The backing down from the European nations certainly reflects badly on them, only willing to take a stand for LGBTQ+ rights if there are absolutely no negatives consequences. I would imagine there will be some form of protest at the final group stage game if some of them will be going home...

First bit of good atmosphere was during the Wales match after Bale's penalty. Stadiums have been pretty dead other than that. I suppose it is just the first match of the first round so no jeopardy involved to psych up the crowd. Will be interesting to see if things improve as the tournament...

Ronaldo is utterly relentless.

He is a good man to have on the subs bench. Has a knack for getting space in the box and getting a shot off. Don't think he should be a starter mind.

About horlicks of a performance today. Two penalties missed for Ronaldo then to give that at the other end. :confused:

I can't be having Cox's argument that Messi is better at his sport than Usain Bolt was at his. All 7.5 billion people have had a go at running at some point in their lives. Bolt is unquestionably the fastest man who has ever lived. Lionel Messi is only debatably the greatest footballer ever...

A frustrating day at the office we had more than enough chances to win the game but our attackers not quite on song today. Still onward and upwards to Roma!

It's a nonsense having him on as your Manchester United pundit on a panel, he hates the club. Stands in sharp contrast to the one man Leeds United cheering section that is Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink.

This is huge but will be very surprised if it sticks, cities owners have the money to pay for appeal lawyers until time stops. Still might push Pep out the door/give him an excuse to leave.

I fancy Belgium to pip France and then handle either Croatia or England in the final. They have a front three that are just humming along and are solid at the back (10 minutes against Japan aside) Still I would not be surprised if any of the teams won it from here, I would quite like a new...

He is perhaps the most annoying player in the history of the game. In terms of talent he is capable of doing anything, however he is held back by his poor attitude, mental fragility and pathological need to dive and whine at the slightest contact. It must be tearing him apart knowing that the...

If it is a question of talent and technical ability then Messi is inarguably the better player. However football isn't only about that. Ronaldo's drive to improve, tremendous mental strength and cast-iron will to win elevate him to a level above Messi. Put it this way if I was selecting a...

It's definitely troubling. Gambling addiction is a destroyer of lives, the ubiquity of Gambling adverts during and around matches must have an effect on the people watching. Invariably the most vulnerable people in society are hit hardest by gambling problems, just look at the number of...

I am sure that he will find himself in another premier league job before too long, he is too big a name not too. I think that Keane's temperament precludes him from being a success in management longterm. I can see him being a short term fixer coming in and firing a rocket up a teams rear end...

The strongest squad in world football. They have a solid (If hateful) defence. A midfield unit that is up there with any in the world. At any one time they have half a dozen players capable of making game changing interventions e.g. Bale in the final. Having said that there is undoubtedly a...
