Yes but they invented it.
Two world cup wins both by cheating.
Oh theres another sitter missed shock horror.
I would quote an appropriate comment from Patches O'Houlihan from Dodgeball but some people might seem it inappropriate.

David Healy looks like Pele compared to this lot.

Well that was dumb

Is he Karius in disguise?
Special from Modric though.
Class act

Screamer

Well as I said after their first game Argentina mostly have poor to average players. They have at most 4 players who are better than that. They deserved to lose. Modric with the best moment of the game. Pure class.

Still think France have a great chance. If they can keep improving game to game they have the individual talent to rival anyone.

England have lots of diving histrionical bolloxes. Ashley Young and Dele Ali.

All teams have them. It's part of the game. The worst part but a large part.

Argentina are absolute dung. Sampaoli is clueless.

Very impressed with Croatia though.

Sad but true.

That's a fair shout. I don't think any side is standing out as a favourite. France have plenty of goals in them and a decent defense.

Englands typical World Cup performances are not dissimilar to Ireland in the RWC.

Think there's a balance between peaking too early and doing enough to get through the groups.
Brazil used to bash teams up bit like New Zealand in rugby terms but peak too early and lose the big one.
They both have learned from that.
Still think Spain will be a tough nut and the fact they will have underperformed in the groups is of little relelevance once the knock out starts.
Same goes with France Brazil and Germany who when the dust settles will all be there or thereabouts.
