Right - forgetting the bent bidding process and the conditions of the migrant workers building the stadiums - does anybody else agree that a Nov/Dec competition has the potential to be ace?

 

Firstly because it will take up most of the traditional Christmas bullshit season so we'll all be talking about football and not festivities. Secondly just for the novelty factor. And thirdly because we can see whether or not our well worn excuse about our players being tired stands up to scrutiny.

Not missed a game yet. Hardcore!

I've either watched or listened to every game, but I work at home so it's easy.

Tomorrow I'm going back to Bolton so I'll miss my first day

Also, only getting back at 8 on Friday so I'm missing the England game as well.

One of the biggest upsets in World Cup football being overshadowed by players covering their mouth 🤦🏻
 

Anyway it will all stop soon because Wales have used rainbow corner flags in training. 

 

Can the top teams in world football not just fuck FIFA off and form a break away group?

Even by your standards your stretching for a bit of whataboutery here.

Movember is done to bring awareness to men's health issues ... which has got absolutely fuck all to do with being happy for two young lads who received a shit load of racial abuse for having the temerity to miss a penalty in a shoot out (even though they should've been applauded for having the balls to step up in the first place).

Saka, in particular, is on his way to becoming an absolute superstar ... but we all know he's only ever one mistake away from being racially abused online.

 

Anyway, with Kane looking a doubt for Friday, hopefully another darkie can fill his boots and bag a couple. It'd be nice to get another win and effectively turn the final game against Wales into a dead rubber for us and allow a bit of player rotation.

My standards  Some would have you believe that I don't have any.

Wouldn't mind a repeat of 29.06.50. I want England to be desperate to beat the Welsh and tear them apart; not a dead rubber and allow the fuckers any chance to gloat.

Not at all. I always want England to win everything. Just don't want success this set of sanctimonious twats and their puppet masters. They do not represent me. They should leave politics completely alone.

Draw with or lose to the US; smash Wales; after that I don't care.

You never know, without the weight of my expectation they just might go on and win it just to spite me. Can't see it with the state of our centre backs.

Just wait until we've had a chance to assess Brazil. I can see Gabriel Jesus having an outstanding tournament.

I'm sure on that point they totally agree with you, and thank goodness for that

There needs to be a massive overhaul after this fuck up at the very least. Starting from the top.

There wont be though

There won’t for one reason; nobody will want to be the first to lock horns with the governing body.

Should catch the 2nd half and perhaps any added time?

Bearing in mind that there will likely be added time in the first half delaying the start of the second half, he could see an hour of play.

Depends on your point of view.

Sure. Clearly we don’t know who we’d get, but Ecuador?

My view is more simplistic; go to Qatar, win 7 games, come home with trophy.

Hmm…he either wasn’t at his best, or he needs the quality of Man City around him.
