World Cup of the Damned

[peekay]

I can’t stand Pickford, Maguire, Foden, Sterling & Kane - so I can’t bring myself to like them.

I find the French team slightly less hateable.

He cost the Mancs 90 million pounds and has been as effective as Sebastian Coates for them. The man is a legend.

I think we all admire what Slabhead has done to keep United out of the top positions and the genuine entertainment he has given us throughout his entire Utd career… but he’s still a twat.

 

[localny]

You the Maguire that was arrested in Greece for allegedly trying to pump some girl full of date-rape drugs - that harmless lad?


Mbappe’s a twat too - but I just hate him less.

He was/ Jaysis had no idea

 

[ctlovesred]

How could anyone want soporific penalty merchants Croatia to win over balls to the wall edge of your seat Morocco?

 

[dmishra]

Rooting for Messi to win it now

Actually I read it wrong - he got into a fight with some other people he accused of drugging his sister.

All I remember was he got into a fight, got lifted, started fighting with the cops & tried to make a break for it.

He’s still a twat though.

 

[Frogfish]

The French team is a lot more likeable without Pogba.

Also can't find it in myself to hate any of the English players besides Pickford and maybe Sterling.

That said, I'm all in for Team Croatia v Morocco.

I agree with the sentiment but that is not worthy of being a World Cup final. I hope it's Argentina vs France with Messi finally getting his WC winners medal.

I'm not a fan of Croatia's play but this is would be the second WC final in a row they got themselves into. A rematch of the 2018 final would be nice.

Funnily enough that's where Harry Kanes Dad is from (kind of - Gallaimh)

There's a circular theme here

I really like Hendo and Sakho and obviously Bellingham is about to come a reds legend, so I must say I ended up being a bit conflicted by the end of the match (which I watched in a pub in England surrounded by England supporters). I do think that England are shaping up to be an excellent international side.

I like those 3 - don’t dislike Rashford or Mount.

Jack Grealish is another fanny of the highest order though - so there’s too many players in who’s salty tears of failure I love to bathe.

Basically - I couldn’t give two hairy fucks about most of the players in other teams.

I’m hoping to see the same salty tears of unfulfilled World Cup greatness from Messi as we’ve seen from Rapey-Ronaldo.

Disagree on your final point. Messi winning the world cup will make Ronaldo's misery all the greater, so I am in favour of it

"while they haven't won, they are still winners in my eyes". Just like David Moyes the people's champion.

That would also work.

Good to see our new Saudi overlords have now taken to Heavy Metal football as well

[Hyena]

That's only because of the Welsh, surely?

Penalty for the argies.

Hopefully the goal spices things up a bit

Julio Alvarez and Enzo Fernandez are reminders (if any was required) that there are (reasonably priced) talents to be found in the Argentinian league.

Alvarez price is £100 per zit .... so about £150million

 

[ibromurph]

Unbelievable that this kid Alvarez is a bench player for City.

He alone might be better than Nunez. Let alone Haaland.

Sad.

Croatia lacking quality in the final third

Indeed. If’n we had £100 million to spend, I’d scour that market first instead of waiting for someone else to get them first. I can’t still believe fee now being quoted for Caicedo.

Got lucky against a naive Canada but has huffed and puffed to penalty shootout results since than.

 

[keniget]

Yeah, Alvarez is annoyingly good.

His inclusion has changed their fortunes in this tournament.
