Martinez won’t stay at Villa for long after this. He needs to play for a top club

Oh yeah. Morgan is probably poisoned from having his tongue permanently wedged up Ronaldos ass

[Fulham Broadway 16,845]

Right, as you were.

On to bigger games...Bournemouth

Why Argentine have no black players in their team ?
Argentine never had a black minority but neither did Germany-Italy and most of the other countries,

Italians were the major immigrants in Argentina

plus Nazis via the rat lines (Brasil too)

who knows maybe their small black population have better things to do than kick a football? I get your point though, but it's hard to say. It's the other way for Brazil (blacks are overrepresented in the NT), and I don't think that's a good thing; they are underrepresented in congress for ex.

All in all, I think Argentina deserved the win and outplayed France for most of the game.
Had Pogba, Kante, and Bezema been available and fit, things could've been different. Kante would have helped in that first half, for ex.

I thought Giroud's age showed big time in the final. It was a game for different energy levels. And Dembele for me, what a stupid player. 🙂 Was a reminder why I don't like him as a player.

Younger players always struggle in decisive penalty kicks -- it's not very complicated. 🙄

There were no rat lines for Brazil. The Brazilians were allies - fought in Italy, Monte Cassino.
But after the war Brazil too was an easy country where nazis could hide.
The Italians although never possessed colonies have many black players. Bolatelli was one.

Up to the 80th minute it looked like Chelsea v. Shrewsbury for the first round of the FA cup,
When Giroud was replaced, it was no longer a game for him, France needed men to carry the ball and penetrate. But if Giroud was present after the 2-2 he would have won the world cup.
The referee denied a pen for France for ... faking. Who is going to fake infront of goal ? They fake near the edge of the box, alright. But it was a position similar to Kolomuani's chance - you don't fake there !!!

That's true, but a LOT of migration took place before (even the first) world war. Germany was in shambles and people desperate enough that they would believe lies coming from places like Brazil's gov. My granny, for ex, was already born in Brazil soil before WWI.

Very vriefly. They were defeated. In Libya too they were defeated.
Colonies were possessed, if you observe, by the countries with Atlantic coast. The others had no chance.

Feels weird in a way. Since it was announced where it was and that be in November/December its been a talking point for years.. now it's over just like that! Time flies...it was enjoyable now back to shitty us lol wooo

[cosmicway 1,323]

It's not fair to decide the world cup on pens.
They should be declared co-champions.
After all there is no promotion to some other competition for the champion team.
