It is officially World Cup Month

Argentina always get built up but take away Messi there isn't that much talent.

Awesome. Well done Saudi Arabia. The amount of time the ref added on, it was almost like the ref thought Argentina was Qatar or something.

Apparently the fourth officials have been told to add up stoppages properly instead of just defaulting to 3 mins if there isn't an injury, so 8+ mins of extra time is likely going to be the norm this world cup.

That would explain why in a lot of the games I have watched so far, there seems to be a lot of added time.

Did you mean 1950?

i Knew it was somewhere around that time

Yup but we scored 6. We won’t keep many clean sheets with our defence. Southgate said post match he was annoyed at the 2 goals. I prefer Dier to Maguire at CB, but it’s certainly not our strongest area. Attack wise I can’t think of another team with such an embarrassment of riches.Grealish, Foden, Saka, Kane, Bellingham, Maddison, Sterling, Rashford ..

Six of the best I say.........Our goals were fabulous.

But you still did not bet on the Saudi's lol.

Good shout, English supporter!

I hope they do win it, as I do in every tournament they play in. There will always be political noises around every tournament, but I can't do anything about that. I can just support my team, win or lose, just like Southend.

You seem to be questioning the loyalty I have for my Country.

What part of the Military did you serve in again? I might have served or know someone you served along side!!

Bet you that Wales & USA won't score 6 but won't conceed 2 either.

So what, you aren't no better than anyone else because of military service.

Bet you England finish top of the group! Not sure what the point is other than looking for something to criticise ..

Other than the twerp doing VAR I don’t think anyone saw a potential penalty for Iran….who’s to say USA and Wales won’t get caught out similarly with equally ridiculous decisions….

I was asking whether you support the English football team, and that has nothing to do with loyalty to your country. As for serving in the Military, well, no I haven't, but that is totally irrelevant to my post as well.

You really didn't ask that at all.

Am I a mens English football team supporter, absolutely not. Do I support the Women, then, the answer is yes.

The mens game is getting out of control...

I'll make sure I'm more precise next time, if there is one.

My bet is a genuine one.Loser pays a tenner to SZ.Sorry not interested in your counter bet -have already said that's what will happen.

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

Can we all play nicely please? Folks who aren’t interested in the England men’s team fair enough but please don’t rain the parade of those who are while the men’s WC is on.

I don’t really care how many Wales & USA put past Iran, nor concede. The point is qualification no? Just ask Argentina! But sure .. if the Zone stands to get £10 whatever, I’ll take your bet.

 

[Kat_r]

Happy for wales. Think they can get 3 past iran. Hope their keeper is ok

For someone who has no interest in it, you post a lot about it.

Can't understand not wanting England to win, but if you don't then don't comment

Having got Saudi Arabia in the sweep I'm obviously going to clean up.
Wondering my cash out?
