I don’t normally like accusing refs of corruption, as usually they’re just incompetent. But you do have to ask the question after last night. The refs performance was just so strange. There were clear elbows and punches thrown and the ref/VAR did nothing except book French players… insanity

This is the problem. Statistics and data can be manipulated to show whatever to you like. You can find arguments for and against it. Therefore any “data” is rendered meaningless. Better to zoom out and ask yourself “is Britain declining or succeeding”. The answer, Brexit or no Brexit, is declining. Due to (in large part) the the reasons the ‘leave’ side were highlighting. Does Brexit harm business? Sure, it’s a fair question, but ultimately it’s a tiny blip compared to the rise in energy costs, inflation, stupid rules that favour scroungers instead of good workers, bureaucracy, taxes, etc. To blame Brexit for the UK’s problems, to me, shows that someone has very little experience in what is actually happening in the real world. You can not tax your way into a great society. You have to earn it, nurture it, grow it, by incentivising & rewarding hard work.

Worst referee I have ever seen. It made it a great game, as it gave Paraguay a chance. But fuck me

I hate France as much as the next man, but this refereeing has been horrendous. Paraguay are proper shit houses.. it’s disgusting but I could watch it all day so I really hope they can equalise and send it to ET. This is the scary part about France tbf. They’re so, so good but also physical and unphased by this. You just know they’ll find a way through any challenge. I’ll be amazed if they don’t win the cup

I love it

How are Cape Verde so good? They literally look better than us 😂

OH MY GOD

Astonishing result, whatever happens next. Can’t believe that. Absolutely love football.

Goalkeeper doing keepy ups 😂😂 What a guy

Have to say, Croatia disallowed goal aside, the refereeing has been generally excellent in this tournament. Game flows so much better than the premier league. They let a lot of the physical stuff go. It’s great.

Feels like Argentina will score before ET. We’ll see…

Was just going to go to bed thinking it was a boring, foregone conclusion. And the unthinkable happened. What a World Cup. Come on Cape Verde.

The worst part is being Monday morning. Gonna fuck your whole week up. If it was a Thursday or Friday I’d probs go for it.
