FIFA straight fucking insane with these kit rules. Never gonna see Spain in red and blue ever again.

yeah it is shit

There's a whole FIFA subcommittee that spends all its time brainstorming petty niggling ways to spoil every tournament

brazil not wearing blue shorts hurts my feelings

Kind of rooting for Iran but a Spanish goal is starting to feel inevitable

good save and should be yellow imo

spain wont be long scoring tho

the headline for the online version of that mail piece is 'A football hero England can be proud of: How magnanimous, gentlemanly Harry Kane conjures up memories of Bobby Moore rather than his scandal-tainted predecessors as captain':

In interviews, Kane — not even born when Bobby Moore died in 1993 — says he was inspired by two past England captains when making his way in the game: Wayne Rooney (who, somewhat ironically, gave him advice on the company he should keep) and David Beckham, who hails from the same East London manor, and attended the same school.

However, Google the names Rooney and Beckham along with ‘scandal’ and you will find all manner of lurid allegations, playing away from home being the common denominator.

Do the same with Kane and one finds only one slur: that he once teased Liverpool supporters over a dubious penalty decision.

When it comes to romance, Harry is strictly a one-woman man. In his teens, he began dating Kate Goodland, an apple-cheeked fitness instructor whom he has known since primary school, and says he could never countenance going out with a lingerie model or C-list celeb.

it's basically the usual hypocritical clutching of pearls from the same paper that gives you a sidebar full of salacious garbage. not really anti-sterling though

Fuck! Thought they'd scored then

there is such a pleasure to watching games when you're truly neutral

Bobby Moore himself no stranger to the clutching of pearls, emeralds, etc. Xps

And now Spain have

Rats

and here we go

Costa's Knee, one of my favourite movies

that was so unlucky, now I want iran to score

jammy bastards

rmde

floodgates gonna open now with Iran getting more forward. Spain's attack was impressive prior to the goal.

When Iran beat Portugal they'll go thru anyway

would be so happy if that happened

Get fucking in!

looooooooool

ohhhh fuck noooo

Oh, fuck off VAR

Oh no.

Come on var

Yeah, ruled out.

VAR will tear us apart

;_;

I think he was off

Arrrrgh. He probably was, but way to fuck up the game

The entire tournament is ruined.

Spain better put their foot on the gas

Cool, just as the game is coming to the boil, kill the excitement. Football to be storyboarded like WWE imo

I mean, fuck, like we have a surplus if fucking goals at this tournament

The entire tournament is ruined.

If Spain win by more than one it means Iran would have to beat Portugal by at least a couple to finish 2nd I think.

lol if it was the other way round we'd all be loving it.

If Iran beat Portugal they will have six points and Portugal will have four.

Nah, Iran have three points already, if they beat portugal they go through

Still prefer VAR over these kit rules in a choose your own torture way. Too many cagey first halves also killing the vibe (makes #PORESP seem even better I guess).

Xpost

Thanks I fucked up my maths

wow

that was almost an orgy in the box

Lol @ the Iran players just throwing themselves onto the goal line.

Somehow decided Portugal had 6 already, and I'm sober.

Fuck rooting against Spain unless you're actually Iranian btw

What’s VAR got to do, got to do with it?

The goal wasn’t given to begin with it, it was flagged offside. VAR just confirmed it was the right decision.

(Still wish it would have counted obviously)

Fuck Spain

Fuck hating football
