[Football] World Cup - Day Three
- Thread starter Mortdecai
- Start date
Day 3, good to see the big guns finally starting to enter the tournament.
I'm never usually gushing about England but given what happened yesterday, it's probably right to consider England one of the big guns in fairness.
This video, from The Olympics of all people (they did a series focusing on players who were going on to play in this World Cup having previously played in The Olympics) features them...Just seen on Instagram a photo of the Mac Allisters on the way to the game. His dad & uncle (?) are the most un-Argentinian men you’ve ever seen

Under the flag
Day 4 when Germany enter will reverse the trend

Just seen actor Robert Bathurst on Good Morning Britain.
At the end of the show, Richard Madeley asked him why he was supporting Ecuador in the World Cup.
He said there were 3 great reasons, but he was worried that if they played too well, they'd be sold to Chelsea!
Well worth watching on ITV+1 in an hour's time.
If someone can grab a video of it and post it up, that'd be great.

Love to see the Socceroos pull of an upset, though highly unlikely
No Mac Allister for Argentina.
That's it - I'm off to do something else! Booooo......

What!! Surely they'd drop a certain Messi before dropping Mac.
And football at 10 am is really pushing the limits of my marriage.

He'd score a hat trick and be off to Chelsea in 6 weeks, look on the bright side
Indeed. Never going to happen I'm afraid. When you look at the clubs their squad plays for, there are only a handful playing at clubs only football fans will have actually heard of. Aaron Mooy is at Celtic - probably the player at the biggest club in their squad, and yet he doesn't even start.

I’ve got Argentina as favourites in this next game.
Obviously they should win, but Saudi Arabia were the strongest Asian team to qualify and this will feel like a home game you'd think. Could be interesting...

You did realise we were playing Iran, and they managed to score 2 goals against us....
Brazil, Argentina, France, Germany, Spain, will be hardly shaking in their boots...
Argentina will post a cricket score this morning.

Mexico are always my other team, along with Germany obviously.
Be interesting how many locals turn out for Mexico v Poland......

Yes, so he's not in the team. Not going to watch the whole one-sided thing in case he comes on later for a few minutes.
One goal was a dubious pen when it didn't matter. You're wrong if you think people won't take notice of that result. Iran are no mugs, but we made them look incredibly ordinary.

And no, I don't think Argentina will find it anything like as easy as you say. We'll see.
Hugh Bonneville on itv Good Morning Britain saying he's supporting Ecuador as Brighton have three players in the team his only worry Chelsea will try to buy them if they do well.
