Now there's a surprise. 

Duckie preferring something 50 years old rather than the present day.

Absolutely killer line up to be fair.

None of the Man Utd/Liverpool or big club bias. Wolves, Palace, Leeds, Forest  and a Hammers supporter.

Manchester United weren't in the first Division for the 74/75 season that followed that WC. Don't think Liverpool were any too dominant either.

[AlexLaw76]

Lots of noddy yank accounts online, you have probably just got into 'soccer', are proclaiming that this is the greatest World Cup ever because they have big stadiums with big screens.

These people really view the rest of the world as peasants, don't they.

Looks like Bruce Forsyth, Kier Starmer, Bob Ross, Graham Potter and Michael Sheen.

Don't get what qualifies them to talk about football anymore than Emma Hayes.

Those concerned about wokeness, even Qatar TV has a lesbian!!!

Quite easy.

No you’re right. 
 

Jack Charlton World Cup winning player, managed at 2 world cups,

Dougan played at World Cup & 500 odd professional appearances.
 

Cloughie 2 domestic titles, 2 European cups,.

Big Mal played and managed hundreds of games, here’s what Bobby Moore said about him “ I'd been a professional for two and a half months and Malcolm had taught me everything I know. When Malcolm was coaching schoolboys he took a liking to me when I don't think anyone else at West Ham saw anything special in me”. 
 

I think they’re more qualified than Emma Fucking Hayes. I’ll give you Sutcliffe  though, not sure he’s quite as qualified, in hindsight he probably didn’t have quite the right tools for that particular role…

Emma Hayes more qualified than Charlton or Clough 🤣🤣🤣

She's obviously much better at her job of being a pundit than 95% of the other people doing it.

So it's weird to bang on about her constantly.

Can’t see Saudi winning this

[LiberalCommunist]

Spain are boring. I can't appreciate any of their good work because its just so boring.

This is very poor game. Should be reserved for the middle of the night.

Beautifully worked free kick routine there from Iran

Leeds were the team to beat in the late 60’s/early 70’s but even allowing for that there wasn’t the bias in the media towards the bigger clubs

Didn't count, but even so...

[LiberalCommunist]

What happened to the automated var check. Like the one from the other night that looked really contentious that they waved away almost straight away? Someone proudly announced how efficient it is now? That didn't seem very efficient. 

[hypochondriac]

I see that woman is still doing her thing during the hydration break. I thought they'd have sacked her off after the England game. Even had a little feminist message at the end and wishing everyone a happy fathers day. Literally a parody.

[LiberalCommunist]

So she is now only on there to wind up the people who don't like her/criticise her. What a shit use of a platform. 

If she was a good pundit, she wouldn't bother with all the other crap. I don't want to know about her dead dad. I don't care for her messaging on her top. It just makes the blackboard blithering less tolerable.

The be kind age is dead. These twats killed it.

Good hand from the Iran keeper. Thought Belgium were going to score there.

[John Boy Saint]

Red card for Belgium - come on Iran

[SNSUN]

Ngoy sent off for Belgium. 11 vs 10, it's game on for Iran.

[John Boy Saint]

Iran look a bit confused at having an extra man

Well they would be, they are at a huge disadvantage now, or something.

Harder to play against 10 fo' shiz.

If this stays a draw it'll be a great chance for NZ or Egypt to stamp their dominance on the group.

Stunner from Cape Verde!

This is the greatest show on earth. All time classic world cup moment right there.

Gotta love the underdogs - brilliant. 
Uruguay somehow made the world’s most shit wall that the free kick went straight through. Awful defending but fair play 🇨🇻 

[SNSUN]

Another clean sheet from Vozinha and the Golden Gloves award is already in the bag. 

But I think Uruguay will score. Lots of talent there. 

[SNSUN]

Unlucky Cape Verde. Uruguay equalise

[skintsaint]

the Uruguyan wall..

Cape Verde tend to keep things tight but Uruguay have quality.

[SNSUN]

They've only gone and got a second!  

[SNSUN]

What a game. 

[Jimmy_D]

What is happening!?  

[Jimmy_D]

Nearly 3-2!

[SNSUN]

Uruguay get it in the net but offside. Vozinha spilled that one, no golden glove for him! 😜

[SNSUN]

Enjoyed this. Cape Verde could even have won it. Uruguay will be pissed. 

[SNSUN]

Sets up the Uruguay vs Spain match to be a good one. 

[Jimmy_D]

Could well end up seeing a team qualify on two points with the number of draws there have been.

Scotland will hope so.

If Cape Verde beat Saudi anyone with a bet on them to get through that group will be minted. Not me sadly.

Uruguay beat Spain by one, Cape Verde beat Saudi by two or more and they end up topping the group.

Needs 5 3rd place teams to finish on 2 points, still possible in 9 groups as things stand.
