The more the merrier in a WC, people don't have to watch all games and the last 8 teams will be the same as every other WC.

Now let's all remember that Italy played against KSA 2 weeks ago and they did manage to concede.

meh... people watch WC for high quality football in group stages? stop moaning about low quality football, this isn't new regarding asian team, unless you're twelve years old.

Wild when people like to shit on world cup match quality.

Ghana - Uruguay 2010 is still the greatest match I've ever seen, and as a game of football it was a shitshow.

Give me lesser world cup teams playing like they give a shit over sterile club football every time. (Once every 4 years anyway)

see? this is what i mean, the WC even brought us an old poster like Kalac back :lol::star:

the worst thing with the world cup is that we have jobs and can't sit at home and watch every shitty game like when we were children.

You don't even have dedicated threads for the groups anymore. :(


World cups were a magical place pre-2015 when I had no job and could happily watch 6 hours of garbage tier football all day.

Iran vs Morocco will actually be a good game, both squads are solid with Morocco having an edge.

Egypt vs Uruguay could be another case of 5-0 or could be a surprise upset.
