Yes, but USUALLY, if a topic is boring and they aren't interested, they keep their fingers quiet and read a different topic. They feel no need to put their two pence in.

Unless one wants to be a twat waffle that is....

You do you boo!

You find it boring
That's fine.
Boring isn't an objective judgement. You finding it boring doesn't make other people who don't find it boring wrong. Quite why people think their opinion is fact is beyond me.

I never said it was fact....I agree it's an opinion. Of course.
My gripe is that it's forced upon us unlike any other sport. It's the assumption that we all love it that pisses me off.

Interested in this thread?

But who has done that? Who has assumed that? Why would anyone?
I just don't get it. You are choosing to engage in this. Yes lots of places engage in it. Tesco has a 'come on england' poster up. They don't assume everyone is interested. They assume lots are. Which is true.

No one cares that you aren't interested.

Eh? When did she say she was hurt by the win? Why would you be delighted? How nasty. Would you like it if I said I'm delighted England losing to Argentina hurt you so much?!!
What a tool

It's very difficult to defend FIFA during this tournament.

Absolutely. Well fucking done Spain.

You do realise our winter is someone else’s Summer and this was a WORLD cup?
If you are a typical Burnham supporter, then we are in trouble.

I might not be a typical Burnham supporter. I didn't say anything to suggest that I'm any sort of a Burnham supporter, let alone a typical one.

Cant say i agree with every decision the referree made, but at least he didnt come across as completely biased unlike some of his colleagues earlier in the competition who knelt down at the feet of Messi.

Glad hernandez got a.red card. Wonder if he will get a load of grief locally.

The last World Cup was in winter due to its location.

but generally the World Cup is held in the leagues off season so players can go.

and it's laughable that the British government would have much influence on when it's held. For one thing there are much bigger issues for the government to deal with than when the World Cup is held.

Oo, you are serious.

Grandmistress991 · 19/07/2026 23:29

Oh gawd forgot the orange blimp had to make an appearance. Glad he and his suck up infantino got booed.

Didn't watch last night but was very pleased this morning to see that Spain won!

Why do you think that the British government would have any influence over the timings of the World Cup?! (Which had always been in summer, btw).

That first disallowed goal was a terrible decision and could have cost Spain the World Cup. But overall, the red card was the deciding factor that changed the deadlock so can't say the refereeing was bias.

It will still be the best we've ever done though.

We???
