All the posturing in the media and then suddenly England are scared of yellow cards. I think it`s fine to be careful about the rules but don`t be all up in the media before the World Cup saying you`ll be doing this and that. Full of principles except when it is not convenient.Never thought I'd be bored watching a 6-2 but that was fecking dull. Felt like watching a pre season game. Iran were beyond awful.
Also didn't help that the ref seemingly wanted the game to go on for longer than the actual world cup.
Also, without meaning to be a party pooper, not wearing an armband because nasty FIFA threatened you with the hideous punishment of a yellow card, is absolutely pathetic. The whole point was meant to be that basic rights are more important than a game of football. If you don't want to protest the second it would actually mean something and make a statement, rather than just allowing you to pretend to be a good person, then you make yourself a part of the problem. Genuinely ashamed of that and tbh makes me give significantly less of a shite if England do well or not.
Keano had something to say about that - as always the man identified the contradiction.
