That was Egypt’s game… totally rigged. Don’t get me started on Trump - so glad Belgium pissed on his parade.

There's some hilarious conspiracy stuff out there. Apparently Portugal were definitely going to win because of numerology and because The Simpsons predicted it. Then when they went out the story changed to the mysterious "them" having got wind of how many people had seen their plans so they changed the winner to confound them.

Now it's definitely going to be England because it's 60 years since '66 so that gives you a 666 and clearly that's absolutely not a coincidence and very meaningful.

Much entertainment to be had with these loons.

Don't be so bonkers. If it was rigged, the USA would be winning.

Whilst I don't think England will win and don't care either way 666 would be a fun outcome. Thanks!

Taps side of nose and winks knowingly.

Sssshh! They still could but you didn’t hear it from me.

Argentina trounced them in the end, sorry Egypt, you just weren't good enough! Fantastic match though.

TheLightSideOfTheMoon · Today 09:28

Yes, it’s scripted.

Portugal are going to win.

Exactly this. It's the way of the World Cup, which is what makes it brilliant viewing. Much like Wimbledon, you get those moments of 'can they really beat them?!'.

It's 40 years since the hand of god incident. So England will lose to Argentine in the semi-final.

DH is still upset about that. We went to Naples where Maradona is practically deified and he spent a lot of time tutting loudly. 😆

But they are winning, they may have lost 4-1 and been knocked out. But they are still in it, and they are still winning, and will walk off with the trophy as they are the bestest team in the whole wide world, and after all they come from the oldest republic in the world at 250 years old

From his Speech
At 250 years, America is the oldest republic on Earth.
The White House on X: "President Donald J. Trump’s Historic Address at Mount Rushmore: Full Remarks on the Eve of America’s 250th Anniversary Distinguished guests and fellow citizens, tonight, we gather on the eve of one of the most extraordinary days in the history of the world. Tomorrow, we mark 250" / X

but shhh no one tell San Marino. The oldest republic in the world is San Marino, founded in 301 AD. It is recognized as the world's oldest surviving sovereign state and has a governing charter that has been in continuous use since 1600.

And is the pope catholic? It's all corrupt.

But it doesn't really matter? Just like WWF people watch for entertainment. It doesn't really matter if it is real or not, as long as it is entertaining.

Now that would be a turn up for the books

72 per cent on BBC website think Egypt were robbed.

This is what it feels like supporting a smaller club in the Premiership. Big team bias.
