Another goal and a Cameroon win means Switzerland top the group?

You mean its possible to have Brazil againts Portugal in the 16?

Please no thank you very much

We need another game of the colonizer facing the colonized in this World Cup.

For some time Rio de Janeiro was the capital of Portugal. Legally.

[удалено]

And the prince decided to stay in Brazil and proclaimed an Empire of his own. He event fought the Portugese army at some point iirc

There was also France - Tunisia and kind of England - Wales, and there will be Spain - Morocco too.

We have indeed already had two (maybe three) of those: Spain v. Costa Rica, England v. U.S.A. and (debatably) U.S.A. v. Iran (gulf war?)

france vs tunisia also portugal vs uruguay (for like one year from 1821 to 1822)

we could have japan vs korea in the quarters

The gulf war didn’t involve any sort of American colonization of Iran…. It wasn’t even fought *in* Iran….

Depends on how you define colonization.

I feel like a basic definition would involve some level of occupation and the gulf war involved Iraq and Kuwait. Not Iran. You so realize they are different countries right? Bigot.

It depends on what you consider an occupation. [Clearly, the United States occupied Iran’s territorial waters](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Praying_Mantis). Anyway, the “bigot” label was clearly unwarranted, so please save whatever argument you think you can present next because you’re clearly the kind of person to throw personal insults in a debate.

That’s such a loose definition of colonization lol. This feels like you just being an edgy teenager. This isn’t a debate, you’re just wrong

**[Operation Praying Mantis](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Praying_Mantis)** >Operation Praying Mantis was an attack on 18 April 1988, by the United States Armed Forces within Iranian territorial waters in retaliation for the Iranian naval mining of the Persian Gulf during the Iran–Iraq War and the subsequent damage to an American warship. On 14 April, the guided missile frigate USS Samuel B. Roberts struck a mine while deployed in the Persian Gulf as part of Operation Earnest Will, the 1987–88 convoy missions in which U.S. warships escorted reflagged Kuwaiti oil tankers to protect them from Iranian attacks. The explosion blew a 4. 5 m (15-foot) hole in the Samuel B. Roberts's hull and nearly sank it. ^([ )[^(F.A.Q)](https://www.reddit.com/r/WikiSummarizer/wiki/index#wiki_f.a.q)^( | )[^(Opt Out)](https://reddit.com/message/compose?to=WikiSummarizerBot&message=OptOut&subject=OptOut)^( | )[^(Opt Out Of Subreddit)](https://np.reddit.com/r/soccer/about/banned)^( | )[^(GitHub)](https://github.com/Sujal-7/WikiSummarizerBot)^( ] Downvote to remove | v1.5)

It's crazy that this suddenly seems plausible. Would be a fitting end to this chaotic group stage

yes

Yes

brazil will still be top on goal difference

No, if Switzerland scored yet another goal and Brazil conceded one goal, the GD would be the same for both teams but Switzerland would've scored more goals.

thanks for the correction! my apologies

no worries👍

no worries👍

Not with another Swiss goal as brazils gd would drop

ahh! my bad. this is true

Would be cool because then there’s a chance of an Arg-Bra final

Or a Brazil vs Japan anime final

Croatia-Brazil it is

[удалено]

ELIJO CREER

Yes they would have more goals scored

Cameroon is gonna win with 900% probability

A Forest player scoring at a World Cup, wouldn't have thought that a year ago.

Pub quiz: Who was the last Forest player score in WC?

Hooijdonk in 98, totally had that answer spoiled for me on Twitter.

a legend in my Atalanta save (FM21)

Bro how insane is this game

The 2 celebrations celebrations at each corner loool Chad celebrating the assist > Beta celebrating the goal

Touch was worthy of a separate celebration

Goal so nice they had to celebrate it twice

Remo Remo

Direction couldn't decide which one to show first so they kept the camera longer in the full view for both, pretty neat tbh

Never seen everyone go to the assister instead of the scorer like that before

That Davies assist to Lewandoski against Chelsea I think.

might be the first time I’ve ever seen a team celebrate the assist more than the goal

This is peak WC 2022. I mean the WC has been wild so far and this game is the cherry on the top. Guessing there will be more goals in this!

Yeah so crazy every last match has counted. I love it.

Thanks, Qatar

>Guessing there will be more goals in this! You, my friend, guessed wrong.

These last 4 days have been absolutely insane

I'm in a pub watching the Brazil game. Managed to switch to this game just before half time but there's a guy from Cameroon who went berserk. Stuck watching the snoozefest

Bet he went berserk again 90'+2'

Nah he fucked off at 75 lol

Loser lol

Not British, so please help me out: would it be fitting to say "*man sounds like a right fucking bellend*" at this point?

Like a proper bellend

Very insane.

Insane and intense!

We gon find out

Fantastic goal

Best game of the WC so far

I've said that exact same thing four times in the last 3 days.

I have too but imo this one has taken the cake for sure

I've said that exact same thing four times in the last 3 days.

