Good lord a midfield pairing of Rice and Trent from a team who were fancied favorites  

This team kiiiiiiinda reminds me of the Dutch team of old, where they had Van Persie, Sneijder, Robben, Vann Der Vaart as attacking weapons, but De Jong and Van Bommel in the center, and nobodies in defense. The attackers all played like individuals and it didn't tend to pan out well unless they played anti football. 

Now of course that Netherlands attack is better than Englands, and fuck me the midfield pair is too, but you get the point. 

I put 10 bucks on it hahaha. But fuck me Michael was goin on like they were locked and loaded and going to make it out of the group, not embarrass themselves.

Ukraine’s best player is Zinchenko ffs, Romania’s is ????. Alway go with what you know.

Brother if the Ukranians were watching that shit they'll probably surrender today that was abysmal. 

Get fucked @Michael You conned me into betting on Ukraine to beat these comfortably.

Blimey, Triple H loves his long boring title reigns doesn't he.

Long reigns are best, especially with the big straps. Mid card I don't mind a little hot potato occasionally but a world title should be held for a good 6 months or so each reign as a baseline. 

Virgil should have been called Nigel at birth because the cunt is alone in the box far too often. Lost his man and Poland 1-0 up

Didn't I say this Spanish side are way underrated and that Croatia are overrated?

Spain have been much better, they look quality to be fair.

God I agree. For some reason all the English football hipsters gluck gluck on Croatias dong. Probably because they beat England in the WC

What is it with Liverpool players taking the piss? Sturridge, Nabby both severely unprofessional. 

I think the game was a classic 'this is why Fullkrug MUST start' kinda game. Lots of ball, lots of threats, not enough teeth. Very pretty but lacking cutting edge. 

Barcelona and corruption? No fucking way

Go on son, back to your level.

He's a violent rapist, no club should want anything to do with him.

Russia, China, bigger easter european clubs Prague, Zagreb, Shakhtar are all options. North Italy?

Lord. Imagine the 3-0 not being enough. Gutting. Sorry Tommy that must hurt.

You're right. Why can't you face 3 awful teams in a row in the knock outs (beating one without their star player only from a dodgy AF penalty in extra time) to be then comfortably beaten pillar to post by the other finalist until the guy who's rocking your shit gets injured and goes off, so you lose on pens. It'll definitely happen again. 

England supporters in a fugue state. Your squad isn't that good, positionally riddled with weak points, and you don't have a coach who can cover them. You're going home in the 1st or 2nd knock out round.

Yeah, Corbyn was an excellent legislator but unfortunately a bad politiker, the dumbass killed his chances a decade (literally I think it happened in 2009) before running when he mindlessly referred to Hamas and Hezbollah as his 'mates' (as if it bloody matters).

Same with Bill Shorten, he would have been mad.

Shortens list of policies freakishly foreshadows the challenges the nation would come to face over the next 4-7 years. It's mental.

Yeah that’s the most direct action of voting, and the most rational. The only problem is that once you step outside of the two party system, voting like that tends to favour the party the relies the most on political apathy, usually the party with the most media support and in the case of the UK, that’d be the Tories. 

Imagine what a difference, and fuck it'd be HUGE, if Corbyn got 2-3 terms, and his policies (the list of which are tried and tested in other nations and are very successful) were implemented. But no, "HE'S A COMMUNIST, HE HATES MY CAR AND HATES JEWS".

Yeah I can definitely see why people will vote Labour to get rid of the Tories. If there's a genuine left alternative standing where I am I'll vote them. Considering Greens but I just see them as middle class/student types that I can't really relate with even though I'd probably agree with a lot of their policies.

I don't get how people don't vote like this. 

Stop worrying about who has charisma
Stop worrying about the mud other slides have slung
Stop worrying about optics. 

Go to the websites of each party you're considering, look at their mission, and the individual policies and promises they're making, have a quick look at the local candidates too, then fucking vote based on whos policies benefit YOU and the nation the most. 

This is how awful governments get and stay in power. People too worried about white noise and feedback.

Being honest on 4 occasions it could have been different. Twice Liverpool took it to the last day and for 2 seasons on the bounce Arsenal have thrown it away.

I don't think it going down to the last day is a saving grace. The best teams are still outrageously far ahead of the middle pack, and the gap is growing, because FFP slaps down any financial boosts that would close it.

"40 points for safety" There are 4 teams on less than 30 points.
Teams used to win the league with 70 something or 80 something points. City will go over 90 to win the league (again). 
The divide between the top teams and the middle table and yo yo teams has never been higher, the league has never felt more plastic. What's the fucking point anymore? Everyone supports the same 5 teams, money, the FA, UEFA and FIFA have butchered the game with their tokenistic financial regulations and lack of support to clubs that aren't shoveling cash into their throats. 

Man City, EPL champions for the 9th time in 13 seasons. Bayern Munich, 11 time champions in 14 seasons. PSG 10 out of 12. Juventus won 9 in a row recently, though ironically Italy and Spain have been saved from outright monopoly by gross incompetence and corruption from the teams who stood to easily dominate. 

Good luck Doodledwarf!

Ah yeah fair, a team who finished 17pts behind another deserve to go up over them because they've been grinding it out for years? Same team that's been up and down from the PL more times than a whore's drawers, and only relegated in 2021?

Yeah, ok. Good example.

So you deserve to go up when you couldn't finish top 2 with the 2nd most cash and the 2nd best squad? Then YOU get to be the yo yo team, which is okay, but not okay for West Brom?

Sit down and enjoy your cheap matchday tickets for another season son.
