puck2 Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 (edited) Football ........ that's hitting the legs, pulling players shirts, players spying everywhere, needs stupid audience, spending money for people, who are only able to kick a ball. Football ....... nowadays is very lukrative for doctors and advertisinhg. Football ....... makes many "players" richer than scientists, even if those once are lucky to win the Nobel Prize. Football ....... isn't good for the brain; being able to count from 1 maybe to 9 is allready a great challenge. Headers hurt the brains. Football ........ losing money only to watch or enjoy it, how the players kick a ball, breaking the bones or hurting other parts of the enemies body. Football ....... spectators hitting and hurting people, devastating nearly all what is on their way home - after their "darlings" lost a game. Footbal ....... the players in the other teams are the their enemies Football ....... ooooh what a "wonder"-ful sport Edited July 12, 2021 by puck2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post mommysboy Posted July 12, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 12, 2021 It was the right result, but England were very worthy opponents. From an England perspective, although they are a very good team, a little more is needed in midfield before they can win a tournament. Nevertheless, they are 'blue chip' team now with great talent, and their fitness prevented a rout. (England did not cheat Denmark, and in my opinion it would have been Italy 4 Denmark 0. Stop being such a baby.) 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think you understand how Scotland became part of the UK Neeranam--they weren't colonized ---That's the Mel Gibson Version. They thought they could create the Panama canal without the Canal -- it seemed a great idea, so everyone put all their money in-*1. One of the small details was--they forgot to ask the people who owned the land (Spain) is this OK. The whole country was then bankrupted-- Bank of England--took over Bank Scotland and the country accepted the Act of Union (completed in 1707). Better reading the history--not watching the Mel Gibson movies. ...although I enjoyed it---:) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darien_scheme *1-As the Company of Scotland was backed by approximately 20% of all the money circulating in Scotland, its failure left the entire Lowlands in substantial financial ruin.

2long Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 These threads always end up going off topic, and in this case it's by some 'chip-on-me-shoulder' types who just want to be anti England. It's just a game and one team had to win. Them's the rules! England did well to get this far and although Rashford's penalty was the turning point, I don't hate him (or Scottish people) for no genuine reason. Yes, England were lucky to get to the final, but they didn't give the Sterling penalty, the ref did. Not sure why it hasn't been pointed out the audacious shirt pull on that young Sako. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Rashford had netted (the reason he was brought on as a last-minute sub in ET), then there would have been NO pressure on Saka who has never, ever taken a penalty in his short club or international career. Gareth is taking the blame though and rightly so. He chose the spot kickers after all. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
