Final 10 games of last season at SMS when Saints were flying, you had more limited sides visiting whose game-plan / chance was to kick the shit out of our players. You could gauge that if the ref carded an oppo player or two first 20 / 30 minutes the game would settle down quickly and allow football to be played, no card the visiting side would get emboldened and ramp it up. Many games in this world cup have felt like that, especially those involving the Argies.

England probably wouldn't have beaten Spain, final would have been less violent though. Awful reffing but that's one of the stand out points of this WC. The refs can't all be that incompetent so must have been obeying guidelines.

The final basically proved for sure that they were only able to get there because of ridiculously lenient refereeing. If their games were refereed fairly, they were an awful team.

So over the next two world cups it'll be in Europe, Africa, South America and Asia. That means in 2038 we will be treated to another North American spectacle. Aren't we lucky.

So glad the Argies lost. They deserved nothing more than humiliation. Good riddance to Messi too. Living here in the US, you hear nothing other than talk about Messi. He was completely anonymous today and needs to retire. This world cup has been a big, politicized mess. A few good games, but mostly hyped up, Americanized shit. The England v Ghana game that I attended was one of my worst football experiences. Utterly shit, soulless stadium in the middle of nowhere with the worst atmosphere imaginable. Tourists everywhere who are only interested in the "decibel meter," counting down to kick off, selfie sticks and collecting the cheap FIFA junk in the fan zones to flog on eBay. Having lived here for many years, I still despise the way they try and change everything to the American way and expect everyone to be grateful they did such a "great job." Here's to another 60 years of hurt!

FYI: Mark Carney is Prime Minister of Canada, not its president. Canada is a constitutional monarchy. Our Head of State is King Charles; he is represented in Canada by its Governor-General. The federal government is organized like the Westminster parliament.

If/when Charles goes I'd love to see if there's even a remote chance for Jordan James to come here. Bid ten million and you never know if some lower prem clubs don't fancy it.

But he loves losers! That's how he wins. Convinces losers that he is one of them, so they vote for him. 'No one' likes all of Trump; but draft dodgers like him because he is a draft dodger, fraudsters like that he is a fraudster, racists like that he is a racist, predators like him as he is a predator, tax evaders like him because he evades tax, business failures like him because he is bad at business, braggart like that he brags, con artists admire a con artist, cheaters like that he cheats, liars like that he lies, misogynists like that he is a misogynist, losers like him because he is a big crybaby loser. When the majority of people can have at least one bad quality, they can relate to that one thing in Trump, and ignore or dismiss the rest. Of course, most people won't recognise or admit that, and very often not to themselves, but that is the psychologically behind his political success. (Sorry, wrong forum. But yeah.)

He seemed to be saying “good job” to all of the Argies as he shook their hands. Strange given how hates losers.

Nice

Fatawu going to Ipswich for £20m. Doubt that means they can afford Archer, though. Similar to McCarthy, he isn't really a Martinball player. Archer needs time and space to thrive, not playing with his back to goal like the slow build up forces him to do. No doubt he'll score in League One, but once in this league he'll look poor again.

Cape Verde my fave team. Minnows that fought. Annoyingly think England could have won tonight but que sera sera. We'd have certainly put on more of a show than the Argies did.

Be like Sean

Delighted to see the classless Argentinians lose.

If you insist but youll need to supply your own lube. Need to meet me halfway.

There were some good matches but the whole razzamataz around the tournament was cringe worthy.

Ah no, I skipped that. Too obvious.

OMG I can't stand him. He actually makes me want to leave the room. He says the most blindingly obvious statements you can possibly think of. So thick and I haven't heard one insightful original comment from him. Glad youre pleased though 😁

So painful watching Trump, so awkward!

So satisfying to see those argie pricks crying. Trump trying to gatecrash lifting the trophy. Brilliant. Utter wank from the USA, hope it's never there again, but it will be, annoyingly.

Surprised he didn't present himself with a winners medal.

I watched that with my Argentinian wife who was actually so embarrassed about what went on in that game she was actually relieved that Spain won it. When it was 0 - 0 she said how ashamed she was at their approach to the match.

Trump is the John Terry of the celebrations, trying to get involved.

Trump 😂😂😂
