I’m with those who say that it shouldn’t be there, but it is. I can take or leave international football these days, mostly thanks to FIFA, but my boy is growing up fast and evenings around the telly with a match and a pizza might become less frequent. Selfish I may be, but I’m creating memories and screw Putin.

Spain having an early nervous breakdown, sacking their manager. The first own goal, I guess.

Seems like a massive hissy fit.

Yes but that relies on FIFA adopting some kind of moral position. That is not something they are currently capable of doing.

I will not be watching.

What! Not even the opening match of Russia v Saudi Arabia which will just be a big gay rainbow of tolerance!

Nearly Sane · « **Reply #154 on:** June 14, 2018, 01:07:30 PM »

And more tolerance

I thought England were supposed to have played their first match by now, but I haven't heard anything about it.

Yesterday's battle of the bastards was the opening match.

Maeght and NS

thank you for the info.

Portugal v Spain is terrific.

Nearly Sane · « **Reply #161 on:** June 15, 2018, 08:58:14 PM »

Best game I've seen in ages.

ProfessorDavey · « **Reply #162 on:** June 15, 2018, 09:20:43 PM »

What a game!

wigginhall · « **Reply #163 on:** June 16, 2018, 12:22:15 AM »

Some of the Spanish play is beyond belief, like a kind of dance. Sheer will-power by Ronaldo, also.

Motty's desert island disc top pick is Three Lions.

No idea why but that made me both

Just listened to Three Lions. Classic. Got my England top on and buzzing for the game.

Rhiannon · « **Reply #166 on:** June 18, 2018, 06:59:38 PM »

Well it's not a true classic but the memories it evokes... really happy with Southgate in charge, this feels like a happy ship to me.

Nearly Sane · « **Reply #167 on:** June 18, 2018, 07:17:53 PM »

Good tempo, but ffs Sterling!

Go England, this is good.

Rhiannon · « **Reply #170 on:** June 18, 2018, 07:24:28 PM »

Poor goalie person though.

Maeght · « **Reply #171 on:** June 18, 2018, 07:35:21 PM »

What are we doing in front of goal?!

Maeght · « **Reply #172 on:** June 18, 2018, 07:36:23 PM »

.... and at the back!

Rhiannon · « **Reply #173 on:** June 18, 2018, 07:40:05 PM »

Well it's England isn't it...

Nearly Sane · « **Reply #174 on:** June 18, 2018, 07:40:41 PM »

Just loving the speed. Watched the Belgium game and they were playing so slooooooow.
