Unlucky lad - so close

Haha get in. Argentina playing somnambulist football and get a wake up

Gan on Garang

More magical goalkeeping

Martinez is a fucking terrible keeper mind. Australia have nearly caught him a few times with a press.

Yeah, they’ll just stroll the ball around and try and pick out the odd opening now.

Aye, you might well be right there I’ll echo what others have said though - any new ground would need to be a city centre (or as close to it as possible) stadium.

He’s probably the greatest ever for me - my mind flicks between him and Maradona whenever that comes up.

Looks like it’s just two of us. Thought that was just poor goalkeeping.

Yep, like I said it’s going to play out like a warm up. Argentina will view this as a chance to play at minimal effort, and Australia will be busy at the back but won’t maintain a high press. The SBS commentary over here in Australia makes it even worse. Craig Foster is a terrible mixture of platitudes and pretentiousness.

It would be perfectly feasible to build a new stadium for £300-400m - especially at a site like that of the current arena You don’t need to match the Spurs ground spec, and you’re not building in a confined working environment in London

Who said a new ground costs $1bn? Wembley and Spurs new ground are not the benchmark Time for me to give up the day job as a civils estimator then

No danger of that here

This is going to play out like a warm up game I’m afraid, which will suit this ancient Argentina side.

Expanding the current stadium is liable to cost the same as a brand new one. It’s one or the other.

Yep. 5th on averages; 4th in total tickets sold. And bear in mind that the four clubs who have higher averages - Man Utd, Liverpool, Arsenal, Spurs - haven’t had long stretches in the doldrums like us.

A successful NUFC comfortably sells 80k+ tickets. NUFC’s support base is much bigger than WHU’s. While the 100k+ on the waiting list for STs in the mid-90s would never have actually been realised, it’s a cert we could almost double attendances if we’re any good and the pricing is correct.

Yes, I saw that bellend Simon Jordan criticising C Ronaldo for potentially going to KSA when he could still play at a high level. As if anyone would turn down a nine figure sum - legacy or not.

In fairness, I’m definitely not advocating biting players penises. Certainly not without consent.

Straight red but plenty of kudos

No team finishes on maximum points then?

Should go full peniscopter - the result is the same

Seriously, where are they getting this added on time? Three extra mins on top of the seven mins extra time?

It’s been a bookable offence for at least quarter of a century, taking your shirt off when celebrating. It’s not like it’s a bizarre new rule. Do it when you’re on a booking and you’re a fucking idiot

Aaaal kicking off Swiss v Serbs They’ve always been right worky tickets, the Serbs. They’re a hard team to like
