Dunadan 1,103 Posted December 15, 2022 #5191 Share Posted December 15, 2022 Before 2022 at the World Cup, in the knockout phase: - had lost in the round of 16 only once, in 2006 to eventual cup winner Italy; - had lost in the quarterfinals only once, in 1994 to eventual cup winner Brazil; - had lost in the semifinal only once, in 1998 to eventual cup winner France. so far have lost only one final, (obviously to the cup winner). thepharoah 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapaj 299 Posted December 15, 2022 #5192 Share Posted December 15, 2022 Last year Hungarian fans were stigmatized as a fearful extremist creatures because they wore black.

I really don’t like France in Football but Argentina is even worse. who is less likeable? 😂 i will go for France, go Mbappe Messi is just a d**k, and the Argentinian very aggressive behavior is not my cup of tea 🤷🏻♂️ heywoodu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManuCHIL 102 Posted December 15, 2022 #5194 Share Posted December 15, 2022 I find "interesting" that people hate the argentinian behavior It's like if you are an european team its ok to be a sore loser or a bad winner, but if your latinamerican/african/asian team it's completetly reprehensible konig, thepharoah and LuizGuilherme 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An english ref would make some noise here and a dutch after what happened too... konig 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I told u the Qatari will officiate 3rd place match I don't like Marciniak btw, he doesn't have a strong personality and he can't control tense matches , in Arab Cup he played 20 more minutes after the regular time, so I wonder when will this match end maybe after 120 minutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Arab Cup match also made news here but then FIFA went out with the added extra time boost so one can argue that was already in the works before. It's his 5th World Cup finals match and third featuring Argentina Back in 2018 he reffed Argentina vs Iceland and Germany vs Sweden. I was convinced the 3rd place match will go to AFC referee. I just thought the more experienced guy from UAE will get it instead. Tough luck for Makkelie who didn't get a single knockout match but there was no way he would get any Argentina match after that QF outcome and Morocco making the last four with several Dutch-born players. thepharoah 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well not in football. This is right on par with Bouchard refusing to shake hand of her opponent. So try again...
