Ayatollah Hermione 15532 Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 I enjoyed watching PSG/Atletico, I must admit. Both teams played it at a better pace than I expected and PSG are just a joy to watch. Palmeiras were decent too but I only lasted until half time in that before I went to Kip. In theory, it’s not a bad idea but everything about the execution is absolutely atrocious. An exercise designed to make the rich richer played at a fucking stupid time. Plus, these kick off times are a nice warm up for the World Cup. Which will have 104 games btw Staying up until 2 am to watch Ecuador play Australia. What a life 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig 8177 Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 Infantino's vanity project. It's tremendous to see it being such a car crash. Delaney is being an absolute prick about it though claiming that in 95 years we've never had a 10-0 scoreline at the actual world cup and when people pointed out Yugoslavia beat Zaire 9-0 (6-0 HT) in 1974, Delaney's response was "it wasn't 10-0". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'll be why Delaney has got issue with it then. I'm surprised he hasn't tried to level some of the blame on NUFC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 38583 Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 Good article that. By the way FIFA have also removed any anti-racist and anti-discriminatory messaging that this usually see at the World Cup. Citing their politically neutral stance. It was always a bit all fart and no shit anyway but at least the messaging was right. This is basically how far we’ve regressed 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
