Follow on from the last thread.

Typical first half of a World cup final.

Messi is really soiling his reputation in this world Cup.

He never came home till 5 pm. Quick snack quick nap then off again

though no corpses yet ………

I will water the plants as well, that is 40 minutes sorted

Gosh, dirty stop out! 😂

Yep that is true about that Mac allister not being booked

His name is now synonymous with cheating, yes.

Let's sum up the BBC pundits
"Argentina are cheating bastards and the ref is terrible"

I find it odd that Spain have the La Liga 12th place keeper goalkeeper as their first choice. Whilst the La Liga champion and Premier League Champions are on the bench. He has been good and barely conceded but.....

Just given my three cats Dreamies, even thinking of pushing Henry hoover around, if anyone can drown out Madonna, it’s Henry.

Are we all excited for the entertainment?!

Cripes here we go. Fucking cold play

That's so wrong, having half time entertainment. 😡

No

What am I watching now

Do we reckon shes singing live?

Miming and extra bright lighting to blank out the wrinkles.

Not a chance. None of them are.

I thought it was a football match ffs

Are you watching the same shite as me?!

There's your answer.

Her face looks like a mask bless her

no, she never has.

DH: she's got chubby Ronaldo next to her.

The players will have to warm up again surely

This is awful. Like Super Bowl meets Eurovision. Fuck off and leave our football alone.
