He has destroyed his legacy. My estimation of him plummeted when I heard the news. Of all the clubs he could have gone to, he chose the most plastic, despicable of them all just to line his pockets.

I just remembered an old anecdote I heard years ago about Gazza. It's nothing big, just a fun little story. It never made the papers to my knowledge so I think it's quite obscure. I can attest this is not an urban legend. I heard it from my father who was told by Viking players he knew. It's sad...

Indeed you are right which makes this so depressing.

I'll settle for an incredibly unjust decision to decide the game in Italy's favour. Or maybe we need to call the Germans.

British culture has really taken a nosedive the last few years. The older generation would be ashamed to boo the national anthem. And nobody seems to care either. It will not end well I think.

They stopped having world cups in South America. Brazil was the first time since the late 70s a world cup had been played in South America. Brazil reached the semi and Argentina played a tight final with Germany. Currently only Brazil and Germany have managed to win a title on the enemy's...

A bogus penalty and an own goal it is then. The final is going to be a shit fest. Ref better bring a full deck of cards.

You can't buy refs like you used to, but apparently you can buy VAR. No wonder England is looking up these last tournaments. They've untied the Italian knot.

So polite of the Danes to score a goal for England when they couldn't do it themselves.

That thing on Philips' head looks like it could snap his neck.

I'd hate to see Sterling miss a penalty.

Me too, it's ridiculous. I get the point, they are trying to pick the very best, but really who is the best scorer: Goals in less minutes, or goals against lesser opposition? Was Salenko equal to Stoichkov in 94? There is just no way to make it fair like that.

Probably best Euro there ever was. Fantastic Dutch team that went out in a cracking game against Italy. In the final everybody expected Italy to sit back but they came out storming. Late equalizer by Wiltord before Trezeguet scored a golden goal in extra time. 2004 was a terrible, tumescent...

From what I've seen England has the worst gutter press in the world. Other countries tend to keep a veneer of respectability. In England the mask is well and truly off and nothing is left in between to satisfy the readership.

If you're not Brazil, Germany or Italy it's pretty damn hard to win a world cup. Just reaching a final is special. Croatia was the first true underdog to reach the final since 1962.
