England gonna England

Ladies and gentlemen we are getting word that Harry Kane's penalty miss struck a migrant worker on the roof.

Almost feel bad for Kane. What a way to end his English career. Missing a penalty that could have tied the game and put him alone at the top of Englands all time scoring record books. Instead a long career will likely be ending with death threats from his own shitty fans.

Oof.

Kane is 29. He has another Cup run in him.

That would be hilarious if he is still their starting striker in 4 years.

The first strike for France was so fun. Just a perfect spot and it was hit so hard but did not look like it even took that much effort.
[Reply]

Yeah the ball had eyes, getting between the legs and then bending the way it did. The French may have a metaphysical advantage to advance.

Really happy for Tchouaméni! AS Monaco was the team that won me a few online League Titles in FIFA 2022. They were so fun to play with. Carried over to me watching a lot of their games last season and it’s no surprise that basically every team in the world wanted him.

It’s been a really fun World Cup with some really entertaining matches so far! Let’s hope these last few are just as fun! I think they should be!

I don’t think Morocco will be as much of an easy win for France as a lot of fans are probably thinking. If there is any RB that can slow down Mbappe (without having to double and triple team him like England had to) it is his teammate Hakimi. He’s got the speed to keep up, and obviously the advantage of knowing his tendencies more than anyone else matching up with him everyday in practice. That should be a really fun matchup to watch. Obviously Giroud is playing really well right now as well, though, so Ziyech and En-Nesyri will have to capitalize on any chances that open up for them. I think Morocco definitely have a good enough defense to grind out the game and they have the speed and talent on the right side to create some nice counter opportunities if France try to force passes into Mbappe that get intercepted. I don’t know if it will be enough to overcome France’s depth in the end, but don’t be surprised when that ends up in a close 1-0 result. Morocco’s defense is legit.

Croatia vs Argentina. Modric v Messi. What more can you say. Two of the best at their positions in what’s likely both of their final runs with their national teams. That’s going to be an intense match. Croatia plays a really good tactical counter style of play that can counter Argentina’s aggression. Croatia also have the experience with a lot of the team making it to the final last time as well so I wouldn’t count them out. Argentina should be the favorite, but this will be another grind it out tactical type of match.

There's a lot of people over here who like the England team but don't really care for England. The players are likeable and the manager is classy, no excuses yesterday and congratulated France. Stark contrast to the talentless degenerates we trotted out for decades.

Obviously our deranged media will be pricks about it, as will a load of fans. That's why I can always be almost as happy when we lose, because I know there's people like Womble having a miserable time, and there are a loooot of Wombles here.

This makes no sense whatsoever. You do realise that the same prick you're talking about is also a Chiefs fan, along with thousands of other pricks on this forum? Presumably you had a party after we lost the AFC Championship game last season. Flawed and stupid logic from someone pretending to care about his national team.

England gonna England. Disappointed but bizarrely I see it as a kind of progress because for the first time in ages we've gone out of a tournament with our head held up high. We played the game the right way and we didn't let ourselves down with a cowardly performance like we did against Italy in the Euros and Croatia in the '18 World Cup. At least there's that.

Ultimately we failed. Ah well.
[Reply]

No, and it's not hard to follow. Most Chiefs fans are decent, a large proportion of England fans and its entire media is not, and about 95% of Chelsea fans are awful. So no, I don't enjoy Chiefs losing, I can find a silver lining occasionally to England losing, and I can ALWAYS enjoy seeing Chelsea lose.
[Reply]

You said you can be "almost as happy when we lose". That's not a silver lining - that's just full on apathy. And if this forum is anything to go by then the Chiefs fans are made up from at least 50% cunts.

JPH83 you're exactly like the type of middle class liberals who are my neighbours. You would rather guillotine your own mother than sing your national anthem.
