It is the worst, by far, the world cup I've ever seen, from the football to the all the circus around it. The fans are absolutely terrible, plain terrible.
Is this where everything is going now?


I've loved it. The so called minnows have showed up and gave a good account of themselves with some shocks and drama and there's been plenty of decent games once we've hit the knockouts so far too.

Ive watched some and happy that there have been some shocks along the way......there have been few rollovers that were expected, that's for sure.
@PP South Africa was 100% the worst world cup ever due to those annoying vuvuzelas ruining the atmosphere. Absolute brain damaging that was.

A monster. Genuinely excited by what he could do next season


5 games in a row that he's scored vs gabriel. Arsenal fans try to act like this is a big match up but Haaland puts him in his place every time they meet.

Also glorious to see neymar talking shit after scoring a consolation penalty, only to be hysterically crying on the ground 5 mins later.

Red card controversy completely puts an asterix against this tournament. It might not ultimately make a difference to the winner but it completely dishonours the rules and spirit of football. Water/ commercial breaks as predicted by Maradona in 2018, pale into insignificance. FIFA have become a joke or a bigger corrupt joke than they were before.

It is just typical of that "Shave my head to make me look cool" Infantino to bring Politics on to the main Forum here. I insist he be banned from the Forum.

However, i hope there is now finally, a call for this oaf to resign.

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.

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

Presumably they kissed and made up at the final whilstle. No need to apologise to him again on social media. Bern should have thumped him though. Would have at least been something interesting happening.

Kept 41 year old Tranny for the full game, didn’t bring on Ramos the guy who is inform & scored goal to win their last game, terrible management how does he get away with it, total imposter.

I watched the last 30 minutes of Portugal vs Spain. Bernie came on as a sub late on. He did himself no favours getting himself immediately booked by Ant Taylor for a silly and clear foul. He should have known better. he was in a bit of a foul mood when his header just went over and Rodri had a go at him. It clearly annoyed him because again, he fouled a player and from the quickly taken free kick Spain scored. So Bernie only has himself to blame.

Think he gave the ball away as well that lead to their goal
