World Cup 2026

[dmlaw]

Anyone trying to claim this as a competent England performance against a top team at the World Cup should remember that it DOESN’T COUNT.

 

[Sardonicus]

Now for the comeback!

 

[dmlaw]

The whole concept of the Golden Boot is so fucked when the five goals that Mbappe will inevitably score in this half count.

 

[Madison]

They should consider substituting on more defenders.

 

[rhythmbandit]

The crowd still seem suspiciously subdued, they must be mostly French.

 

[Jark]

it's like they always say - 4-0 is the most dangerous scoreline in football

 

[Madison]

Could they please replace Ivan Toney with someone better like Harry Kane, or someone sexier like Dan Burn?

 

[dmlaw]

Could they please replace Ivan Toney with someone better like Harry Kane, or someone sexier like Dan Burn?

They could replace him with Connor Storrie and still maintain the competitive integrity of the fixture.

 

[Eddie]

Oh well

 

[Jark]

girls.

 

[rhythmbandit]

This is ending 5-4 to France isn't it?

 

[Eddie]

Didn't want Mbappé to get the golden boot.

 

[rhythmbandit]

On penalties.

 

[dmlaw]

This is ending 5-4 to France isn't it?

Doesn’t matter if it does. The whole thing might as well be scripted.

 

[dmlaw]

Didn't want Mbappé to get the golden boot.

Well he’s going to. Messi now needs two goals and an assist in an actual real match to win.

 

[Madison]

Didn't want Mbappé to get the golden boot.

Expecting Oyarzabal to score four goals was never realistic.

 

[Eddie]

Get Watkins off.

 

[Mark R 3]

Oh god. Don't tell me we're going to lose this match too.

 

[Indie]

Doesn’t matter if it does. The whole thing might as well be scripted.

Messi will come on as a substitute and score a winner.

 

[Eddie]

Same old story for England.

 

[Madison]

If we win, I hope our players assert our territorial claims over Calais.

 

[dmlaw]

Same old story for England.

I’m as eager to criticise England as anyone but this whole game means fuck all.

 

[Eddie]

I’m as eager to criticise England as anyone but this whole game means fuck all.

I'd still like us to win it.

 

[Eddie]

Get bloody Watkins off!

 

[Eddie]

Get bloody Watkins off!

Ok maybe not.

 

[Jark]

no, he's not been good. get Gordon on.

 

[Eddie]

no, he's not been good. get Gordon on.

Lost possession clumsily more than once, fouled..yeah get im orf.

 

[Eddie]

Can you imagine 30 minutes of extra time of this farce?

 

[Eddie]

Penalty.

 

[dmlaw]

Is Ivan Toney not in the squad entirely for his penalty abilities? Why isn’t he taking this?

 

[dmlaw]

Is Ivan Toney not in the squad entirely for his penalty abilities? Why isn’t he taking this?

Other than because he’s gone off. I’ve had a few.

 

[Eddie]

GO SAKA!

 

[Eddie]

Is Ivan Toney not in the squad entirely for his penalty abilities? Why isn’t he taking this?

Because he was taken off?

 

[Madison]

Did anyone else’s TV freeze at the crucial moment?

 

[dmlaw]

Because he was taken off?

If we asked FIFA nicely, they would let him back on.

 

[Soldi]

I don’t trust France not to score two more before full time.

 

[rhythmbandit]

Did anyone else’s TV freeze at the crucial moment?

I had to do a double take but it just appeared nobody on screen was moving.

 

[Soldi]

Brilliant match regardless.

 

[Eddie]

If we asked FIFA nicely, they would let him back on.

Does it matter now?

 

[Eddie]

7 minutes!
