FIFA WORLD CUP 2022

When do the US play? Or did they already?
 
It's tomorrow morning US time.. they should be showing it everywhere, it's against Holland.. should be a cracking match!
Thanks for the info
 
Netherlands are the only team left I have some interest in supporting. So far they are not disappointing vs boring USA team.
 
US needs to find a clinical finisher. The best teams punish other teams mistakes. Dumb goal given up to Dumbfries but they have some positives to take from this.

This bloke was a known clinical finisher, don't think he'll be available in 4 years time tho.
 
Top effort from our lads this morning, never been prouder of them. Hundreds of thousands of people gathered around the country to watch them, no team brings the country together like the Socceroos. Lets go win the Asian Cup and come back again in 4 years.

This was Melbourne this morning, supposedly you can't buy flares from BCF for love or money at the moment.

Similar scenes in Sydney.

Interesting that your mind went straight to a toilet, do a bit of toilet trading do you? I'd have thought that sort of thing would be illegal in Thailand, getting around public toilets and engaging in rendezvous with strange men for cash? You disgust me ONELOVE....

I’ll leave you and your toilet alone..

I’m gonna go root for Japan.. u know., the REAL Asian qualified team unlike the Aussies who have piggyback off of the Asian quota for YEARS now..

They're looking pretty ****ed right now in the shootout.
 
Would you ever call Australia an Asian country?

No right?

Then how in the world does Australia get into the World Cup with Asian Quota?

Of course Australia is an Asian country its in bloody Asia!!! The Oceania Confederation should be abolished and folded into Asia, (This would actually help new Zealand) but this won't happen cause too many useless officials are helping themselves to cushy FIFA roles and funding for the better of the game to be put forward.

LOL .. go tell that to your beloved Pauline Hanson that keep calling out those "bloody Asians" to leave your country.

I'd kick her to death.

This country is ****ed tho, got an energy crisis, cost of living crisis, we are net exporter of energy, the government is trying to cap domestic energy prices to reduce cost of living and inflationary pressure on businesses and what happens? The state governments are whinging about losing royalties and want the feds to compensate them. At the same time the mining companies still make out like bandits... Fortunately interest rates just went up again so the everyone but the banks are getting screwed even harder....

Partly, government borrowing to provide income support to people during covid has increased the price of money and put upward pressure on interest rates. its not like they had any other options tho. That coupled with the war in Ukraine and i suspect a fair bit of profiteering from corporate monopolies has led to an inflation rate of 7%+. The energy stuff is the product of the Liberal Parties 15 year long campaign to use energy and climate policy as a political weapon as a result we've had no coherent investment or planning in the energy sector since the mid 00's. Its ridiculous how we collect taxes or income off our own natural resources, the government of Qatar makes more money of our natural gas than the Australian people. All this coupled with stagnant wage growth for the last decade is going to put a lot of people to the wall.

Could be worse tho we could be the UK.

Wow that’s bleak… Is home affordability still too high for most?
 
I am rooting hard for Spain to kick Marocco out. There is a huge Maroccan comunity here in Belgium and every time they win a match their massal celebrations end up in riots, clashes with police and plundering. So sick of it.
