looking forward to the 3080 tournament on Jupiter , my brain will be chronologically frozen and will watching from a jar on a fluffy cloud.

And Richard Wright will still be our goalie coach

Something to lighten the mood

Wold cup 94 was class for so many reasons. So many characters, great games etc final was shit but most are.

As I've said before. The 90s comps were fantastic and everything since has been shite.

Baggio, Romario, Maradona, Matthaeus, Hagi, Stoichkov, Valderamma, Bergkamp, Quinn…

Shame Gullit and Van Basten didn’t make it due to circumstances and if France and England qualified there would have been Gazza and Cantona.

Plus the razzmatazz of the USA hosting it made it colourful and eventful to say the least.

I work in Saudi at the minute and popped over to Qatar for a week and the atmosphere was great. The bars are packed with people from all over the world and the atmosphere around the grounds was great. Luckily I managed an England game as well as a few others.

I’m tempted to head back towards the end if we get there…

Stop with the insults and threats or face a thread ban.
It's 11.40pm and I'm having to wade through pages and pages, deleting shite messages from grown men arguing about where one of them comes from. No one gives a f**k.

The one thing that stands out for me in the tournament is the number of half chances missed (by almost every team) that Erling Haaland would be 90% certain to have scored.

This World Cup needed Haaland.

No it didn't ; WE need Haaland

He’s had at least two quality assists that I can remember, so hardly anonymous. Time will tell if he’s a “busted flush ” I suspect it may be a slightly premature diagnosis though.

He’s injured, not enough mobility and one of those ‘quality’ assists was via a deflection.

I thought Spain 82,Italia90,France 98,Korea,Japan 02 were good world cups everything since has been nothing to right home about.This one the best games have been the ones where the so called big European sides have struggled with the Asian and African sides.Belgium and Germany got what they deserved.Its a cup competition and as proved by the Dippers the best team does not always win the cup.Enjoy it for what it is.

Not only politics or religion though is it ? , everyone is not welcome in Qatar , i will let you work that one out

Who is not welcome?

It makes me laugh when the nation of "it's coming home" , the same Nation that hosted the Euros and witnessed it's own fans smashing there way into the stadium causing havoc having the audacity to humiliate Qatar.

I wonder how many crimes have been committed in Qatar during this tournament, I would imagine they could be counted on one hand, if not one finger.
