England National Team

Talksport exclusive that everyone else seems to know about.

In fact Athletic posted it 40 minutes earlier.

Presumably Talksport get their exclusives by looking for things written in the dirt on the back panel of white vans so they are likely to be a bit behind :delivery_truck: :articulated_lorry:

Ok so the cheerleader can’t hold his pom poms so he’s out. Quansah is out next match. Anything else?

It’ll be one of the excuses used when the inevitable failure occurs

What failure? England are going to reach the final.

FFS. Give it a rest

Please explain.

It was meant for someone else. The constant taunting.

How long is Quansah out for?

He pulled a Xhaka

That will depemd how much Stammer is willing to pay Infantino to overturn the ban

Just create a ā€œStammer Fair Play Prizeā€ and award it to the Infant.

Balogun controversy deepens as UK politicians seek FIFA reprieve for Quansah, English FA weighs appeal

Don’t do it. This is not Nike.

I absolutely think they should. Show FIFA what happens when you open Pandora’s box

I like the idea that you are proposing, but I don’t think that’s fair on Quansah and have him put in the crosshair.

The US are out, the suspended red card made no difference.

Football is now secondary to…

Politics.
Racism
Comedy Presentation

It does make a difference, in my view.
The stupid rescinding backfired spectacularly.

  1. On the pitch, the sense of injustice and the Infant’s naive corrupt ā€œOrange Balls suckingā€ action fired up the Belgium team to give their all and more.
  2. The US team’s lacklustre performance, in contrast to their earlier matches, could be the result of the mainly decent human beings’ natural aversion to such egregious breaking of rules by FIFA. Imagine having to play together with a banned team mate. They just can’t bring themselves to perform well. Ditto for the red carded player himself. It will be against his conscience to play his normal game, hence his largely ineffectual display.

The Orange Idiot truly screwed himself once again. Without his moronic and ignorant interference, the 2 abovementioned situations couldn’t possibly have happened and the USMNT might have stood a chance of making it through to the quarters.
Also, FIFA had done themselves in particular and football in general a huge disservice by breaking and bending the rules at their whim and fancy.

OK, to get back on track, Congrats to the Three Lions for making it to the Quarters,.
