FIFA World Cup: Qatar 2022 • Page 4

for now I’d settle on players not acting like their limbs are about to burst. one Ecuadorian fell naturally and then his body inexplicably contorted and flipped in the opposite direction. I get drawing a foul, I don’t get this comical exaggeration. Should be it’s own foul imo.

 

Lebron is just as bad as anything you’ll ever see on a soccer pitch. Exaggeration gets the ref’s attention and forces them to make a call. Learn to live with it, haha. Ecuador isn’t nearly close to the worse team for doing it you’ll see this tournament (Brazil, Portugal, Mexico…).

 

I've got so little enthusiasm for this. Kinda want Messi to win it with Argentina. Otherwise, not sure I'm going to bother watching many matches at all.

 

I mean most leagues with VAR don’t play defense like that though.

 

Oh that was defense?

 

It’s baffling that they had 12 years knowing they’d be in the WC and that’s the best they could do.

 

They’re actually a much better side than they looked today. I suspect the players not playing a competitive match for over two months didn’t help.

My productivity at work is teetering on full-on collapse for the next few weeks.

 

My boss scheduled a meeting for kick off.

I will not be attending lol.

 

What the hell? I've blocked out my diary with very non-suspect meeting titles, so hopefully nobody tries to invite me to anything at those times...

 

Depressing
