The BBC should be banned from anything to do with football. You can tell the people running it are the type who call it Footy & think birds should be paid the same as blokes. Fucking 1990 has a lot to answer for. 
 

 

A heart warming tale. A nation with poor diet, violent stereotypes and a thoroughly corrupt tin pot government... got a win against Haiti.

You're odd sometimes.

Don’t mind the Scotland hype. It’s like if Saints got to the Champions League and beat Qarabag in our first game. We’d be euphoric even if we then went on to lose the remaining games.

[Wade Garrett]

Still not feeling it this World Cup.

Just seems even more now, that the whole competition isn’t about a celebration of football but more a grotesque money-maker.

For example, why do teams need hydration breaks when they’re playing at night?  

FIFA has been corrupt for years and will eventually eat itself.

As a Englisher living in Scotland I’m very happy to support both this World Cup. Everyone I know that has travelled over are painfully aware of their prospects and just want to go and enjoy any moment that they can. Can’t begrudge them that. It’s all done in good humour. Flower of Scotland sounded epic last night. 
 

Gunns goalkeeping though 🫣

The hydration breaks are appalling and totally mess with the momentum of the game. All For adverts and utterly corrupt. 
would love there to be an alternative to FIFA

Any alternative would likely be even worse.

I thought they were mandated by player welfare. I should have been suspicious when I saw Infantino on the touchline charging them for buying Gatorade.

Who is the fat greasy oaf presenting on ITV Sport (now) with some "film guy" I have never seen before either? Talking absolute crap.

This just seems a bit unfair on Curacao. Nice as the story is, match ups like this make a mockery of the World Cup.

Buzzing for Dick’s boys.

Sorry, what now?

[ChrisPY]

Now the second most famous goal scored by a Curacaoan(?).

They’ve been magic so far 

 

I am guessing they’ll run out of steam, but this has been amazing 

[die Mannyschaft]

Germany defence are not very good. This is what happens v a apparent small or useless team you get caught out. Twice in WC Germany have not won against the weaker teams then can't step up v the 2 better teams. Need to rain in lots of shots. 

[Winnersaint]

2-1 Germany

Terrible defending. Very good strike , but deflection. Watching Germany is like watching Saints you just know they'll let one in. Obviously the spying is better!

[SNSUN]

I've counted 3 times now where the ref has got in the way of attacks. 

[LeBizzier69]

Pathetic penalty. Absolute embarrassment especially against Curaçao.

These teams play a crucial role for like of Germany who have slow defenders and alerts the manager to make a change(if there are any better players). There are always teams in any competitions that get hammered or struggle, look at Spurs!

[whelk]

Who is the co-comms on this game? Absolutely useless
