The sh**** World Cup thread

[stokearab]

Yep. Just seen Southgate interview saying we're gutted because we were SO CLOSE.

Erm wait a minute, so close to what exactly? So close to taking a quarter final to extra time when you had no guarantee of winning in extra time anyway?

Usual nonsense from down south and we know the script only too well by now.

They seem to regard themselves as big hitters on the international stage too. There’s a good chance that they’ll never get near their rivals’ trophy hauls before most on here are long gone. Euro and World Cup wins:

Germany 7
Italy 6
France 4(5)
Spain 4

England with the richest/best league in the world currently sit on 1. Equal with Greece, Denmark, Holland, Czechoslovakia, Soviet Union.

Although they have also won the following:

Failed Golden Generation trophy
Plucky Losers Cup
Better team won Rosette
Beaten by the referee Shield
Best advert by a penalty misser (world record of 7 times)
Great bunch of media friendly lads(as voted for by The Sun & Daily Mail)

Add to that the furthest travelling pen as Kane's hit landed this morning in Saudi Arabia 🥅⚽️

BBC Breakfast this morning - No Mike Bushell, no visits to schools and factories asking where they’ll be watching and predictions on how many Ingerlund will win by, no cardboard cut outs of “‘Arry” and Gareth, no replays of ‘scenes’ from BoxPark Croydon and crucially no wall planners.

Infact it is Nada, Zilch, Zero, Phuck All…………………………..

The World Cup is finished now isn't it?

[ARAbCHNID]

Can certainly relax now anyway Terry.

I’m sure I heard the commentary team say during the game that the last time England won a World Cup knockout game after going behind was 1966.

That is an absolute minter like!

Before the next World Cup, maybe they could research for any loopholes that will allow them to play all their games at Wembley. Bit unfair this having to go abroad somewhere that isn’t England to play Johnny Foreigner malarkey if you ask me like.

This ^^^ They do have some really good players. They're suited to attack but they've never been great defensively under the genius Southgate. I've often said that teams reflect the personality of the coach and it's no different with him.
If France can beat them while missing so many key players that tells you everything need to know. #Gutted

Favourite for new manager is Mike Bassett 😁

Best quote of Saturday night was Sam Matterface commentating after Arry’s miss - “We needed Gary Lineker but we got Chris Waddle.’
