Bad showing this cup for Concacaf Thunder.

Messi hatrick tonight

Senegal pump Engerland

Lions get W's for remainder of season.

Just checked the above treble odds on betfair...., stake £1.00........, richer than Elon Musk if it comes in ----->> but...., no chance Messi with the hatrick!!

I'd take the 2nd two for a buck. Not messi - I don't buy into the Argentina hype train.

Denmark is the Purdue or Tennessee (Rick Barnes) college basketball equivalent of this World Cup. High expectations and no shows. Embarrassing.

Whatever. Go team USA!

I think I saw that the Aussies play winner of Argentina/Poland match. Australia vs Poland to make the top 8 is not something I think anyone saw coming if it happens.

France just played their "B" team v Tunisia. 1-0 loss......., but the French scored, and VAR chopped it off 3 minutes later. Something new every day with the VAR.

And the Aussies eh? Very good that they made it into the knockout stages but very embarrassing for us Scots. Five World Cups in a row 74 - 90 plus 98 and no progression out of the group stages.

Favourite fact about the World Cup, (Keeps me happy & thats favorite for Jaadam)......, only home nation at the 1978 World Cup and the only country in that World Cup to beat the Netherlands over 90 minutes. Argentina needed extra time in the final.
We're still fucking shit though.

England will get past Senegal I think but winner likely plays France after that. That is a tough road.

Panoptes......., you lurking?

Look. ...., A Senegal top.

....., its from China though! Hmmmm.

You think it'll arrive before kick-off?

[Marko69]

It's too bad the US has no striker, they would have won that game versus England.

Agree totally.

African Cup of Nations Champions Senegal pump England in last 16 ---->> BOOK IT

[froot loops]

Yeah, the English press had no respect for the US. It's too bad the US has no striker, they would have won that game versus England.

[Marko69]

Over here, people talk about how dreadful Engeerrrrland were first half v USA......., but I thought the USA were great first half; nothing to do with England being poor. Reproduce that first half and there is a glimmer of hope vs The Ned...... just a glimmer though, nothing more.

[froot loops]

The US kind of sucks parking the bus. They need the midfielders to control the game like they did in the group stage.

[Marko69]

Park the Greyhound, catch them on the break…… USA QF

[kreton]

I was a little surprised to hear abdomen. Looked like his head got rocked on the play. But Saturday is a ways away. Hope he is there. Netherlands is a stacked team.

[froot loops]

I'm surprised he was able to finish out the half. He could barely move going into the locker room. They are reporting he's at the hospital. They haven't said anything about Sargent. It didn't look good though.
