Pre-takeover, we had Thumbheed doing everything, or nothing much at all which is more likely. We now have top class appointments all over the shop, this is another of them. I choose to think about what he can bring to us in the future, not what he may or may not have done at previous clubs. We're a well run club with a cracking infrastructure these days. Looking forward to this summer window more and more.

That save at the end was like Gordon Banks in 1970, incredible stuff. Game of the tournament easily.

Nice goal, Romania out of their depth

I don't know how many times i've watched a player in a great shooting position either take too long, or try to cut back across the defenders and the chance is lost. In this tournament alone its in the dozens. Just fucking shoot man.

Even that's too expensive on the evidence of this tournament

Doesn't Sesko have like a 70m release clause?

I hate Landon Donovan, vacant cunt

Hope someone puts Jota in the stand, such a little creep

Worth the prior hour and a half just to see that fucking egotistical man child crying

GTFI what a save fuck off

Doesn't seem to happen around any other club to the extent we get it. I don't see clubs "circling around" for Saka or Odegaard, or "prepared to swoop" for Watkins or Bailey or any of the cartel 6s' best players. Our players get consistently sold in the media and it's gone back decades, not a recent thing.

This is one lingering rumor I really wish would fuck off.

At least there's the prospect of jammy buggers France booting cunt Ronny and his merry band of cheats and twats out in the next round

Right answer. Love Nico W. as well but no longer remotely realistic, Raphinha would be brilliant and transformational

These teams ranked 1 and 2 coming into the tournament, have a day off man

Music after a goal

Kante is by far France's most consistently excellent performer

It was but I honestly don't even have him in my top 10 all time. Just my opinion. He's explosive, has scored a lot in France, just don't think he compares to the greats. Plus he's a diving whiner. I will say that defending in general is a heck of a lot better than it was in the 70s and 80s so that factors in a bit. Just for me, a player who when his speed wanes, so will he.

Good point, is there a standout player at the tournament? Can't think of many, particularly the "big name" players, a couple on Germany. Nico Williams has been brilliant for Spain, favorite player at this thing.

Think it's more the online weirdos think they've gotten one over us and are on their way "back". He's already jumped ship twice, what makes them think he wouldn't do the same to them. Odd thing to celebrate really. Hope he stepped on a garden rake and smashed his own nose in while finishing up his gardening leave. Beyond that, couldn't care less.

Yep, he did that literally 30 seconds after I posted, never fails. Just find the constant slaver over him weird and annoying and, outside of WC 18, way over the top generally.

Maybe I was in the bog and missed it but yet to see Mbappe do anything noteworthy in this tournament

What a ball in that was

Absolute trash refereeing here, fussy as fuck

Always enjoyed the name Barkevious Mingo, think he played for the Jets
