Live Match Discussion 2024/25

I can't remember the deets petites, but the Qatar world cup was a bit of a joke. Not on the stage, but there was some right cunts (salt bae? Infantino?) walking round the pitch with players, holding the actual world cup aloft.

 

[Tredman]

Yep, but actually on stage for lifting the trophy? Nah.

BTW - what the heck happened to that Bae wierdo? Totally vanished.

 

[Del Woppio]

I do wish Reece James had just shoved him off the stage

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

I think Palmer wanted him to fuck off

I mean, I agree that Trump is a prick but I'm not gonna cry any tears for a cheating shithole club like Chelsea having their 'beautiful moment destroyed'

 

[Tredman]

To be fair Palmer and the rest of them are stood on a stage with a big gold trophy behind them all entirely financed by a covert bribe to host the World Cup.

 

[BillyDee]

And got it all again next summer at the actual World Cup.

I'm not sure Palmer has given it that much thought, they're *just* footballers.

But Trump staying there was a dick move, and Trump knows less about football than a 2015 Jeff Shi.

 

[Del Woppio]

So about on a par with 2025 Jinky

Would you believe he’s an enormously toxic piece of shit? Shocking, I know.

 

[Alan]

I would certainly appreciate it if there was less “fuck that country” (no one has said those words specifically tbc) and more “fuck Trump”.

I’m paying the bills for the stupidity of my people, too. I’d really like for the World Cup to stay as removed from all of that shit as possible.

I can’t just let Trump ruin literally everything good that he shows his face at. The narcissistic cunt will get his. In the meantime, I can’t let him poison the World Cup (more than it already has been with 48 nations and 3 hosts, anyway).

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

He will look at the 2022 ceremony with some Qatari draping Messi in national dress for the trophy lift and wish to emulate it.

So some poor cunt will get to lift the World Cup in a fucking MAGA cap.

 

[White Wolf]

Thought Trump being in the middle of the celebrations was pretty fitting for the tournament, shame Infantino wasn't also on stage for the final moment. The two could have lifted the trophy themselves and then handed it over!

Almost thirty minutes for half-time? I hate the precedent that will set.

 

[Tredman]

International Women’s football seems so much more enjoyable than men’s.

 

[Dublin Drummer Wolf]

RTE (Irish state broadcaster) are showing the Euros QF between Norway and Italy tonight instead of the CL Qualifier between Shelbourne and Linfield.
It's caused a bit of a controversy as we dont have a team in the Euros, while tonight the most successful team in Irish football are playing the LOI champions, and there’s nowhere in Ireland showing it
Even more annoyingly, RTE showed the first leg last week. Yeah, thanks RTE. “We’ll show the first leg, but surely no one will be bothered with the 2nd leg. ”

Did Jess Carter win a competition to be in the England side

 

[Sniffer]

For me she was Englands best defender at the World Cup a couple of years ago. Has looked dicey in this game and against the French.

 

[jd1981]

And again running in treacle

 

[Loki]

Carter's having a stinker.

 

[Hereford Wolf]

England being outclassed
