Re: World Cup 2022 Forum

A great final. Well played by both. Two champions in Messi and Mbappe. THe sesecond Argentine goal was brilliant. Something you would expect on a PlayStation game. This tweet has a Spanish and English commentary on the winning penalty. Quite a difference in passion. https://twitter.com/BeefSmelling...

Re: World Cup 2022 Forum

Protected? Nothing like Kane. Take your blinkers off for just once, and just state how good he is without your usual caveat - great but.... Same with every goal that is scored, you find fault with a defender or GK or ref or.... Kane is protected, when did this start happening? Not sure of excat dat...

Re: World Cup 2022 Forum

Hope the Argies can do it, have no allegiances but love what Messi has done for this wonderful game I would echo your sentiments- nothing against the French but would be the perfect time for Messi to retire from international football with a win. He has been the most wonderful footballer in recent ...

No- I thought it might go by the name 'Football'. That way it would make perfect sense.

Going to be a cracking world cup. Short preparation time. Could mean a few shock results. Best chance for a while for someone new to lift the trophy. Most world cups before this one, were after the season has ended. This one is smack in the middle of the season, so all players (unless injured) shou...

Re: Champions League 22/23

If above is accurate :shock: it makes Celtic's win over their arch rivals (Rangers) even more impressive. Tipping Celtic to take something from Real Madrid in a scoring draw (would be amazed if it was 0-0) so 3-3 looks the logical way to go. Should be an open game with lots of chances. Go Ange's Bho...

The performance and the result was what I hoped for though I genuinely expected a tougher game. Celtic's quick thinking contributed to two goals- Jota's finish was class and the give away goal late on summed up Rangers' day.
