2022 World Cup.

I was on about this to Missis T earlier on when a forummer mentioned Stones ( and others) spent all night knocking the ball sideways. He wasn’t wrong in saying that, But there in lies a massive problem for me. Who comes from the midfield to pick up the ball and lay it off. To create, to make the link between defence and midfield, usually two of the midfielders picked are defensive mids. Known more for stopping play rather than create. The lack of that creative midfielder means we struggle to play on the front front.
On another note, it is young Bradley Tashys 10th birthday next week. Missis Tash has booked us to go and see a Micheal Jackson Tribute act on Sunday. He loves Jacko. It Starts at 7.30.

? OH CRUEL HAND OF FATE WHY DO YOU MOCK ME Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh.
The game will be a THRILLER,
 
VAR is a joke. Football is becoming a laughing stock.

Actually though, it’s not a fault of VAR here , is it?

VAR let us see what happened, and it’s the idiot referee who saw an accidental contact made by the goalie as he followed through and caught the man who had a split second before knocked the ball away( with his head), and made the decision he did?.
Just because it happened in the pen area. It’s becoming a non contact sport, even when the contact is an accident.
Pathetic decision, ruining the game by encouraging cheating by exaggerating the effects of the contact.
Descartes must be turning in his grave.!

Argentina look a lot better tonight - do like the look of Fernandez , another very good South American playing in Portugal - hopefully Poland can hang on
 
I've gone across to the Mexico game. Lots of tension and excitement but Mexico utterly incapable of putting in a decent cross. Basic stuff. They've been in great positions timexand again
 
They get stuffed in the next round mind

So if we beat Senegal ,which I'm confident we will , we will most likely be playing France

Well that's going to defo be 2 holding midfielders, 5 at the back and hope for the best!
