World Cup

Sounds legit

It simply showed the farce that is VAR these days. The foul, was arguably a foul, it simply was.. He not only pulled his shirt (deliberate) but stood on his foot (accidentally), both instances were enough to give the free kick.
But if it's not given there and then, it shouldn't be given.

But it's this stuff that has killed the game as a spectator sport for me. It's just destroyed it. From the hair touch, to offsides by 3mm and goals being called back for something 20s previously... The over-analysis of every single item, every detail, every touch. It's fucked the sport and i quite simply despise watching it now. I keep watching the odd game thinking it can't be as fuck awful as the previous one, but somehow they manage to make it so.

Egypt were not hard done to, not within the rules that the game has now laid out anyway.

Plus, they're all cheating bastards. Wait for contact then fall to the ground in agony, don't even bother with a magic sponge these days, then they're straight up and running about.

The marking when corners are bing taken are joke too. Most of them are closer than my wife and I at our first dance at our wedding!

All the match officials for the France v Morocco game are Argentinian. Is this unusual?

Tom Jones would say no

Corners are as you say a bloody joke now. Back in the day it was standing on attackers toes and the like but now it's like a kids play fight with all the pushing, shoving, holding, shirt pulling, it needs sorting out

Great save

Cant believe i was actually supporting Spain.

[Yorick]

Just watched another game and I'm perplexed.
Living here i see hundreds of Spain shirts.
99% have Lamin Yamal (or whatever) on the back.

I've not see him do anything yet.

Apart from Pele who was a phenomenon, off top of my head I can think of 3 other 18 year olds who really did set the world on fire

Wayne Rooney, Michael Owen and Ronaldo. Maybe both

Have I missed summat?

Yamal plays for one of the 2 best teams in one of the easiest leagues in Europe. He looks awesome every week because the other teams give him space and can't defend

I understand that but I'm saying that he's done nothing yet in this world cup. The usual big hitters are doing what they do best

=1. Lionel Messi (Argentina) – 8 goals.
=1. Kylian Mbappe (France) – 8 goals.
Erling Haaland (Norway) – 7 goals.
Harry Kane (England) – 6 goals.
Ousmane Dembele (France) – 5 goals.
=6. Vinicius Junior (Brazil) – 4 goals*
=6. Ismaila Sarr (Senegal) – 4 goals*
=6. Julian Quinones (Mexico) – 4 goals*
=6. Jude Bellingham - 4 goals

See now. Its not just a case of anybody but England. Some have a reason to support Norway

The bookies have us favourites to win tonight.
But still 4th favourites

My prediction, England vs Spain final, and England take it with a 4-3 win.

Away to warm up ma telly. Good luck England but i think if Shrek and his band of merry men play like they did against Brazil then you will struggle.

Not feeling well after coming off meds so watching at home
See more of the game but miss the atmosphere

2 amazing goals so far

[Yorick]

Part of the whole thing is the fan stuff
Love the Viking rowing stuff
