Find it all rather pathetic. World's gone fucking soft.

The sight of grown men running to a referee pleading for a red card. "Please sir, he covered his mouth".

Fucking pansies.

Agree on running to the ref

However….what sort of cunt covers their mouth with their hand?

Grow the fuck up if you’ve got summat to say just fucking say it

Anyone covering their mouth with their hand in any situation shout be red carded for being a pathetic cunt. Fuck off out of football on a televised world stage if you’re so precious that you don’t like folk realising what you’re saying

Of course you did, you've got money on them.

They came up lacking against a decent team like Morocco and will do again in the knockouts.

I look forward to being proven right within a week or two.

You may be correct. I may be correct.

If it is you, I shall dip me lid to your superior football prediction capabilities.

I take it you have every team in the competition to prove this whilst I have only the one? I haven't only backed one to win the whole thing. Not silly enough to think Brazil are certainties. I have Argentina, Germany and Spain too. France could bugger it up and I would be ecstatic to lose money if England did it.

'A decent team like Morocco'. Ranked sixth in the world. 'Decent' is an underestimation.

aye

and considering they've just brought in a rule that says straight red for covering your mouth and saying something to a player, you're pretty fucking stupid if you cover your mouth and say something to a player, and fully deserve the red

at least come up with an alternative method that hasn't been outlawed yet, like pretending to blow snot out your nose or bring your shirt or arm up to your face to make it look like you're cleaning some sweat off, then say it

No, just don't think it will be Brazil or Portugal.

I'd certainly agree with you on the latter pal.

Djorkaeff and Hierro sat together watching

Saudi's xG must still be around 0.00

This Belgium defence is baaaaaaaaad

Feel like I only come on here to grumble lately, and this isn't a moan about world cup. Instead it's how much I hate VAR. Probably the most interesting goal I've seen for years has been chalked off. Football is being killed by those running it.

I remember that Weghorst scoring one similar for Holland in last world cup, kind of catches your breath for a minute seeing something really unusual happen in a game like that!

Class moment that from Emma Hayes and tribute to her father.

Whilst the crosses tactics board didn't work, it's a shame she got so much abuse.

“Jordan v Algeria in the Arab derby” 😂

Just looking through that Cape Verde squad. What an achievement to grind out two draws against Spain and Uruguay. Couple of decent level players but that's about it.

Insane.

Cape Verde - Detailed squad 2026

And apologies if this triggers the anti-scouser brigade. But delighted for Wee Mo. Huge pressure on him, what a guy.

The Irish lad is a mad one. Kept ignoring the call ups because they were in Portuguese 🤣

The defending against Spain would explain why Santos didn’t get a look in

Haha hadn't heard that one yet. Brilliant.

Uruguay Capo Verde was highly entertaining

also

Mustafa Zico also takes the title of "best name" off Denzel Dumfries

Uruguay / Cape Verde was what its all about, fabulous game

No reason they can't beat Saudi Arabia and advance to round of 32

History

The GOAT. It's not even a debate

He could have had 4 this half and I feel like he's not been at his best with his shooting and passing, never will we see anyone as good.
