Apart from winning the European Nations Cup( the forerunner of the Euros) in 1964 Spain was the poor relation of European football.In the 60s,70s and the 80s Italy,West Germany and the Dutch were the top Euro nations.France was an also ran during this time. Real Madrid was the dominant club...

Spain totally controlled the game and it would have been a travesty if it had gone to a penalty shoot out and Argentina had won.If Spain had Mbappe they would have blown Argentina off the park by half time.That is their only weakness that they don't have a excellent central striker though...

Just listen to your Mum like a good boy now-mums know everything

MOTM for me.

I hope you are talking about menisci not the possibilities that razorblade and HonestSpursFan raised.

The stumbling blocks of the K2 league!

I thought he might be useful this WC but again disappointing as when he has the ball time seems to slow down and nothing happens.Velupillay likewise was a surprise call up -Younis,Silvera and Boyle could have done more.

You did for sure but we need to be able to do this at least five or six times a match if not more.We have a top defence but our attacking players and tactics are still way behind.Bos and Volpato have the skills and drive as does Nestory when played out wide but when you look at the top teams...

Egypt to their credit went upfield in an attempt to score after Messi scored the equalising goal but got caught out and lost .A bitter blow and then they got stroppy and lost their rag.Such an interesting game and how well did Egypt play.Maybe Popa knew they would be too good for us if we had...

Having qualified for 6 WC finals and 3 times getting out of our group I hoped in that game against Egypt we would have been more proactive for more of the game.At various though brief periods we did take it to them and looked good .However in the last part of extra time we went back into our...

Players in the mix for next WC cycle Keepers: Beach,Devenish-Meares,Gauci,Maynard-Brewer,Peraic-Cullen,Hall,Plusnin RB/Wingback: Bos,Italiano,Miller,Overy,Bennie,Metcalfe,Adamson,Nasso LB/Wingback: Bos,Overy,Majekodunmi,Mauragis,Wilmering,Farrell CBs...

Portugal v Spain was possibly the most boring game of this WC.

For the Belgium v USA game the world wide viewing audience would almost to a person been barracking for the Red Devils.

Go Belgium keep piling the goals on.

Truly a classic game.Mexico just don't perform as well when the chips are down.However they did contribute to a tense and hard fought match with a spirited and game English team .Bellingham's two goals were so important and great to see a diving header.Pickford was great and commanded his area...

A blight on the sport.Non football people are turned off by these antics.

Paraguay used the dark arts trying to unsettle the French and Mbappe in particular and they did frustrate them .

Kudos to Aziz Behich who ran himself into the ground.Also Aiden O'Neill who played out of his skin .Beach's save from the header was first class.Circati,Souttar and Herrington built a wall which the Pharoahs could not break down.Bos was so good until his injury from. that no holds barred...

I have had a few hours to settle down and watching Cabo Verde take it to mighty Argentina renewed my faith in football .Lots of recriminations and vitriol on the forum and understandable.Sorry for Souttar and Herrington who had both played their hearts out and had put up their hands to take the...

What an effort by Cabo Verde .Brave and had some excellent transitional play.I guess Infantino will say their progress justifies a 48 team WC and he has a point.
