Follow on from the last thread.

If this is you introduction to football, but Trump likes wrestling

I'm surprising myself when I say I've bloody loved Rooney in this World Cup

World Cup finals are generally a let down.

I don't think so

Argentina surely have to get forward and try to score. Cos if they let Spain score first... But still showing little sign so far.

And really really admires cheating.

Got a special little camp bed at the back of the plastic box!

And here he comes 🙏

Ugh Simeone will never be a name to celebrate

Merino on

I wish shout man would STFU.

With gold plated legs on the camp bed.

Yep, if Robbie is there , then Barlow will follow.
Blobby, Barlow , Robbie and Mc cartney. What a line up

I thought it was a robot speaking

same it's very grating!

Hahah the BBC commentator just called the shouty guy a bingo caller!

So Argentinian president Javier Milei, when asked if he was attending the game, replied, "No way. I'm going to keep watching all the games from Olivos.” He further elaborated on his superstition, saying, “Since it's cold and I don't turn on the heat, I wear an oil company-branded jacket. The day of the Switzerland game, it made me really hot. I took it off, and they scored a goal against us. I put it back on and never took it off again."

Makes total sense. 😂

It would be the best camp bed. A camp bed like no other.

Did they think they might not have a full house for the World Cup final? Not a lot of call for it?

Is he reading this thread?! 😂

Come on Spain

Everyone says so.

If Spain do manage to score let's hope they don't decide to sit back and defend a 1-0 lead 👀

All this is good for Mbappé and the golden boot!
