World Cup of the Damned

[Hansern]

Well, obviously your mentality is that your can do whatever the fuck you want regardless of where you are, or whose country you are in...

I think you're confusing wearing a captains armband during the World cup with brits on holiday in Spain.

 

[Hansern]

No they put them to conversion therapy instead.

No migrant workers died building the stadiums either, I'm guessing.

 

[Hyena]

While that is awful, it's worth bearing in mind that laws against homosexuality were actively enforced in the UK up until the 1960s, and homosexuality was listed as a psychiatric disorder until the 1970s. People in the USA still pray the gay away fervently.

Gestures like rainbow armbands are nice, but they are not going to change minds.

Thanks for pointing that out Gianni. Next you'll be telling us the UK should be apologising for the next 3000 years.

We've moved on. So should the rest of the world.

That 2nd Japan goal was nice.

1-0 Spain.

Well they haven't. And they won't, just because some foreigners tell them to. So you can keep being indignant about it, but don't be surprised at the pushback and lack of buy in.

We've moved on.. so should everyone else..
At the same pace as us, and then follow us. And if they don't we'll complain ... with empty gestures.
Pls keep sending us gas though Qatar, and keep investing in our country.

Might be an unpopular opinion but, why are we going to another country and asking them to change their customs in order to suit us?

Is being gay a custom?

Just kick Costa Rica out now.

Bricking it now. Have waited my entire life to see Canada play at the World Cup. I know odds are against us today but my nerves are fried as though it were Liverpool preparing for a Champions League knockout tie.

come on Canada !

 

[darkstarexodus]

Now is when I start making inappropriate ethnic comments like "Shove that waffle up your bangle". Sorry in advance.

 

[Red rose]

Penalty Canada

Goalie saved it

 

[darkstarexodus]

Great start by Canada. Always Courtois. Just need a piece of De Bruyne magic to really trigger the LFC related PTSD.

 

[tomasjj]

canada all over les belges

 

[Red rose]

De Bruyne not happy, Belgium seem at sixes and sevens so far

 

[Modo]

That is so unfair...

 

[Athens]

Good goal from the mayonnaise guzzlers.

 

[darkstarexodus]

One decent chance. Ffs.

 

[Modo]

Is being gay a custom?

Isn't alcohol?

One way traffic for 45 straight minutes and we're down at the break. Amazing performance, disappointing outcome so far.

Can only imagine Martinez will have them settled down and more in control after the break.
