamwork.

France beats Denmark 2-1
This greatly increases Australia's chances for making the knockout stage.

Re: World Cup 2022
Looks like a possible rematch between Mbappe and Messi in the round 16
Should that happen, this time I should put my $$$ on Messi.

Re: World Cup 2022
I hope so. I have to say, I got quite a few laughs reading some of the Daily Mail comments on the game from English fans. Brutal but hilarious.Konchog Thogme Jampa wrote: ↑Fri Nov 25, 2022 11:19 pmUSA only going to get stronger too as the country embraces Football/Soccer as you always produce top athletes
Re: World Cup 2022
I will definitely watch the coming match between USA and Iran, not for football but the drama.

Re: World Cup 2022
They have a Dream Team this year. The excitement in the air is electric. They've got this huge mega screen down on Copacabana beach. Futebol is not a sport here. It's a zealous religion. Watching Richarlison was like watching Bruce Lee defeat ping pong champs with his namchuks.
Re: World Cup 2022
Matches today:
Serbia vs. Cameroon: 3-3
Ghana vs. South Korea: 3-2 (still live as I type this)
Still to come: Brazil vs. Switzerland, and Portugal vs. Uruguay.
Lots of goals.

US vs. Iran: The Most Political World Cup Gets Its Most Politically Charged Match.
Looks like Qatar will side with their Muslim brothers and USA will get knocked out soon.

It's samsara, my buddy, there's folk in Brazil who think Beyonce is a real goddess. A Muslim takeover is coming from Paraguay. Bullshit is universal.
