[Football] World Cup - Day Seven

An Albion player in the Argentina first team - who’d have thunk it?

An Albion player getting POTM in the Argentina first team, according to the BBC poll at least. Who'da thunk that?

In terms of quality, this World Cup has been so poor. Really disappointing that most teams don't seem able to string three passes together.

What do you mean - we strung loads of passes together yesterday.


Along the back four, then back along the back four...

Just watching a recording of Argentina v Mexico. The singing from the legions of supporters for both teams was immense. Argentina brought the intensity of a Boca crowd. Loved it.

Matterface and Dixon were awful, spending 90+ minutes telling viewers how awful Argentina were. Yawn.

Spent a fair amount of time in Argentina - great place but the romantic view of the country (and south America in general - especially Brazi!) is so different from the reality - couldn't live there now for long. Going to football there is something else though - the passion is insane even compared to the rest of South America. Got to keep your wits about you though - away fans are banned for example. Don't see that side of their passion during WCs though... only us and a few other nations seem to turn up with our undesirables in tow (bar this WC for obvious reasons)

I was wondering if we could blame the ball but this year’s sounds legit https://www.scientificamerican.com/...-al-rihla-has-the-aerodynamics-of-a-champion/

I think a lot of Albion fans have been on the bbc website judging by the scores out players have been getting! Well deserved in many cases.

it’s no worse than the previous World Cup, where apart from France everyone else was crap.
