      Many moons ago I remember a school teacher saying something similar to a parent. It's a shame there was no copywrite rules in place.

        The whole ethos of football is different to other sports. It's a pantomime a lot of the time and I'm sure they're coached in amateur dramatics! All the sparring with the ref, the slips, trips and falls and downright lunacy of some so-called fouls is as hilarious as it is aggravating. These are, in the main, hugely wealthy (immorally so I think) 'sportsmen' that act as if their legs are being gnawed off at the slightest opportunity. You don't get it in rugby where there is great discipline (mostly!) and respect for the game and ref.
        I'm hoping that VAR is modified drastically to enable the watchers to stop the game and start imposing harsh financial as well as game penalties. I'd like to dream that financial penalties would be significant to the player and pay outs go to a charity. What they have is a start but a very moderate one which I think has been resisted for a very long time by shady backdeals.

          Maybe influenced by Gruntfuttock the amazing footballer - around the 40 second mark for best amateur dramatics:

              The plus side if we don't progress far in the tournament, we can still enjoy the matches, "as it will be just like watching the Premier League, these days."

                      That 2nd goal deserves the German goalie right, he should've stayed in his own half :)

                            Argentina are a good side and have every chance of winning it,

                            To be honest Kaz no ones really standing out as far as ive seen, not missed a match yet lol England have looked about the best side (incoming) :runforhills::sofa::biggrin:

                            I said to the wife before it started we will see a few surprises lets wait and see,

                              Well I'm probably putting a jinx on it now but I'd love to see a Belgium/England final.

                                This looks wide open now. The best chance Englands had to win it since you know when.
                                All teams look average,except for Belgium.
