Men's Football FIFA World Cup 2022

I think Argentina has by far the most fans in Qatar. They also seem to be more enthusiastic about this cup than pretty much anyone else, so in a way they would be the most fitting champion. Too bad that it is pretty much impossible to cheer for this team. I would prefer England or Morocco to win the cup. I hope that none out of France/Argentina/Portugal wins the cup, but the odds of that happening are almost nonexistant.

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

Even Messy was involved, I feel I'm watching Kyrgios vs Wawrinka after match :d

Is not my intention to defend this behavior but i can explain the reasons: the declarations of Van Gaal before the match were considerer provocative and the same with the player who score the two goals, how many times did you see Messi doing things like this?

I see many saying that the referee complains are ridiculous but i have to agree with Messi when he says this referee was horrible

Well I don’t live in POR anymore but I follow the news and tweets and all, and I can summarize the past days prior to Morocco:

 

- Ronaldo

- Ronaldo did not celebrated with team mates! Shame!

- Ronaldo actually celebrated and it was a lie. Shame on those who insult Ronaldo!

- We must retire Ronaldo, he is horrible

- Don’t disrespect Ronaldo! I prefer Ronaldo to play than Portugal to win (yes someone actually said this on live tv)

- players being interviewed constantly asked about Ronaldo, answering “erg, please let’s stop talking about Ronaldo”

 

 

This is worse because media love this kind of soap opera, specially one tv channel that many years ago got their micro thrown into a lake by Ronaldo (this tv channel is the worse you can imagine, making up lies of everyone) and now that he is old and not good anymore they are using this as revenge and keep talking about him (in a negative way) every minute.

 

apart from that, I think the feeling is a nervous one , due to the motivation of Morocco and the due to the effects of all this stupid Ronaldo soap opera on the players.

    • Small thing there, men's boxing has the same number of events and athletes as in Paris. Women's boxing also has the same athlete quota, but with one more event now.
    • Ah yes, today was the dreaded "IOC news day"... As usual there is barely anything to smile at.   Men's boxing losing more weights is absurd, especially since their "gender parity agenda" is out of the window after switching the football.   Swimming getting the 50s in an already bloated program was sadly inevitable. With US and AUS the next hosts, I'm surprised swimming doesn't have 100 events to begin with.    All the new mixed stuff is Frankenstein as usual, especially the tennis and gymnastics. No one asks for these, even within these sports, but the IOC only care about "Let's have all the stars interact more with each other for maximum TV talk and social engagement, who cares about sporting traditions".   Climbing splitting the events is a positive, though for me personally I didn't see any problem with the combined. It actually showed the true overall best climbers, while now the specialists in one event will get more chances to sneak a medal.   Host sports with 6 teams are a joke and shouldn't award medals! Have them as exhibition events with a trophy etc. for the winners, but shouldn't be included in the medal table. But what do I know.   And still no news on the most important thing for me - extending the Games to 3 full weeks. Things will be crammed, crammed again..

    • is this the right place to ask how on earth do you get to cortina d'ampezzo without having to drive? Are they building a train station there at all? wanting to book tickets for curling but it looks like too much effort if im honest
    • As probably one of the biggest swimming fans on the forum, not too thrilled about stroke 50's being added. There's already enough events.   However, if it means that they're getting rid of semifinals for the 200m events, then that's a trade off I'll to take.
    • David Popovici set a personal and national best of 21.83 in 50m freestyle at the Romanian National Championship, becoming the first man in history under 22, 47 and 1:43 . He'll probably be aiming for the 50-100-200m freestyle triple in LA.
    • Given men's football is the one event in all of the Olympics where the best athletes aren't allowed to compete... not sure how this move is "pure wokism". The women's tournament is essentially a mini world cup, the men's tournament is a side show we tolerate because it generates ticket sales.   Would be a different story, of course, if the men's event wasn't a U23 competition that isn't even within a FIFA window.
    • Eh, not sure I agree. The team events are basically a free gold medal for China, so they are trading two free gold medals for one free gold medal and two likely gold medals. Doubles is a format where upsets are much more likely to happen than team matches.   Either way, I think from a spectator standpoint it is a win. The doubles tournaments will be much more interesting than the team tournaments were.
