All you have to do is play through one on FM to see the lols that 16x3 would produce. I did one the other day and saw a team go through to the knockouts after losing their opening game 11-1.Quote:

A totally unfit Lukaku should produce some lols this half at least.
If they can jam a 32 team setup into one city in the desert in the middle of the season, they can easily do 104 games across a continent in the summer holidays.

64 makes more sense, but the ECA people would seethe themselves into not releasing the players or something. They seethed at 48 team expansion without even realising that the number of games per player would be less on average.
128 team setup for Dubai 2038, monster monster
I've seen Infantino in the crowd at both games here. Are there several of him prowling Qatar?
Lolkaku :lol:
Absolute horseshit.
He weren't wrong.Quote:

Absolutely peak Lukaku this.
This has been an incredible second half performance from him.
'He's not expecting it'. Yeah, because he's brainless.
:roflol:
That challenge by Gvardiol was incredible.
Romelolu
Doku having to sit out so Martinez can play another useless white lad. Unjust world.
:harold:
Binman Bobby on the dole in the morning.
Roberto Martinez really needs a Lib Dem style “winning here” logo.
One goal in three games against those teams is miserable stuff from the waffle-eating side.
Belgium are some shambles. Yev has been right all along - you don’t entrust that generation of players to someone like Martinez.
All that chancer ever had was the ability to produce some half decent attacking stuff. Absolute lols that he can’t even manage that now.
lol at that cretinous interview.
Missed it, what happened?Quote:

Wasn’t so sure why there was so much raving about gvardiol before this match but he was absolutely outstanding, very impressive given his age.
Mitoma benched again ffs. Mon Japs.
Japan and Korea might have the best anthems. The sort of thing you realise with maturity, as the exciting ones lose their lustre.
Has Iñaki Williams switched countries mid tournament or is Clive mistaking his brother for him?
Gnabry :cool:
Morata's getting the golden boot.
Yeah, it’s his brother.Quote:

Obvs. Clive called him Iñaki 3 times and then corrected himseld mid flow on the 4th. Let's hope Ngozi Fulani isn't watching.Quote:

Get this guy as De Gea's replacement :D
This Spain keeper is scrap.
I reckon they might give this, even though it was definitely out.
What are they fucking waiting for here?
Oh fuck they’ve given it and it was out :D
What exactly is VAR for?
This is amazing. Germany need to rack up about 5 goals now right?
How have they given that?
The guys operating the VAR are not having a great tournament. Still, if it kicks out the sausage munchers I'm all for it.
