Qatar really loving injury time.
Poor from Mendy again.
A classic Mendy error there, pushing it into the middle. Should be dropped for the next game.
Huge shoutout to Mendy for keeping all my bets alive. What a gimp
Senegal also absolutely hopeless, just need a classic French turn now and we're dead set for the semis.
Is Mendy on the take here? Fuck me he’s dreadful.
They approached the game pretty well I thought, but the lack of concentration and mental errors in the last 15 mins were dreadful. Two midfielders with thicko challenges getting themselves on yellows could be crucial as well.
Mendy was always crap. That first six month Tuchel super defence just made him look good.
Mendy had the fortune of being compared to Kepa who had flapped for 12 months solid by the time Chelsea signed him.
I thought it was a nailed on 0-0 when I saw the teams, neither of which appeared to be all that good.Quote:

He was a lot better than he is now, but he always had a nervy moment in him.
There's definitely been some really weird miscommunications about venue capacity. Al Thumana has an advertised 40,000 capacity which they exceeded despite the place clearly being not full.
Classic African shite. They should just have France as that useless continent's representative.

Jesus, Taz. You can't go on like that. You're nearly 40.
Another way to look at it is the majority Muslim teams are 2-12 down on aggregate thus far.
Italy, France, Spain, England, Germany, Brazil, and Argentina with guaranteed spots. The rest up for grabs.Quote:

Belgium have to get a new away shirt or remove the "Love" stitching.
FIFA gagging hard on that Qatari cash.
Until the major nations boycott the cunts nothing will be done about it.
Bryan Swanson (gay or otherwise) must be having some serious 'Are we the baddies?' moments as he signs off on these press releases.
:D
On paper the USA look a poor side, which I assume means they are going to do a lot of running.
Fucking hell it’s against the back of their necks :D
I actually didn’t think every last one of them all were as spineless. It’s fucking gone.Quote:

The armband stuff could be problematic for FIFA though, as it clearly flies in the face of their inclusivity nonsense. Presumably someone will be asked at some point whether equality is a political issue in their eyes.
Over 2.5 in this. Both lineups look like utter shit.
Josh Sargent. Jesus almighty. Gio Reyna easily our best player and he's on the bench.
Fox Sports doing an emotionally gripping biopic on Christian Pulisic now.
I think a good few would follow England to be honest, I don’t buy the thing that everyone hates you. That said, it shouldn’t be up to England to go against this on their own to see who does follow.Quote:

You had better hope @phonics hasn't been on the Turbo Shandies today.Quote:

You are probably right, if someone had taken the seismic step to boycott [someone told me Norway would have had they qualified] then I'm sure they would have been followed, but it's obviously very difficult thing to do on your own, particularly if you think you might win it. I mean, Italy happily boycotting away as it stands.Quote:

The answer should always be "not America" but I'm not being one of those soft cunts that wishes the neighbours well, so fuck them both.Quote:

Can we speculate on whether Gareth Bale will be booked if he does his heart celebration thing if he scores?
Bot disappointed actually that there haven't been any undershirt protests yet. Do they check them before the game or something?
If they turf out this elderly singing hype man, I'll allow them 3 days of uninhibited homophobia.
Why can't they just focus on the football and not headwear? :cry:Quote:

Wales in tracksuit tops. Go on…
There’s surely a 1 missing before that 20 after looking at them clamour around today.Quote:
