Not a lot of poor games, although TBH I didn't see any of the early kick offs. Was excellent viewing from what I did see. Really, is that what you thought? I thought Argentina were fantastic in the first half. I think it's s real pleasure to watch football like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ParisInAKilt Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 Seeing that bald prick in white trainers and some anonymous evil Qatari hog the trophy like that really leaves a sour taste unfortunately. Incredible game at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edge of the seat stuff for me throughout, right up to the last kick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second half onwards it was an actual game, much better entertainment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toepoke Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 Watching the game back again after getting home from the pub, absolutely tremendous. And sheer genius from McCoist saying it was the first proper WCF hat-trick 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was arguably the best world cup final ever. The tournament as a while provided some great stories and upsets. Not the best tournament ever but its up there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay Quatar by default. Does anyone else on here think it nauseating when Scotland fans laugh at England going out in the quarter final and stupid cartoons of Harry Kane on social media? I would give my left arm for Scotland to reach a WC quarter final. Instead we are reduced to supporting any team against England (myself included). We are a shambles of a so called footballing nation. Sorry, Monday morning blues. We get rid of SFA and all the coaching rules and rulebooks and make a start. The WC has given me a revigoration for football though. Taking an under 16 team in Fife after the new year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's called rivalry, maybe sometimes people can take it too far (me included) but how else do you expect people to react when the only real way we can watch these competitions is through England's coverage?! clap, say "jolly good" and wish the cnts the best of british? fk that! All we get is England this and England that, they're our historical and sporting rivals, it naturally grates and you naturally want them to get pumped, and they invariably do and it's funny as fk. They're self righteous arrogant cnts and I will never lose the delight I get from seeing them fail. Maybe if we had our own TV coverage then we'd be a little less reactive... maybe..

You are right there and I agree. They are our rivals and it's natural to support whoever plays them. Just sore that we are not there I suppose. I must be a queer one as the ITV pundits don't bother me. Even Ian Wright was ok yesterday. I nearly fell of my seat when McCoist said that was the first hat trick in a final where all three balls crossed the line. Pure brilliance. His co-commentator replied that there will be a load of letters to ITV after that!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, I'm fairly confident that if we had been lucky enough to get there, we would have been really pish as well. But we didn't get there so we are still slightly worse than really pish. Maybe next time we will be lucky enough to have the chance of trying to avoid the really pish status. Got to qualify first though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daviebee Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 Delighted for Messi, gutted for France. Some story being just a goalie's leg from lifting the trophy with an injury list like that.

Well, I'm sure that France will prove themselves worthy opponents in the final. Back in the real world, I doubt if we'll need to worry about England winning anything for some time to come. Won't stop them chugging themselves into a frenzy of course before the next inevitable, hilarious let-down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aberdeen parked the bus of all busses, a complete embarrassment, and deserve(d) all the ridicule coming from that France didn't sink to those levels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
