I watch Motogp even though I know a Brit won't win it.

Sport is to enjoy.
You've never sounded more Scottish. :D

Walked into a local bar just in time to see the final score Canada Vs Morocco. Not paying attention to the WC, but anything that pisses of the Canadians is OK by me.

I am glad they lost. Glasgow Celtic need Alistair Johnston back playing in the pre season friendlies. He has five days rest before his first match :lol:

France didn't have it easy

But Mbappe?

7 goals this tournament

17 goals in 16 WC appearances

Not too shabby.

Aye, he was enjoying the drama a bit too much. Never a penalty.

England game may be a late kick off. Apparently a storm has rolled into town.

Casemiro is renowned drama queen. He can give Kane a run for his money in Diving.
