No, you failed to address them. If you don’t have a good argument to produce it is better not to reply than to make up counter arguments to points nobody has made. Just makes you look bad, or should I say, like a 5 year old throwing a tantrum.

My post was to the point. It is yours that comes across as condescending. You failed to address the only point my post raised, which is the fact that pink washing is a serious issue that can have big consequences when looking at the bigger picture and it needs to be taken seriously. Enjoy the...

First match I’ve seen where VAR has reared its ugly head. So smooth operating before this.

Italy have to be perfect to win. France can play at 80% and win. That’s the difference.

Well, let’s start with the people some of these corporations are exploiting, the environment they are damaging, the taxes they are depriving, etc etc. Pinkwashing is a serious problem and a lot of corporations are guilty of it. There are many benefits that come with throwing yourself on the...

He has shown no remorse as far as I have seen. His crime is so horrific that it is hard to phantom that he will ever be let out. Norway sets the cap at 21 years unless there is danger of repeat offence and such but this case shows up the thoughtlessness of that legal system.

If waving rainbow flags is about standing up for equality then waving a Palestinian flag should be about standing up for human rights. I don’t understand the big hoopla. UEFAs rules are clear like ice water. Hypocritical to say they should make an exception for this movement, which has massive...

Crazy to say that wasn’t a foul. He knocked him out.

The best player for England is always that one guy who doesn’t play. Until he actually plays, and everybody turns on him as well.

Kipembe always looks so good when I see him play. Absolute unit.

Anyone bar messi will be quiet when teams play the way Hungary play. Not suited for midfielders to shine. This is a game for France forwards.

Philips and Rice is tooo much. Kane not playing at an elite level is compounds that.

The solution is not selective moralism. Or racially motivated self righteousness. Why did Norway decide to address Qatar all of a sudden? Will they make a stand against the WC in the US? We know that a big no. So in that lies tememdous hypocrisy. There is every right to question the motives of...

Good post. A boycott of Qatar would reek and be viewed as hypocrisy. All these Norwegians growing a conscious today will never bat an eyelid when the US will host the WC, despite Qatar looking like a fly in the jungle compared to the US when it comes to human rights abuses. Selective morality.
