Official road to World Cup 2024 Thread

What I heard was the coach kicked him out but wtf is "traditional" goalkeeping anyway?

Booting the ball into the air away from the box.

“Modern” goalkeeping is like Edersons and Allison’s style of play, where the goalkeeper is actually playing the ball with short incisive passes and is like the 11th player on the field.

While I understand Onana’s objection to the tactics, that’s an absolute dumbass reason to leave a World Cup.

 

[TIMEISMONEY]

I wish Asamoah Gyan was out there to sub atleast....

 

[Politic Negro]

They better try to score another goal....especially with this Premier league ref

 

[TIMEISMONEY]

[DJCandle]

And here comes the bad Ghana ..

S. Korea made those two goals look EAAASSSYY

 

[slewdem100]

World Cup on fire this morning...and Ghana better do something fast

 

[SIDESHOW]

maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan

And here comes the bad Ghana ..

I was just about to post about this being a professional display from them in terms of not needlessly opening themselves up with a 2 goal lead etc. and they immediately go and concede 2

 

[SIDESHOW]

this is bananas

 

[DJCandle]

Order restored. Nasty sequence from the Black Stars there

 

[TIMEISMONEY]

#20 for Ghana just redeemed himself...

 

[Moore]

This morning games have just been nuts.

 

[Politic Negro]

Best day of the WC by far.

 

[Politic Negro]

That 18 year old Mallorca man is a beast.

 

[DJCandle]

Best day of the WC by far.

And we still got Brazil, plus Portugal/Uruguay left??

If every Monday could feel like this …

 

[TIMEISMONEY]

10 mins

 

[zod16]

10 mins

I am used to it now with this wc but it reminds me of when a Ferguson era utd side would be down 1 goal at home and the board would come out with 6-7 minutes out of nowhere.

Every one of those minutes were warranted ..

 

[slewdem100]

Hell of a game...glad Ghana held on...they were under straight up assault those last few minutes....South Korea is pissed for real

 

[TIMEISMONEY]

If I was Ghanaian, the last 20 mins would have killed me. S. Korea had like 20 shots lol

 

[PJN]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What's the SK coach crying about?

 

[DJCandle]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That was a dick move from Anthony Taylor. You don’t blow the whistle on attacks. Korea right to feel aggrieved.

oh...ok, but it was almost the 12th minute though

I guess in that case, Onana should have accommodated that request, it shouldn't be too hard to do, is it?

 

[DJCandle]

That’s what I mean. He should’ve blown it well before Korea were attacking. He had a whole minute to do so, but it is what it is. We all know how Taylor gets down.

Yessir. It’s literally booting the ball into the sky and he’s refused to do it. It’s the equivalent of a WR not running a particular route and not just pouting about it, but leaving the Super Bowl entirely

 

[Flawless]

So the strategy to beat Brazil is to foul them every time they get the ball?

Well expect xhaka to get a red card then.

Fuckery

Got damn

 

[Southpaw]

Brazil wins Cameroon can still qualify.

 

[Rudey]

I expect better finishes from Brazil but they get the job done. They need Neymar.
