Already giving England their excuse for losing yeah?

Oi you got a loicance for thaat altitude?

 

[diffusionx]

Corruption all the way. It's one of the reasons this one of the worst World Cups I've seen. Corruption, "hydration breaks", awful refereeing and far too many teams.



This should be considered cheating. Not the right thing at all.

Or is it the right thing because it's England? If so that's fine. No one likes us, we don't care!

Problem?

 

[EviLore]

Looks high as fuck to me. Us English conquered Everest I see no difficulty in going one further.

Oxygen is for puffs (pun intended).

What the fuck? I love England! I have family there, and you all supported my father's music career more than anyone outside the UK.

 

[Varteras]

Dont forget france.

I can't wait for the day black goes out of style so I can live a normal life. All this fame makes it tough to hang around normal folk.

I'm honestly not sure if the people who do this shit understand the damage they're doing. We're already at the point where a ton of people who aren't Black are coming up with sympathy in the negative ranges. So you're not only sowing seeds of resentment but also making people unintentionally apathetic when actual issues of racism against Black people come up. It's the boy who cried wolf. Except in this case it's a bunch of other people besides the boy doing it and then pointing the finger at him as if he's the one who cried when there wasn't actually an issue.

Mexico have only lost twice at home...

Don't they ever fucking play there? I find that hard to believe.

Appreciate the love for England, but I don't think I quoted you, mate. Did you reply to the wrong person?

Look who they've played there. Teams like Jamaica. They haven't been playing the worlds best. Little wonder they've gone unbeaten.

"Exclusive: The White House made a direct call to FIFA to ask Gianni Infantino to review Folarin Balogun's red card.FIFA approached for comment and referred to the findings of its independent committee.FIFA sources insist White House influence could not affect the decision due to the powers contained in Article 27 and the independent nature of the disciplinary panel."

It was a harsh red card in the first place, and should never have been given. But this is a bit of a joke tbf, when USA didn't even appeal the ban, but the President makes a phone call? How easily influenced are FIFA?

Don't disagree.

Going to hype with the most popular Norwegian song ever (1.2 billion views!)

sounds like another woke hatin' slop.

I doubt Trump follows football.

They should have done the high altitude training in wetherpoons bogs.

It wasn't an argument.

French here and I'm 100% rooting for USA to win over Belgium

Krispy Kreme is here, lads are here and a fucking great coffee. VAMOS SELECAO

 

[LiquidMetal14]

I'll take the Swiss in this game

 

[Hideous Snake]

Ancelotti singing Brazils national anthem is not something I expected to see

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Regarding the Balogun reversal, remember the case for not suspending Ronaldo for 3 games? There's a precedent there for this and apparently some clauses. I think the decision makes sense but more because others have gotten away with no cards at all for similar infractions.

Can't remember that I must say - was that at the WC finals? I could be wrong but there's never been anything like it in my lifetime that I can recall...

Norway almost 1 up after 3 mins!

 

[Sabejita]

Offside.

 

[Hideous Snake]

Phew offside

 

[T8SC]

Ready for some shithousery against Gabriel.

 

[Sabejita]

I don't think VAR can't be used for red cards, it isn't used for yellow cards tho.

 

[Sabejita]

Smells like penalty.

 

[Hideous Snake]

Fuck off that's a pen

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

that was def a penalty; why do these players make these dumb fucking decisions.

 

[clarky]

Penalty surely to fuck.

 

[Gp1]

Murder attempt inside the box.

Referee "Let me check the Var..."

 

[Hideous Snake]

You don't need to fucking VAR that. Right in front of your eyes clear as day. Incompetent cunt

 

[LiquidMetal14]

The only thing I would question that with is that he did hit the ball

 

[Sabejita]

lol

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Ball dont lie

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

wow great save

 

[T8SC]

I hope the remaining 75mins are as good as the first 15!

 

[clarky]

Who hit the ball? the guy in row Z?

Saved!

 

[Hideous Snake]

Stutter harder next time. Retard

 

[Gp1]

Mofo telegraphed where he was shooting.

Easy day for the keeper.

 

[EviLore]

Great save.

It's the double bluff, you telegraph which way you are shooting in the hopes that the keeper thinks it's too obvious and so goes the other way.
