They had a brilliant plan to win. The coach is a genius. Defend and pass the ball to Lewandowski. How could it fail.

Funny game is football, shots on target 11 v 1, but not when it came to penalties

Re: World Cup 2022 Forum
Just like the Germans over many WC'S it proves if you play a solid team structure with a good game plan you can beat a technically superior side albeit on pens this time, but they recovered and went on with the job.

Re: World Cup 2022 Forum
It helps if you get a bit of luck too, and having Arena's tip in your favour probably was the deciding factor.
Modric is brilliant though.
