The Bonk

I think it leans a lil too Connolly, but I love it.

Mehrdad's a canny bloke.

Geordiewashing innit. This is surreal.

that's the real tragedy with Dancegate, lack of new Samba. I think it's Brazil's tournament to lose and I hope this is the kiss of death for someone else to win it *cough* Messi *cough*.

The walking definition.

@Flip I’ve always felt they developed that persona as a way to take the pressure off of the players and more on themselves as manager. Let the circus focus on them so the players can be mentally sound entering the pitch.

Van Gaal reminds me of my 71 year old mum who‘s also out of fucks to give. He’s a legend and has done well with that Dutch team given his health complications.

He’s the king of “right place, right time” in any defence of his wealth and status.

+£80m based off his play this year, including the World Cup. Meteoric rise to say the least.

Ramos a £100mill player now? Benfica and he are going to get PAID.

Come on, did that actually happen? Imagine VAR existing back then? He'd have been shot into the sun post red card.

Please don't take away one of our two goals scored.

If I could play like them, earn what they earn, I’d be dancing and crotch thrusting from one end of the pitch to the other. Love when the boomers of punditry get upset at something so meaningless. Screams cringe more than celebrating a beat down.

I was watching on a plane from Vancouver to Toronto and threw my arms up in the air knocking the lasses arm across the aisle from me. I so wanted that to go in for the lad. He did brilliant, only thwarted by a very good save.

I'm dying! Cavani has ended me! THEN SUAREZ FOLLOWING BEHIND IN TEARS..........WHEWWWW! This has been the best day at the WC by far.

What the fuck happened to the emoji we had for you, @oldtype? From that gameshow you were on. Possibly the greatest moment I've experienced on this forum/internet.

Really proud of their effort and will to never give up. If Davies scores the penalty against Belgium, nick a result there, feel like that could have given this team the belief. Unfortunately, we didn't get the same type of bounces we did in qualifying. Still, great to be at the tournament and we have something to build on for 2026. I think some strong showings in CONCACAF Tournaments up to 2026 will give us enough to get out of our group round.

He is, but we can't be missing out on these type of players who will play bit part roles in other national teams. He'd be our first choice CB if we got to him before England.

Cut us open pretty good.

We were so close to getting level. We've been good this half, shame our keeper let us down. Popey would have saved at least one of the Morocco goals.

Think we've settled down as the game has worn on. We need quality all over the pitch.

I honestly thought we'd be better than this, but I had a suspicion we'd be shite. I hope there's some changeover for 2026 and Herd's is able to recruit quality players who'd be eligible like Fikayo Tomori.