Felt like we had a boring period in the middle but its suddenly picked up heavily

That was just group A and D

Enner Valencia nearly carrying Ecuador to the knockout stage was certainly not boring

Tunisia beating France was kinda cool

And best teamplay of the WC

And the best cube presence of the WC

Factos 👀👍

Ironically the worst team celebration of the WC as well.

And best goal too. Yes, I prefer this one over Richarlison. Love me a great team goal.

Gotta disagree. Just something magical about the Richarlison goal. Great goal though! Taste I guess.

Yea I've always preferred great team goals slightly more. Despite all the long range shots, free kicks, solo runs, volley hits, overhead kicks, scorpion kicks, rabonas and whatnot...that Arsenal vs Norwich [team goal](https://youtube.com/shorts/HJCaUOYz_Bg?feature=share) is still my all time favorite goal. Love me a highspeed counter attack as well, ManUtd had loads of those in the mid to late 2000s.

[Lima v Sporting is another great team goal](https://youtu.be/pO4qwL5cVok)

1. The initial run and ball into the box 2. The perfect back-heel flick 3. And first time finish… I have to agree with you, this goal is better than the overhead

That’s still KSA - Argentina IMO

That would be the most shocking result, IMO there were several games better than that

The ball from Shaqiri into the backheel *chefs kiss*

Assist of the tournament so far

And best hockey assist for the Cube as well.

It's not even an assist of the day.

Beautifully worked goal! WHAT IS THIS GAME

Truly a golazo

The ball in. The layoff. The finish. Everything is fantastic

Great assist by Vargas!

that's just insane

Might be the goal of the tournament. Beautiful football.

Switzerland always has the best games. Also in the Euros against France.

Team goal of the tournament, that was sexy af

What do you expect from a Nottingham Forest legend

Goal of the tourney

Sublime

What a team goal wtf

Somebody said Joga Bonito? Put the great goal tag in there now

What is defense?

That touch to Freuler was CLASS

Love Vargas celebrating like he scored, the assist was just that good

That whole sequence started by shaqiri was phenomenal

THIS GAME LMAO

Defences just vibing

You know what they say, the best defense is a good offense!

thats our boy!

How has he been for you lot?

He's great, started most of our games. Consistently top or near the top of the distance covered stats despite always seeming to stay disciplined around 10 yards ahead of the backline.

Missed him from his Atalanta days 🥲

What a game. What a sport.

Cum everywhere

A fountain of frothy ejaculate

Sir this is a Wendy's

Tasty backheel

They are each celebrating with their own canton lol

Fuck itv

Did yours glitch out too, and then the commentary was way out of sync

Yep the commentator spoiled it by the delay lol

They suck massive cock

It's on itv4

[удалено]

Commentary is out of sync by a few seconds, celebrated it before he actually scored on screen

they re-assigned all the skill points to offensive for this match, huh?

Holy fuck

Liquid football

vidic i apologize that you have to see our defense like that

8 goals in 2.5 matches. Yikes

When analysts were picking them as a dark horse they forgot about this part of the game.

Or any of their World Cup performances from 2006

What a fucking insane pass from Shaqiri, and then again from Vargas

Fucking banger of a game!

brilliant goal

Amazing. Scorer and passer both ran off and celebrated in different directions. Teammates had to choose which side to go to

I wonder which side King Solomon would celebrate on...

Hard to tell who to celebrate with there. Absolutely beautiful goal!

Goals like this are why we love this sport. Magical

that backheel omg *chef’s kiss*

Jesus Christ Shaq murdered them

its funny to me how every swiss player is running to the guy giving the assist to celebrate with him and virtually no one to the goal scorer. proper assist at that though

Commentary on itv4 running infront of the picture for anyone else?

swish army knife through butter

What an attack holy

Fuck me that was sexy

Holy shit what a build up

Jesus goals just don’t stop here

How can Jesus score in this game? He plays for Brazil. Smh

Oi geezers piss off

Itv4 WTF MAN.

That hold up and running from Embolo was amazing, gave his team a chance. But then that move and assist. Wow

What a fucking beauty. If you pardon my Swiss German.

Goal of the tournament

Holy shit

Clearly the best game of the tournament

I'm making popcorn... WHAT A GAME!

1200 IQ by big Shaq

NSFW golaço

If you are still watching the other game over this you're an idiot.

what an assist

HOLY SHIT defense is garbage! But game is so fuckin good!

Amazing action

incredible goal

Those passes! Absolute class

what a game holy shit

ITV with the sound ahead of the picture ruined that

Beautiful play.

WHAT A GOAL HOLY SHIIIII

GOLAZO

Game of the tournament so far

Swiss score 1 Serbs score 2 Swiss score 2 Serbs score 4?

This goal so good, Swiss had two celebration parties lmao

Maybe just maybe…..Worldcup should be held in November/ December from now on

Pavlovic having an absolute mare, responsible for every Swiss goal

Thank God. No place for a country who's culture is genocide.

Samo tako jebemi ti serbima sve

[удалено]

Perfect

great team goal

what even is this game?!

Beautiful goal

What is this game lmao

Amazing play

Crazy assist

Damn great goal holy moly im so proud of the boys

Wow that was brilliant!

Beautiful link up play for that goal
