France are a goal down to a bunch of USA trainees at half time. They are so shit.
I know, he's seventeen this year. It just seems odd that a tournament populated exclusively by young players would have such an award. Where's the cut off?
He looks absolutely superb, by the way. The rare young player to dominate through technique rather than just being big for his age. Like Iniesta was from Ardrossan.
What are Ryan Gauld and Jack Harper up to these days?
Gauld is still out at Sporting , mainly being loaned out to different teams in the Portuguese system and doing well. He might get an opportunity after the fiasco with the chairman.
Am I supposed to know who this is?
I am absolutely awful at recognizing people outside of their element.
It's Dele Alli isn't it?
We've actually been half-decent in the warm-ups. Cue to getting pumped by Denmark.
I'm awful with faces (I got through tons of League of Gentlemen before realising it was the same actors), but I immediately recognised that as Dele Alli.
Now you say it I instantly see it.
Right or left?
🤣
Pepe.
Collina tells linesman not to bother with the offside rule at the World Cup
It's gonna be great.
Hazard has been incredible the last two games for Belgium. He’s the one player where stats really aren’t that important.
That's amazing. Under-18 maybe?
Edit: What the fuck @John?
Edit2: Nevermind I replied to a post at the bottom of another page lmao idiot.

He's definitely going to score against England though. Twat.
The Costa Rica coach apparently had no idea who Hazard was. They’re gonna get dickered this time around. 6-0 to Brazil
He is one of those players who is unplayable when he's on it, and can be on it for sustained periods, but then just disappears for entire seasons sometimes, which is odd.
It was him and Costa that won the last one for them, pretty much single-handedly.
Spikey find yourself a hospice mate
Diego Costa won us the last one with all those 1-0 finishes in shit games in November.
Hazard is an electrifying luxury player. Doesn't have the killer instinct to dominate the game and can drift out of a season. He had a spell middle of this season where he was immense, but he also had a quiet/poor spell.
He’s only ever played under defensive minded managers at Chelsea without ever having a team built around him - which it should.
As shite as Martinez is, at least he realises the team should be built around him at Belgium and thus outperforms De Bruyne with ease.
Our team is 100% built around him and has been for some time.
Spain manager is off to Real Madrid after the World Cup but it seems no one at the federation was really informed in advance and it’s all kicking off and he might be sacked today!
Yes I did literally back Spain heavily for the tournament two days ago
They've actually sacked him lol
Cash that bet out.
I'm a twit
The vote to host the 2026 bid is also being held today (nice timing, FIFA).
United Bid: USA, Canada and Mexico (massive favourites)
Morocco: lol
They'd better be taking those three host nation spots out of their tin-pot qualification system on the 'joint bid'.
Morocco should really be awarded that. The three nation bid is a clusterfuck, particularly as the 48 team thing has been boshed.
I really hope the joint bid wins and Trump gets his wall built.
