Croatia dappled grey horses, no superstars apart from Modric but they blend very well

Thinking about who I was out for a drink with he’d have needed to be

I posted this a while back, RIP Doddie you handsome bastard ( @wykikitoon Carl Hogg was on Kevin Sinfield’s charity bike ride from Edinburgh to Manchester the other week) “Met Weir a couple of times in my youth (some mates played against him at school/youth games, I liked rugby but was never near that level) once I was escorting the cousin of one of his Scotland teammates out for a drink… things were going ok, then he walked into the bar we were in with his mate Carl Hogg (Hogg now married to Jill Douglas, BBC sports reporter and CEO of the DWF) my date immediately made a beeline for these two very tall athletic looking lads, I was introduced and after pointing out some mutual friends I was mostly silent, she spent the next hour heavily flirting with them and other rugby types. Didn’t see her again. “

England only drew because they were on ITV. They’re back on BBC on Tuesday v Wales . They also got beat 0-0 v Scotland in their run to the final at last years Euros. All will be fine

Isn’t she some sort of female Laurence Fox who shagged her way into a Tory parliamentary nomination? Fair play like but I’ve no sympathy for her. She’ll end up as a talking head on GBeebies, keeping the cash from the grift rolling in…

These yanks burnt themselves out after an hour v Wales ffs, chill out my Anglian brethren. Or are you going to continue to be pussies because England don’t look like Brazil 1970?

JOCK BASTARDS 🤣

In other news …. Flew from Southampton to Glasgow this morning, picked a car up a drove here, about two hours north of Fort William where an old mate is getting married tomorrow….not sure if I’ll see the game tonight 😆

His piss poor first touch for his second goal didn’t fool me

Some player. Bizarrely he’s in the Argentina 78 Scotland strip In that pic

Yeah he looks well in that pic… two months in Spain will do that for you

I think Fist or Alex might be able to name all these …. Toonpack you’re banned

Fuckin Raphina…. Javier Manquillo took him to the fuckin cleaners earlier this year…he’s a canny enough player but Brazilian international standard?…🤔

Paqueta has offered fuck all

Were Canada above or below their Xg last night Dave?

Ignoring the pathetically paranoid and just plain wrong mackems I think there will be more push back at Liverpool than at any other club should the proposed new owners be a bit iffy on the old human rights front. If you’re 50+ and actually a scouser after watching the amount of silverware they’ve put in the cabinet over the years it’s going to be a lot easier to let them go than it would be for any NUFC supporter (I thought I had strong principles before October 17 2021, turns out I was wrong ) Thing is their gigantic world wide support means their new owners will be the ones who offer FSG the most money, and the spirit of shankley types will then be left with a problem….

No Fab for the Swiss 😡

Thankyou your royal pointlessness 😀

It’s only Xg that’s nonsense Dave, other stats are great

It doesn’t matter Andrew mate. Do the stats suggest Canada should’ve finished more of the chances they created by any chance?

Aye, I should’ve analysed their Xg or their fast sprints or something before I committed to suggesting they were any good

Spain arent my dark horses, they’re like a nice sort of light chestnut colour, they’re obviously one of the better sides but they’re a bit below the media radar…. I just think about how they exited the euros last year, on pens v Italy after a fabulous game. Not being mentioned by many, Balague just completely played down their chances on 5 Live but I was really impressed with them last year

Scotland still won’t fuckin qualify 😞
