Football 1 FIFA 0

This is basically Steaua Bucharest v Barcelona in 1986 European Cup final. One team playing for pens from the start. And winning.

It’s coming third, it’s coming third, football’s coming third.

One of Tottenham’s back 4 last season is going to get a World Cup winners medal. Just let that sink in…

Only two years until we fuck up another Euros then.

Argentina had a vastly superior bench. Sometimes it’s that fucking simple.

Crying kids after 22 minutes of a game. Just get fucked with that.

Watching the antics of Alf Inge Haaland last night you can see why Roy Keane gave him a reducer.

Take a look at this video, 'phoenix nights black bin bags' share.google/T2xme5qO8FvW...

Maybe it’s me, but Spain seem to be more lucky than brilliant this tournament. France will take them apart in the semis.

Shit stutter run up. Another shit stutter run up…

Best ITV commentary duo, Champion and McCoist, doing tonight. We’ve got Shatterface and Mogadon Lee Dixon on Saturday, haven’t we?

Gary Lineker on @therestisfootball.bsky.social was spot on. 8 minutes 59 seconds for the gratuitous Infantino shot tonight.

Allez Les Rouges.

Just get bent FIFA. Oh sorry, you have never been more bent, even under Blatter. The difference between Quansah and Balogun’s ref cards are marginal, and certainly not a two game ban difference

Adopts John Motson voice, Olympiastadion, Munich 2001: It just gets better and better and better…

Given that Labour, Tories Lib Dems and Restore are all boycotting the Farage self pity fest, I hope @zackpolanski.bsky.social does the right thing and stay away as well. Clacton will still have Count Binface to vote for.

This could be the mother of all ‘scenes’ by Egypt at the final whistle. And totally justified.

It’s France’s tournament to lose, isn’t it?

Labour, Green, Lib Dems and Tory - stand aside in Clacton and get one challenger on Farage. You could do a lot worse than Carol Vorderman to take him on.

So who bought all the houses?

He’s going full Trump isn’t he?

What Farage doesn’t get is that for every fan boy (and let’s be honest it’s nearly always men) who there are at least 2, more than likely nearer 3, who absolutely fucking despise him. If he stays the level of tactical voting to stop Reform at all costs will be off the scale.

Ronaldo is playing like someone in a veterans league isn’t he? Total passenger.

Given that we are playing that well known tropical paradise Norway next, can we please hear no nonsense about the heat and humidity of Miami for this week?

You just know that somewhere in Scotland a clever entrepreneur has just ordered a shed load of Viking helmets.

Brazilian and Mexican tears on the same night. Love it.

This is fucking bollocks by VAR.

Surely a red for the Mexican keeper?

I’m very worried that one of Wayne Rooney’s shirt buttons is going to fly off.

Truth.

Crying Brazilians on the telly. Inject it into my veins. Over entitled wankpuffins. And a bit crap tbh.

Another stutter run up saved. It’s a load of old shit isn’t it?

Dunno why everyone is suddenly surprised. We’ve been down to face Mexico in the Azteca tonight since the draw was made… in December. The least I would expect is early preparation for this outcome.

Never a 3-0 game this, but Canada have less firepower than the Swiss Army.

This⬇️

Fucking embarrassing by Senegal here, Morocco all over again.

Here come the Belgians…

Brazil is basically Vini Jr, a half decent keeper and 9 journeyman, aren’t they?

Anyone who thinks Japan winning will mean an easier route for England are utterly deluded. This Brazil team have been a ‘bit shit’ against decent opposition for 3 years now. Still think we’re going out in Mexico City first mind…

3:25 Ben Stokes announces retirement. 3:28 Ben Stokes takes wicket with first ball of spell. Just brilliant.

Guess who’s got to be in the office until 6:30 on Wednesday as closing manager? Suppose I might get to the pub for the last 20 minutes.

Are Panama paying tribute to Sam Allardyce era Bolton Wanderers with that kit?

Was looking forward to the game tonight - then Norway decided to put the stiffs out. Disappointing.

Celeb spotting at the World cup belongs in the fucking sea.

Today is the 40th anniversary of Peter Shilton being shit at a crucial World Cup match. In 11 days time it’ll be the 36th anniversary of Peter Shilton again being shit in a crucial World Cup match.

Rolled over like a stunt driver in a Lethal Weapon movie there. One is enough Lionel.

Still think Maradona was better, especially with the protection attackers get these days in comparison.

Stutter run up penalties are shite. Period.

As long as we have governments elected by 30% or less of the population, regardless of rosette colour, this cycle will just continue. We need full PR to replace FPTP now. If it means governing by coalition that’s fine. It’s miles better than what we have now.
