O/T Qatar World Cup

[Geoff Parkstone]

Evidently only 3, Sith!!

But it is what it is. Turning to the football I'm thinking Argentina 2-0 over France for the final, Brazil 3rd place winner.

NB I wouldn't have a problem with no beer in the stadium - at the prices I hear quoted I wouldn't be buying it anyway.

Prediction beginning to look good, sadly. Everyone now supporting Morocco

Oh well...better than Germany, Spain and Belgium, level with Holland and Portugal and narrowly beaten by the Champions. Not so bad. Thought we deserved more...terrible substitutions...and that referee was as bad as I’ve seen but...qué será.
Don’t care who wins now...so long as it’s not Argentina.

Our ref was better than the wazzock doing Holland Argentina

Didn’t watch all that, but any ref that needs VAR to give that second penalty shouldn’t be doing the job...imo, and that was just the worst in a long list of hopeless decisions.

Marginally.

Marginally.

Granted

Don't like blaming individuals... But Kane's miss was the difference. Just can't afford to make that sort of error.
Don't see us having as good a chance of winning the world cup as this in another generation at least. Best squad in the tournament, very disappointing.

Tbf, Kane isn’t the first and won’t be the last fine player to miss a penalty in such pressurised circumstances. Just ask the Spanish and Brazilians.
Feel sorry for him this morning and I really hope he doesn’t attract the same sort of vitriol as those who missed at Wembley against Italy.
It is disappointing but at least we didn’t go out with the usual wimper. We played well against the current champions and were unlucky. There’s no disgrace in that and I can only see this team getting stronger in the next 2-4 years.

[Ramshank72]

Oh yeah, and nobody will be more disappointed or annoyed than the man himself.
Hope the gig was a good'un.

Hope the gig was a good'un.

Tip top thanks. I often wonder why I invest the same time and money in football, with being generous a 50% happy days, as with music where it’s probably 95%
