Back on top topic unless you want to incur the mods' wrath.

A little bit of leniency should be allowed here...

Hey don't shoot the messenger.

Hey don't shoot the messenger.

Did I? Was just saying...

I think i'm going to record Argentina vs Brazil and watch it tomorrow, it clashes with Germany vs Portugal.

[Zinedine Iniesco 172]

Or you can download it in hd in rojadirecta.

Its probably miles better if you record it though.

For future reference though, if anyone wants to download full matches, search rojadirecta on google.

Thats where every youtube videomaker gets the footage from.

Messi 2 goals against Brazil already.

Where is Robdog to talk trash about Messi doing nothing in nationals?

[capriccioso 2,545]

Have some of that! Best Japan line-up ever and we held them to a draw!

The referee was a right wanker though. Still, it was hilarious to see him blow for full time just before Keisuke Honda took a free kick

Platini has gone mad!

Sam Wallace ‏@SamWallaceIndy

Platini: 'European Championships will be held all over Europe in 2020 ... It's just an idea'

Sam Wallace ‏@SamWallaceIndy

Platini: 'Euro 2020 could be held in 12-13 countries. We will decide in December/January' WOW ...

That would be just pure madness!!

That would be just pure madness!!

He can't expect a team to travel every other day and play a match in a different country.

[Jase 43,479]

He can't expect a team to travel every other day and play a match in a different country.

And not to mention, the fans would then have to travel all over the place to watch their team play. The costs would be humongous!

[Jase 43,479]

Oh dear...

Sam Wallace ‏@SamWallaceIndy

Platini on cost to fans for a Euro 2020 staged in 13 countries. 'There are low-cost airlines these days.' Sums him up ...

[Laylabelle 9,395]

'Cheap airlines' Lol!!!!!!! They will bump their prices right up! Crazy man!

And isnt the host country in stright away?That'll have to change seeing as there is no host..

[Manuf 1,448]

This idea seems great when you don't have to worry about money, like few too-much-money-grabbing cunts.

[Laylabelle 9,395]

And the thing is as well you know they will do it so its as inconvient as possible.No games will be in countries near each other but no doubt as far away as possible..

[Jase 43,479]

Saw this on Twitter earlier.

Let's have Euro 2020 just on islands. Cyprus, Crete, Sheppey, Zealand, the Faroes. It'd be ace. BOATS.

Laurent Blanc has reportedly left his post as France coach. Michel Platini has already tipped former captain Didier Deschamps to replace him.
