World Cup 2026

can it be any worse than having some sort of celebrity chef involved in the trophy presentation as per Qatar?

With Trump, it absolutely bloody can get worse. Bear in mind the winners are already getting specially designed rings, which is a perfect metaphor for all the "ring-kissing" those around Trump get involved in.

of course - it will be hideous. I mean a half time show and silly rings. ffs.

EDIT - what's all this southing about? This is just awful.

 

[Ivor]

They should have delayed kick off a bit longer, didn’t switch on until few minutes before the alleged kick off, I assume Trump strode out onto the centre circle with YMCA blaring?

We were, at least, spared that!

 

[OuterDistant]

Whoops! I forgot to put my bet down on "Port Vale gets mentioned!"

 

[D1511]

This ref might as well be wearing an Argentinian jersey. Appalling.

 

[AlterEgo]

Argentina will have to slash someone with a knife to get carded here.

 

[SuspectUsual]

Finally a yellow card

 

[D1511]

Good grief .....he's actually given one!
But the MacAllister challenge was ludicrous

 

[DarloRich]

well that was a fun first half...........................

 

[SuspectUsual]

I’m just off to read the complete works of Dostoevsky. I’ll be back in time for the second half.

At this rate we will be up still at midnight even without ET & pens

I literally said this to my mate earlier. Corrupt, corrupt, corrupt.

 

[SuspectUsual]

To be fair it was a neat idea to have a half time show where the quality was equal to the half of football that preceded it

 

[JamesT]

Is it just me, or does the commentator saying ‘Yamal’ sometimes sound like ‘Yer Mom’?

 

[Minilad]

Not sure which is worse. The football or the half time "entertainment"

At least Rooney had the nerve to say "it was crap".

 

[Peter0124]

I must be one of the few who enjoyed the half time show. Mind you, making it the normal 15 minutes would've been way better for the game.

 

[Minilad]

I heard him say something was crap. I assumed he was on about his managerial career

 

[JamesT]

Dear Spain, if you aim your shots away from the bloke in fluorescent green you might actually score

 

[Spamcan81]

Harsh but fair.

 

[D1511]

At least they're trying......Argentina have had exactly 0 attempts on goal as the clock ticks past 90 minutes......

 

[brad465]

The world is going to end...an Argentine player has been sent off.

 

[Spamcan81]

Red card for Argentina. Oh dear. What a shame. Never mind.

 

[AlterEgo]

Haha have some of that you filthy swine.

 

[DarloRich]

stupid, stupid boy - silly challenge. Should have been a straight red. Mind how you go! How's them Malvinas son?

 

[dosxuk]

How long does it take for Trump to get the red overturned with the argument it's not fair that Argentina only have 10 players now?

 

[brad465]

If Spain go onto win this Trump will be deporting that referee.

 

[D1511]

What the hell were they arguing about, the s*housers

 

[DarloRich]

Only 4 minutes of injury time? Trump must need to be away
