Don't watch the World Cup!!! Boycott it!! Um... why?

[duncs500]

What's with the negligée they made Messi wear?

He’s officially a wizard now.

I think the guy giving Messi that was his boss, at first I was thinking he should say "fuck off mate, I don't want my legacy cup lifting moment photo to be in this!". Then I realised that the guy giving him it pays him a gazillion pounds a day or something.

Glad Argentina won it, Messi is the greatest ever and not having a WC left undesirable question marks. We'll never know if he could do it on a wet Tuesday night in Stoke, but I'm pretty sure he could.

Glad the dirty French didn't win it.

Yeah, Al Thani, I imagine he must have major influence over Paris Saint-German. It was apt for the whole shit show which was the oppression world cup. Backwards as ever.

People are getting a little carried away. Up until the 1st French penalty, they were awful. So for 80mins it was pretty poor as only Argentina were playing well.

Once France equalised, then it turned into a cracking football match. Great result though.

[JonMad]

Yep, the end of the game was great and France should have won it at the end of extra time.
How often do people scoring hat tricks end up on the losing side?

[Broccers]

Also watching in the pub you avoid this bullshitter preaching bollocks

Well, you do.

I take it you watched this killjoy then

The football was fabulous, the politics have no place in sports.

Gary Neville ???

Tone deaf at best...

So what was it he said that was wrong? That people should be paid decently and have good working conditions? Other people have also highlighted the appalling conditions endured by the workers in Qatar throughout the World Cup and no one said anything. Or is it that he can highlight the plight of workers in Qatar and not people here in the UK too? You can't pick and choose.

[dinny_g]

Comparing the plight of Migrant Workers who came to Qatar to build the World Cup venues with UK Nursing Staff is like Infantino comparing the struggles of Black People all over the world with his his struggles as a Red Haired man.

We all want Nurses to get paid a decent wage for the work that they do but that analogy is unfair to the UK Government and NHS (in my opinion)

No.

I can't believe that for the first time in history a sporting event has been made political.

He was just trying to morality-wash his own position, which is that he's a morally bankrupt arsehole that will take money from wherever he can get it, including the Qataris

They deserved to win it from what I saw from the highlights. But I'm still not having Messi as the GOAT. That debate will rage forever though.

[GG.]

Glad the dirty French didn't win it.

Eh? Did you type French instead of Argies by mistake? Even Martinez was at the underhanded tactics, shithousing to put the penalty kickers off (amazing keeper though he is)!

The fact a cheating obese cokehead is revered as a national icon is probably all you need to know.

[Gavster]

Oh Martinez, you'd done so well, why did you have to go and ruin it

[GG.]

His excuse was in the same vein as Otamendi's on goading the Dutch - "oh well the French fans were booing me". I mean you've just won a world cup - rise above it.

Basically, as good a footballers as they are - they're to a man a very thin skinned ill disciplined bunch of children.

What’s Boris got to do with it?

Surely now it's only a debate between Man United fans and everyone else?
