And so enter Brazil. Will the usual carnival created by their fans happen in Doha, and if not will its absence affect the players?

Not that I'm watching, as I don't have a television
But I see that the worthless evil cunt bastard filth have allowed this match to kick off between teams playing in shirts that could be indistinguishable

Switzerland lead through Embolo scoring the kind of goal that the country of his birth tried several times to score in the first half.
With Brazil to come, Cameroon will need to press now.Last edited by Jah Womble; 24-11-2022, 11:31.

Ta.
I don't want to jump on the anti-Sam Matterface bandwagon*, who I don't think is dreadful, just bland with no recognisable sense of humour or obvious character, but he might want to try to tweak his style to be a bit more like that of his colleague.

Oh, and he sounds really smug and patronising. I'm prepared to admit that I have a blinkered view in this regard though, and can be miles wide of the mark on it.

I have two main issues with Matterface, which are arguably the same thing. 1. His desperation to have the "They think it's all over" moment, and 2. His complete lack of spontaneity - it feels like he's written everything down beforehand and will try and shoehorn his phrases in regardless of what is happening on the pitch.

Yes, I'd go along with a lot of that, though I expect that a lot of commentators are itching to deliver an iconic phrase during a big game and have one or two pre-prepared.

Imagine when there are 8 or 9 at a 48 team tournament, plus Canada. Lots of prizes for good build-up, even dominant possession, but out with three (or two in a group of three) 0-1 losses.
Has this also been a randomly bad tournament for countries starting with the letter C? And Q of course (but that's not random at all). E doing OK though, except Egypt not qualifying.Last edited by Satchmo Distel; 24-11-2022, 16:05.

I have just a rather over-excited report on the first half from my daughter, complete with acting some of the highlights.
Based on her report, Serbia are pretty good but keep crossing the ball over the heads of their forwards, one of the Serbians missed an open goal by letting the ball roll through his legs, Vinicius Junior is useless and has done nothing and Serbia have a good goalkeeper. Also one of the Brazilians has a very strange running style.
I was thinking of going to watch the second with her, but I'm not sure if it won't be more entertaining if I wait for her final report.
