England are def in the mix as potential finalists/winners, as much as many other sides before anyone suggests sour grapes but think that is the weak link of the side and surely with the players at the WC it will come back to haunt you! I think the semis will be the end of the road.

The argies fairly shit the bed this morning. I saw about 15 mins of the first half and they looked very comfortable, had just scored too, bit of a surprise to see the final score.

“Strudders ,you know you’re off mute?”

Ironic that “Go kart” Giroud is the main beneficiary of “F1” Benzema’s withdrawal. You could argue that he’s better for Les Bleus anyway.

    alistair he’s just equalled Henry’s record and yet he’s not even a tenth of the player that Henry was. It’s a funny old game!

        gcw although as our Irish friends will attest, one of Henry’s goals should never have stood

          Remember when Edwand said Giroud was shit and couldn’t wait to get him out of the rent boys?

            Cankles-McJeggings You could make a whole world class team of Edwand’s ‘shit/past it’ footballers…

            F Giroud

            Any more?

              Anyone finding it a bit rich having a bunch of western countries who have built their wealth on the back of centuries of war, looting, genocide, slavery, and colonization having a go at the Middle East? The noisiest being the sanctimonious whites who choose to ignore their countries’ dubious history. Laughable behaviour.

              STFU, take the money and play football. Otherwise grow a pair and boycott. But spare us the non-stop sanctimony, getting sickeningly hypocritical.

                Rhouses, you literally leave turds in your house and leave a lower-caste dogsbody to clean it up, if it wasn’t for us sanctimonious whites educating you, you’d be even more of a bastard.

                  Lol. Buuuuurnz . Someone ring the fire brigade to put rhouses out. 🔥 🚒

                  And fuck off rhouses. Have you ever imagined where’d you’d be now if it wasn’t for us colonising you?
                  Plus you spend all your time buying white man’s trabs. Cunt.

                    Oh proper burn that was. Pfft.

                    The western narrative around this is nauseating. Even Russia was spared this crap when they hosted. It’s blatantly and conveniently anti-Muslim, and I’m saying this as someone who is staunchly averse to organized religion.

                    Some rando Welsh women’s footballer looking bewildered she can’t wear her ugly AF rainbow bucket hat to the game in what looks like a completely staged video recording of the response from authorities. Western media foaming at the mouth. Spare us this garbage please.
