AFC Wimbledon have now gone 20 games without a win...and our board have just put out a statement saying they still back our manager, seems we have actually accepted we cant keep sacking managers hoping for a new manager bump just to survive and then have to do it again next year....may have accepted we're actually better long term to get relegated and come back stronger

I watched a documentary about afc Wimbledon a couple years ago. The guy who bought the old version of the club and moved them was a creepy dude.

Usa Mexico has only one stoppage for shoving in the first forty minutes, games gone soft.

SIUUUUUUUUUUUU

I don't get it. How did he make a chant from the Spanish word Si into that? Bloody Prima Donna!

Wow no Italy again at the World Cup.

Nice to see Macedonians losing their minds. I hope they can make it through as they are a country capable of mature compromise (e.g. changed the name of their country in agreement with Greece to open door to EU membership). If Scotland don't make it through this could be the first football world cup I barely watch (not big on it being in the desert).

Class and charisma bby.

Great result for North Macedonia but I will 1000% be up for Portugal. Keane and Ronaldo are the only two players I've ever called my favourites in the sport.

Haven't followed Italy in the WC Qs. But that is a shocker for the European champs, who were the best side at the Euros last year.

What turning a word into a non sensical one is a mark of class and charisma? I get he has millions of fans and followers on Twitter, who in turn amplify their hero but for me it's moronic.

Oh. Don't like International week.

It's really not that deep

Football tribalism is so bizarre

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Yeah it's just good fun, CR7 has a sense of humour to be fair to him, not a great one but something is there!

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Surely the Plural in Spanish is Si, Si, Si Si. Multiple times. In Cantonese saying Siu means Roasted.

Yeh, I like football chants/ songs with humour. Like when Leeds fans started chanting "calm down" Harry Enfield style when Liverpool fans started getting irate at a ref's decision. That made me laugh.

Golden Fraud Pulisic kicked a tap in straight to the keeper and we missed another easy opportunity. We should be walking away with three points but things are looking good for Qatar.

Don't forget as long as USA believe they will win.

Shite enough that it's in Qatar during winter but delighted Cristiano Ronaldo will get one more world cup. What a legend.

France beat the SA by a try

World cup draw at 4:45pm today. England in pot 1 and Wales/Scotland/Ukraine as a TBC in pot 4.

Crazy how World Rugby insist on making the draw so early when seedings will invariably become out of date while FIFA can do it six months out with teams still able to sort out travel & hotel arrangements.

Man United expect Ronaldo to quit on free transfer - Sources

Football Insider can reveal that those at the top of Man United expect Cristiano Ronaldo to quit this summer as Porto line up sensational move

Siouuuuut of Maure after 1 season. Wonder if he goes to PSG to replace Mbappe?

 

[Reiser99]

Haven't United lost money through poor transfers quite recently? Sure they lost money with at least one other big name transfer.

Which pot are Italy in...oh wait.

Also just realised that this is Qatars first world cup, well if you can't qualify normally, just buy your way in.
