I'd be fine with it if you went on to win it, and we'll go around and tell
everyone that we were the only team that beat you in all of 2022 :)

Well, it was our first shot on the goal. Came in the right time, though.

Thanks, we'll need a lot of luck, that's for sure.

That still sounds very surreal... I remember writing 4 years ago that
reaching WC final is something you see once in a lifetime and we are one
step away of repeating that.
Now the path in definitely tougher, we need(ed) to beat Brazil, ARG/NED and
ENG/FRA/POR/MOR, reminds me of Real Madrid path to CL this year.

What happens, happens, they already overachieved.

I was thinking that too. They already played one final and one semi in a row, and they could very well make it 2 finals in a row (possibly even more ...). They must be doing something right. Luck or n luck.

I predicted the Dutch to go through

77' Ned 0 Arg 2 ?

Still predicting

Morocco and England.

At 2-0 this prediction was looking good, but it was anything but easy
in the end.
