I'm surprised at the Dutch walloping Graham Potter's Sweden (tm). And looking forward to Germany vs Côte d'Ivoire (unknown team x).

Messi - Nancy Kerrigan
Iron bar wielding Ronaldo - Tonya Harding

Posted: **Tue Jun 23, 2026 5:14 pm**

I don't know if Messi quite works as Federer for analogy purposes, but Ronaldo is definitely the Djokovic of football

Posted: **Tue Jun 23, 2026 6:18 pm**

Naymar is Nadal

Posted: **Tue Jun 23, 2026 7:07 pm**

Roanlado is back. Never in doubt.

Posted: **Tue Jun 23, 2026 7:11 pm**

Messi is Joseph Swan
Ronaldo is Thomas Edison who electrocuted an elephant because the elephant had previously substituted Edison when he was on a hat-trick

HUrrah!

We were deeply mediocre for large chunks of that match, and I bet Barcelona are checking the T&Cs on Gordon's contract.

Also, I think the ref was very kind to us on at least two occasions.

Posted: **Wed Jun 24, 2026 2:41 pm**

Gordon does a lot of "headless chicken" style running around. He did manage a couple of really nice passes later on but I remain unconvinced.

Posted: **Wed Jun 24, 2026 5:23 pm**

I watched the football yesterday so that’s why it was crap.

Sorry.

This might have already been mentioned, but has anyone here talked about that baffling giant Messi statue yet?

Posted: **Wed Jun 24, 2026 7:45 pm**

I can't remember. It was amazing though. I hope India re-erect it on the moon or something

Posted: **Wed Jun 24, 2026 7:46 pm**

oh wait, i hadn't seen that there's a new even bigger pointless messi statue now

Posted: **Wed Jun 24, 2026 7:47 pm**

i hope each country in the world slowly builds bigger and bigger messi statues until we're all dead and they're all that's left of human civilisation

Posted: **Wed Jun 24, 2026 7:47 pm**

and/or easter island heads

Posted: **Wed Jun 24, 2026 8:25 pm**

Yes, that new one. But I was mentioning it in part due to... a part

https://www.ibtimes.co.uk/lionel-messi- ... sy-1804752

However, as footage of the statue spread across social media, the focus shifted rapidly from the sculptor's ambition to one specific, awkward design detail: the replica World Cup trophy is positioned directly between the figure's legs. prompting a flood of jokes that quickly overshadowed the tribute itself.

Posted: **Wed Jun 24, 2026 8:46 pm**

hooray

"They could have put the trophy anywhere but there."

Scotland anger me - what is point of taking part if those are the performances you're going to serve up? :'(

Posted: **Thu Jun 25, 2026 9:23 pm**

I was hoping for a plucky underdog performance, it was frustrating that they lost mostly due to their own incompetence rather than Brazil having to break any kind of sweat

Posted: **Thu Jun 25, 2026 10:19 pm**

Germany purposely losing this match because they were too frightened to play scotland in the next round

I don't know a lot about footbaaal, but I do recall this bit from the second Red Dwarf novel:
