2022 World Cup Discussion

Respect your elders, young man. You'll be old one day!

I am feeling that every day mate - 61 and counting

 

[Impeccable One]

Yes. England even losing a semi or even the final would not register anywhere near as much as City losing to Brentford did.

I’m actually shocked you deemed it necessary to check.

I get more upset when City lose than when I lose a semi ! [emoji15]

 

[Barcon]

I have stopped correcting my Dad when he tells me Cody GoPro is a great player - I just suppress the laughter - my Dad is 85 this coming year in his defence

No idea who that is but if he’s good enough for your dad, he’s good enough for me.

Given the replies, everyone seems to be in agreement with your opinion and frankly I'm shocked. The team that represents my country is far more important to me than the city/state teams.

Your on the wrong forum here mate,...serious question who is your favourite English team ?

You’ll be telling us you cried when the Queen died !

We buy our tickets, shirts, take time off work to follow our team, like any other supporters of any team you care to mention, and we do it because we are part of it and we want to be part of it and for life. Our money goes on our support for our beloved club. We don't want players in our clubs who are saving themselves for international competitions especially for countries of which we have no interest. Thats why we don't have too much time for international football.

Maybe you just don’t quite get what it’s like being a fan of your local club.

Not selecting Alvarez, then?

0845 722555

It's the number for Specsavers, they have a number of spots available in stores throughout the North West :-)

 

[Keeper!]

we have the players but don't have the manager with ideas who would struggle in the championship

Time will tell, again the first proper team we have faced, if he goes for it, we can win the game.

 

[Keeper!]

England losing a World Cup QF is less of a disappointment than City losing a PL game ?

I can't believe your asking the question, City 100% is more important in every way and it is for 99% of English fans, the domestic teams are always No1.

Tue colours shown when asked about a worker dying.

Can't see much wrong with his comments.

 

[stonerblue]

Ive loved every minute of it

Same here. Watched almost every match and it's been great to see quality players playing, and the fans there really enjoying themselves.

that's never going to happen because he does not know how to play from the middle with a creative player,
It's always bypassing the midfield and play 2nd ball, I truly think he will play 5 at the back again with Foden back on the bench, France will not fear playing us because of Southgate setup

Alan Ball’s World Cup memorabilia sold earlier today.

WC winners medal £200k
WC final shirt £130k
WC cap £115k !
Pele swapped match shirt £33k

Reckon the medal went cheap!

I used to follow my local football team FC Cochin until it went into administration. The club was at its best a 3rd placed team. The best thing was we had a "homegrown" top striker who scored above 30 goals for Indian National team playing for us. A loss was always expected, there was no great disappointment, we just look forward to the next game, the next season and so on. Indian National team was as bad as it is now. I remember Oman beating India 1-5 in our homeground in a World cup qualifier and that was horrible.

So if you had that affinity with your local club, surely you understand that connection is far greater than that of your feelings towards your country’s side?

No. The feeling of "India" is greater. Except for maybe some states like Maharashtra/Tamil Nadu etc., I assume its the same all over the country. I understand the apathy towards international friendlies, the Nations League etc. but towards a World Cup QF/SF, that's hard to comprehend.
