Rodri: “I APOLOGIZE to Bernardo Silva for celebrating his miss in the last play. It was my fault”.

Saw the incident last night. He is turning into a proper cunt, isn't he? I think he is taken the piss with this "It was my fault".
They have played and won everything together for 7 years now. Show some fucking respect, even if you went through because of that miss.

Nah, fuck that. Country comes first. Save the let's not celebrate or take the piss. Sad that Rodders apologied - makes himself look a twat.

It depends. For me, the current national team (local) doesn't come close to City. And City is a foreign club for me. I am sure many here will put City above England.
But back to this moment, I think it's low to shout in front of him. Reminds me of Tranny winding up Rooney in 06. I think it speaks about your character, as a footballer, a lot.

But maybe there is something between them, maybe Rodri was annoyed Bern got the armband last year in front of him. Maybe I am reading too much into it, but looked bad for me. I wouldn't do it, so maybe that's way it was so off.

You're reading way too much into it. Simply a case of Rodri being happy for his country as opposed to an allegiance to club for Bernie. He now looks a tit for trying to apologise for it afterwards. Its a game, your team won take the piss and enjoy it no probs for me. I'll expect Cherki to return the favour when France meet them in the semi

Hope you’ve had a great birthday SC my friend

He’s now the second highest paid player at city - let that sink in.
No one will buy him and if they do it will be for peanuts due to his fucking stupid salary.

Argentinas opponents are 100% being treated unfairly by the refs and it stinks...I felt this way until I read this:
FIFA confirmed that all officials for France's quarter-final against Morocco will be Argentinian - the first time this tournament that all match referees will be from the same country, sparking more allegations of favoritism.

And now I just think FIFA are fucking corrupt cheating cunts.

I would have thought that by quarter final stage, with only 8 teams left it shouldn't be very difficult that the officials involved should be exclusively from a pool of countries that are either not involved or knocked out.

Even if everything is above board this seems open to speculation that could be easily avoided

Looks like Egyptian sour grapes has soured the bowl, there hasn't been anything majorly significant pointing towards officials cheating.

In the real world we'd be laughing at the fat Egyptian whinger crossing his arms screaming "Let my people go" like he's some sort of victim.

FIFA have amended what their acronym stands for

I saw nothing from France that would bother me last night, this world cup is pretty much wide open. If England show the spirit they have in the next game it'll be curtains for Erl and his mates.

I'm fucking astounded you think there's no cheating by these refs (especially VAR). Now FIFA slaps Quansah with a 2-game ban for "serious foul play" instead of one. Wonder why? Maybe 'cause we face Argentina if we beat Norway? Ineptness is just a polite word for it—if it walks like a duck, it's a fucking duck. Cheating cunts.

There are always accusations of cheating mate it goes with the territory be it FIFA, UEFA or indeed the FA. But there isn't any way a decision either way will polish a turd and France is that turd.

Tuchel called the officiating poor, in fact they've all moaned about it. What amazes me is just how stupid does a group of overpaid athletes have to be to say nothing and take it up the Khyber like good boys?

Did it not get doubled because of the frivolous appeal? That's always been the case hasn't it?

Lots of extremely negative comments about Bellingham on here over the last couple of years. There is absolutely no doubt that he is a world class player. Discuss !
