and i also saw bale's penalty last night. i've got a pretty good goals to minute ratio so far

Post by **vom** » Tue Nov 22, 2022 1:29 pm

I had the Argentina / Saudia Arabia game on while "working" and managed to miss both Saudi goals while making a coffee. On the plus side though: hahaha

Post by **blombluss** » Tue Nov 22, 2022 3:15 pm

And both good goals, also.

KSA deserved the win, for sure. Argentina were particularly rubbs in the 2nd half, an' all.

three goalless games in a row? you'd never get this in [insert better country]!

Hooray for [s]Cameroon[/s] Saudi Arabias

TOO MANY NIL NILS

England used up all the goals

Post by **blombluss** » Thu Nov 24, 2022 8:37 pm

England are now spent. :crying laughing emoji: :crying laughing emoji: :crying laughing emoji:

Oh, I don't know!

football was just a bad idea all round really, wasn't it?

Post by **blombluss** » Fri Nov 25, 2022 1:18 am

Just say no. Pretty please, football?

Post by **blombluss** » Fri Nov 25, 2022 1:21 am

So... a must win match for Cymru, and a potential banana skin for Inglund to-day?

Post by **blombluss** » Sat Nov 26, 2022 1:03 am

England were deeply mediocre, and Wales were bloody awful. Not a good day for the Home Nations, there.

Post by **dng** » Sat Nov 26, 2022 1:31 am

Well one of them's guaranteed to go through now so its not all bad

Post by **blombluss** » Sat Nov 26, 2022 1:45 am

Damn you for looking on the positive side!!!

Post by **vom** » Sat Nov 26, 2022 8:52 am

The Wales match was quite exciting to watch at least

The England one was death

Post by **dng** » Sat Nov 26, 2022 10:47 am

I liked the bit where the commentator said something tedious and then lee dixon said something even more tedious, but smugly

I'm still not sure why we're supposed to hate Southgate, considering he's the only manager to do anything useful with England since Terry Venables.

Post by **blombluss** » Sat Nov 26, 2022 3:38 pm

Apropos of nowt... I find Jordan Pickford immensely annoying.

Post by **dng** » Sat Nov 26, 2022 4:04 pm

Even Jordan Pickford finds Jordan Pickford intensely annoying

Post by **dng** » Sat Nov 26, 2022 4:42 pm

Southend were good for a while (11 unbeaten or so, and up to 5th). So since then they've lost two in a row, to the bottom team and then 5th bottom.

Post by **dng** » Sat Nov 26, 2022 4:42 pm

Worst world cup ever. By a mile

Post by **dng** » Sat Nov 26, 2022 7:42 pm

argentina - mexico

best kits, worst football

Post by **dng** » Sat Nov 26, 2022 7:42 pm

although the mexico goalies kit is probably also the worst kit, so maybe he'll be the best goalie

Post by **dng** » Sat Nov 26, 2022 7:42 pm

Post by **dng** » Sat Nov 26, 2022 8:24 pm

maybe not

I recall Jorge Campos wore some hideous goalies kit. Probably to distract from the fact that he wasn't a particularly good keeper.

but he designed them himself

Post by **dng** » Sat Nov 26, 2022 8:37 pm

so therefor that made up for everything

Füllkrug is a pretty amazing name.

Post by **blombluss** » Sun Nov 27, 2022 11:05 pm

I was a bit disappoint with the game. I think it's fair to say that neither of these teams will win the World Cup (famous last words, there...)

Post by **vom** » Sun Nov 27, 2022 11:08 pm

Based on the results so far I think it's fair to say this world cup won't have a winner

Post by **blombluss** » Sun Nov 27, 2022 11:13 pm

Yeah, just four teams that make it to the semis, and then everyone decides - that'll do! and everyone goes home.

Post by **dng** » Sun Nov 27, 2022 11:14 pm

Qatar will win the world cup in a surprise last minute reveal, as the ref pulls off his mask to reveal he was Sepp Blatter all along.

Post by **blombluss** » Sun Nov 27, 2022 11:22 pm

Nothing would surprise me anymore...

Post by **blombluss** » Mon Nov 28, 2022 2:50 pm

I thought: I'll give these two early matches a miss - bah!

Post by **vom** » Mon Nov 28, 2022 4:10 pm

haha I had them on while "working", they were great

keep it coming, The World Cup

Post by **dng** » Mon Nov 28, 2022 8:49 pm

football is absolute shit, isn't it?

Post by **vom** » Mon Nov 28, 2022 9:56 pm

sounds like you also missed today's early matches

Post by **blombluss** » Tue Nov 29, 2022 1:50 am

Any predictions for tonight's matches?

I'll plump for England 3 - 1 Wales, and USA 2 - 1 Iran.

Put all your money on those predictions, I am never wrong...

Post by **vom** » Tue Nov 29, 2022 9:14 am

England 1 - 0 Wales, with very little entertainment value (since I'm planning to watch it)

USA 4 - 5 Iran, game of the tournament (since I'm not)

somehow i managed to look at the korea score on my laptop (2-0), then go straight downstairs, turn the tv on, and missed both there goals. i don't know if this shows how delayed the bbc scores page is, or how slowly i walk down the stairs

Post by **vom** » Tue Nov 29, 2022 1:07 pm

Either way, I'm impressed.

Post by **blombluss** » Tue Nov 29, 2022 2:07 pm

Also - I really fancied watching a game this morn, and the selfish swines at FIFA have denied me that basic human right.
