Nice to see the US winning! AMAZING to see England finally play as they should

AMAZING to see England finally play as they should

Maybe they think they're playing Iran....

Mad props though to English Lion Marcus Rashford --excuse me, Sir Marcus Rashford-- on his two goals thus far; that second goal was England's 100th World Cup Finals goal, according to the Guardian.

 

[Webster]

So basically @PGen98 we've seen in Christian Pulisic and Marcus Rashford the soccer versions of naval legends John Paul Jones and Thomas Cochrane.... 😎

Basically, yeah, lol

 

[Webster]

Won't be watching it.

Loving this display so far!

*looks around* Frankie, you're missing a helluva display today....

 

[Webster]

From the Guardian's live-blogs (first IRI-USA, then WAL-ENG).....
(The Guardian) 85 min: The next 10 minutes or so, will be a wave of Iran attacks. Not great for the nerves of either set of fans.

82 min Gianni Infantino’s self-satisfied coupon appears on the big screen, prompting a chorus of boos.

 

[Webster]

Full-time: Iran 0-1 USA
The US have done it! They are through to the last 16.

 

[PGen98]

Good job, US.

@PGen98, now I know what we need to rebuild the Staff Chat....

...refurbished shipping containers! If it worked for Qatar's Stadium 974, it can work here too. ...

I see one of the greatest footballers of our generation, possibly of all time, and one cheating drug addict...

 

[Webster]

and one cheating drug addict...

...who contributed one of the slickest goals of all time...

 

[Webster]

Fun fact, Gen: on his 60th birthday, Diego Maradona was asked if he had any birthday wishes...his wish?
"I'd like to score a goal against England with my right hand."

Disgusting cheat. Totally ruined his legacy time after time and people still worship him. If he'd just kept to football, and not cheating and drugs, he'd have gone down as a true legend of the sport. Instead, he's a disgrace.

Just don't get Argentinians started with regards to Las Islas Malvinas....

 

[PGen98]

Just don't get Argentinians started with regards to Las Islas Malvinas....

The Falklands, you mean?

 

[Webster]

The Falklands, you mean?

Oh yeah, I forgot that name.... *adds deadpan* Anti-Thatcherian slip of the tongue there.

 

[PGen98]

Oh yeah, I forgot that name.... *adds deadpan* Anti-Thatcherian slip of the tongue there.

It's the name the people of the Falklands elected to continue to be called when they voted to stay part of Britain.
