The World Cup is a different beast.Originally Posted by Adramelch
His every touch of the ball brings a tremble to my nethers
I like him a healthy amount and think his career is worth a World Cup win
I like him but sod Argentina winning
He's great, obviously, but I don't care if he succeeds or fails
He's great, obviously, but pundits need to settle down
I'm a racist and that's why I hate him
I'm an idiot and will argue he's actually not all that good
The World Cup is a different beast.
Probably Benderson.
That's literally all you're about, across any subject.
That’s who had in my mind, yeah. I reckon Marry Haguire could be a blubber too.
Provide some examples of where I've excused something I've said that turned out to be wrong with edgy sarcasm, or stop making shit up. Your choice.
Morocco in the semis is breaking new World Cup ground as it is, so I don't see why they couldn't break more.
Magic's in a touchy mood today. Did she say no already?
I don't TOTALLY disagree with your assumption that England would probably beat Morocco/it's unlikely they keep that amazing run going indefinitely, but this ain't a great argument. What makes the world cup significantly different to the euros in this context? Think that's bollocks really.
That is a very fair point and 'no chance' from my side is unnecessarily hyperbolic. Still, I think we win if we play them, which for a World Cup semi-final you'd take all day long.
Lads, we're playing the World Champions next. One step at a time.
There's something about the World Cup that seems to always root out the unfancied/unexpected sides, generally, if not always, no later than the semi's.
I do think you are likely to beat them as well (having beaten France at that point in this argument), but it's not a different situation than what happened against Croatia in 2018 if you ask me.
Since when was evidence required to substantiate our claims.
Can’t wait for us to get pumped 7-0 by France now.
I'm just anticipating an England victory so I'm in a sour mood.
I swear Rice has been in tears before, I have a very clear image of that melt crying in my mind. Bellingham not crying would establish him as the GOAT.
The TV coverage is absurdly, I can cope with dragging any old tranny off the street to spout shit but the commentary these days is so poor. I'm obvs not looking for insight, that ship sailed long ago but why are they so monotonous in tone?
Something in me (and I've no idea why) says we might just do it. Based on absolutely nothing as France should win all day long, but I can't shake the feeling.
I'll be crying if I log on to abuse the players and find that Elon Musk has deleted all of my racist burner accounts.
Had to miss the match, unfortunately. How much did Ronaldo seethe?
I'd like it to go to pens and watch all the English ethnics miss.
He went straight down the tunnel and did a weird cry-grin thing.
Apparently Portugal are openly seething about the fact that they had an Argentinian ref. What was he supposed to do, score a goal for them?
What's the angle there? Some sort of conspiracy to eliminate stronger contenders? Fingers-crossed for that then, might work in our favour tonight.
If wullie could order a liverpool shirt from China, that’d be good.
I'm a twit
Pepe said this: It's unbelievable for an Argentine referee to take charge of us today after Messi was complaining yesterday. After what I saw today, I think they want to give the title to Argentina
Bruno Fernandes said the same.
I mean, there were zero controversial decisions in that match but these guys are obviously trained to believe in conspiracies of their own making. If the general public can then why not them, I guess.

Without having seen the game today all that much, given the decisions throughout the tournament with Argentina they probably have a point. Not sure that extends to eliminating rivals but here's hoping.
Unchanged team, I like that. Gareth may have grown some balls.
Yev will swing from 'I think we might beat France you know?' to 'I TOLD YOU ALL SOUTHGATE WAS SHIT!!!!! I SAID IT FIRST!!!' within a couple of hours.
England going to be a shade of favourites with bookies by kick-off.
I am sure that Pele meant the other type of Africans anyway.
No one outside your little islands knows about any arrogance.
Apparently there is a global seethe about our FA being 'The FA' instead of the 'English FA'.
I did say the feeling we'd win was based on nothing and there'll be no "I told you so" if we do as a result.
And as for Gareth, he's got a free swing here really, the only way I'll be pissed is if we lose the game in the same manner as we did against Italy or Croatia.
A couple tweets do not a global event make.
I've put a few hundred on France -1. Time to up this again, even with the questionable opening.
Those mugs should all be thanking English ingenuity for inventing the sport and British imperialism for spreading it. Christ knows what they'd be doing with their entertainment time otherwise. Knitting alpaca sweatshirts or seeing who can throw mud balls across a river.
Taz is on France. It’s happening.
For fuck sake Taz.
Probably doesn’t really outweigh robbing and butchering the locals everywhere you went though.
None of the french lot taking the knee. What a fucking country of twats we are.
Please see my previous post.
Could do without Luke Shaw getting sent to the shops like that.
Both our fullbacks look like they'd be confused by a pay and display machine.
Man, the French love to break at pace.
Luke Shaw being the dopiest man in football is why I wasn't having that Sterling rumour. What could he possibly have done or said that would provoke a lamping?
There's your evidence.
Only the ref was defending Tchouameni there and he didn't do that good a job.
