Yeah I’ve fully accepted that I’ll be enveloped in World Cup fever and watch every possible minute of football. I’d really like to have the strength to do a full boycott but every single protest, petition or political movement I’ve been a part of has all been to the grand sum of fuck all and I’ve reached saturation point. “Belligerently apathetic” is probably the best way to describe my opinion on it.
The politics, I mean. I’m stoked as fuck for the football.
Just watched the Ronaldo interview.
(Whole thing is on YouTube if you haven’t seen it.)
Guy is a total prick IMO.
If he wants to leave then leave. Surely this could have been handled professionally and discretely?
Clear it wasn’t working under ETH and lots of rumours in Summer of him wanting to leave .
Problem is no big club wants him and he’s too big for a smaller club + he wants CL football.
So now he’s slagging anyone and everyone off in a Piers Morgan interview to force a move.
No way can he play for Man Utd ever again after this.
Surprise surprise Piers hasn’t asked him why he stormed off and left the ground when he was asked to come on as a sub a few weeks ago.
Part 2 coming tomorrow and all!
Any Man Utd fans on here? Would be interested to hear your viewpoint.
Facts.
Fuck him. Go! The new manager is making progress and doesn’t need to babysit this prima donna. The team doesn’t need his stink in the dressing room too. I hope all the United fans sing ‘Messi is the one true goat’ at the next match! Thank god this break is happening, yes shittiest world cup ever but getting the space and time to sort it will be ideal, while the media has much more to fill their pages with.
I’m watching this interview, he’s never playing for them again.
Hmm, I hadn’t really pictured NB as the sort brand you’d pair up with Stone Island. All the lads are going to want those though!
Can’t wait to rock up to 5-a-side on Wednesday in that!
I’m pretty gutted for the Welsh fans who have literally waited a lifetime to be at a world cup only for it to be held in the most sterile, soulless, joyless place imaginable.
Why not break away from Fifa? Other sports have mutliple organisations. After this they can finally properly get fucked.
Yeah people keep saying “if you need alcohol to have fun you need help” and yeah that’s kind of true but you can’t do anything else fun either!
I mean, having no soul and being bullied for it in Europe is not fun at all but compared to being LGBTQ+ in Qatar must be less so…
Is it possible to draw an underline the fact that having the World Cup here is ridiculous and fucking mental but actually be able to talk about the games now?
Ecuador 2 up at half time against Qatar. They are going to get smacked up for their 3 games.
“We all like a bit of a roll up don’t we” … “no not that kind of roll up”
Love Gary
Everyone prepared for tomorrow?
I’ve just smashed out all three episodes of ‘Together Stronger’ on BBC to get right in the mood!
Hoping for positive results all round!
I didn’t even mean to but I ended up watching those too. Really good.
Now that Welsh rugby is in the toilet I’m going full bore behind the pel droed now. Yma O Hyd is such banger.
Predictions for the winner and top scorer?
France now have Benzema, Kante, Pogba and others all out. Did fancy them but not so sure now.
Argentina (unbeaten since 2019?! and in 35 games) and Brazil still looking hot shit.
Germany a bit young/unproven compared to previous tournaments. Similar with Spain.
I promise not to discuss England being shit after what happened last time
So hard to predict the winners this year. I’d say Argentine are a good bet. As for top scorer it could be anyone really. Might put a bet on somebody random like Havertz.
Lukaku not played properly for ages but they have KDB.
Depay gets to play Qatar, Senegal (without Mane) and Ecuador then possibly Wales or USA and is 25/1 for top scorer.
Really open cup, just a shame it’s being played in a 30 degree, alcohol free, homophobic shithole.
Qatar are dogshit. Hope they get smashed every single game.
Finishing work at 12 and they’re taking us all to a local brewery to watch the game! £20 tab behind the bar too. IT’S COMING HOME!
