That DiMaria looks handy. One of the big English clubs should take a look. Be interesting to see how he’d get on in the PL.

He was shite, lasted a month.

 

[The Future’s Blue!]

So glad Qatar were awarded the tournament, really showing how to put it on in all facets.

By the sounds of it they have done really well and took other things onboard as well.

 

[roy.or.r]

France players don’t care it seems. Have they even had a shot yet?

 

[Chi-town blues]

close from alvarez

 

[Don Karleone]

Just give us an Alvarez goal to wrap things up and this game couldn’t have gone better.

Hat trick for the golden boot, please.

Southgate is the equivalent of long covid

Except covid has a killer instinct

He was shite, lasted a month.

Didn't like Manchester weather. Wife hated Manchester and rest was done by Van Gaal

 

[gray740]

No yellow for golden bollocks ?

 

[Mr Blue Moon]

Lynsey DePaul needs another tattoo

No, honestly?

 

[kunaguero10]

Has a City player ever scored in a WC final? And scored and won?

 

[Manchester_lalala]

Argentina need to get Di Maria off and quick.

Why’s that? He’s been Argentinas best player.

 

[jollylescott]

Definitely not insecure, maybe a little paranoid. Feels like somebody is chasing my every post.

It seems like you’ve spent the entire thread having a go at Southgate ;-)

 

[BlueMonkey79]

France should have started Mbappe

 

[Josh_D]

That was a lovely take by Messi there. The Argies look like scoring almost every time they’re in the final third.

 

[Chi-town blues]

hahaha di maria never wanted to play for rags .. fact

 

[bluethrunthru]

Mbappe is being singled out as a flop - doubtless because of the pre-match talks - but I think Griezemans inactivity is equally to blame -I have only seen him heading a corner out in his own box than for him being any goal threat at the other end

 

[domalino]

Funny to remember Bruno Zuculini and De Paul were the 2 standout talents of the same Racing Club team.

And in 2015 Zuculini refused City’s preferred loan option because he wanted to go to Valencia with De Paul, where they both proceeded to go on the lash for 6 months.

De Paul got sent packing back to Argentina by none other than Gary Neville and decided to turn his career around. Zuculini bounced around half a dozen clubs on loan before just going back to Argentina and having a domestic career there.

US commentators talking about a Portuguese backup during the WC final.

Has a City player ever scored in a WC final? And scored and won?

No but de Jong did this

Alvarez saw rag **** right there
