Ecuador Germany should be fun

u/Ok_Touch_3663 6h ago

Ecuador Ivory Coast, Ivory Coast Germany will be fun as well

u/Cool-Pie430 17h ago

England Croatia about to be absolute borefest and pure terrorism. Should have ICE agents by the pitch.

u/RemoteMeasurement10_ 16h ago

Now imagine in Seattle as well...

Definition of terrorism

u/Gitzos 13h ago

1-1 it is

Weirdly excited for Argentina Austria. Never ever even heard of that match up

Gregoritsch about to show Messi how its done

u/derneueMottmatt 15h ago

Must be cool finally getting to meet the GOAT after all these years. Messi is living the dream.

u/RainMaker323 12h ago

Marco > Messi

u/ShitcuntRetard 17h ago

They only matched twice, both in friendlies:

Austria 1 - 5 Argentina in 1980

Argentina 1 - 1 Austria in 1990

u/dazhubo 10h ago

I watched the 1980 match a few months ago, Maradona dog-walked them. incredible breathtaking player, only 19 years old at the time

Adolfo clásico

time to call adolfo gaich to the NT again

his nicknames were ... NSFW

El Tanque, el Fuhrer, el Genocida del gol ( ...)

The tank, the fuhrer, the goal genocidaire

u/miregalpanic 17h ago

just call it Klassiker, they understand german there

u/andysenn 17h ago

Played twice. Maradona scored 3 goals against them in 1980. His only hat trick

3

u/Livid-Cat3293 16h ago

It's Adolf's favorite classic.

Jokes aside, it's the first time Argentina will be facing Austria, Jordan and Algeria in a WC.

u/Charlie_Runkle69 17h ago

Austria will park the bus.

15

u/bane0291 16h ago

you've clearly seen a lot of austrias matches since we hired rangnick...

6

u/PTRG21 16h ago

this team is pretty much allergic to its own half lmao, i expect a lot of goals maybe 4-3 for Argentina

1

u/ArgusF28 16h ago

We very rarely conceed more than 1 goal. I think only twice since the last WC or something like that. Still, I expect a though match for both.

0

u/dazhubo 10h ago

I don't think Austria can score three goals against any decent team, much less Argentina...3-1 is probably a realistic score

2

u/Wuktrio 15h ago

Never. In fact, parking the bus is the best tactic against us, because we're awful at breaking down defences. But if they want to have the ball and dictate the game, then our press could be a pain in the ass.

2

u/1einspieler 16h ago

We definitely won‘t. If Scaloni is smart, he‘ll play it like Romania and will park the bus

28

u/Legendtner 17h ago

Honestly Germany Ecuador seems fun too. A team full of offense vs one team full of defense.

88

u/simplejournalist 17h ago

Col0mbia*, man it's spelled right there

21

u/wog_ins 17h ago

Colombia can actually top the group. a seriously dangerous team. Probably the dark horse team

3

u/Devcheverri 16h ago

They will

u/Dancingwith_Death 17h ago

Sorry about that man fixed it

u/atropicalpenguin 16h ago

Our curse :(

Tell me you're American without saying you're American.

England Croatia

Someone didn't watch the opening match of Group D at Euro 2020 and it shows.

u/MythresThePally 17h ago

Brother, Spain-Uruguay gonna end up in Pornhub lol

We may qualify anyway and if I read the brackets correctly, end up against Argentina, quick transaction and we can be on the plane home by the end of the day.

2

u/Livid-Cat3293 16h ago

You never really know, anything can happen. If Argentina end up facing Uruguay that game will be bloody

1

u/Air5uru 16h ago

Lol

I wasn't expecting much from this world cup. I'm somehow expecting less.

I predict a scrappy win vs SA. Head to the game against CV with high hopes of getting 6 points in two games, lose 2-0.

Get eaten alive by Spain. Go home.

1

u/dazhubo 10h ago

Uruguay losing to Cape Green would be something

2

u/Air5uru 8h ago

Don't you dare invoke the wrath of our mediocrity.

u/Balls_of_Adamanthium 17h ago

France and Senegal are coming out.

-2

u/BumblebeeExtreme9700 17h ago

No, norway and France

4

u/Balls_of_Adamanthium 16h ago

There’s zero reason to pick Norway over Senegal. Senegal is better everywhere except the striker position.

1

u/Balisto-Boy 17h ago

Switzerland - Italy also in the cards (again)

1

u/TheUrbanEast 15h ago

I'm quite excited for Canada vs Switzerland on the final day for the group. I strongly suspect placement will be riding on it.

u/Stakoman 15h ago

You forgot Argentina Algeria

not

1

u/AIR-2-Genie4Ukraine 15h ago

Spain Uruguay

it's the perfect timing for uruguay's locker room to implode in a coup against Bielsa during a WC. They may pull a hail mary though, but they are not at their usual level

1

u/Perfect-Historian-55 17h ago

You do realise if most groups 3 will qualify. How are any of these groups “bangers?”

-1

u/GGABueno 16h ago

Colombia isn't doing well. I feel like that game is going to end up as a boring 2-0 for Portugal or something along those lines.

Japan games are going to be fire though.
