And why isn't anybody calling out Hills Have Eyes McGinn for blating cheating? He knew the other guy was on a yellow and went down like he had been sniped the moment he felt a touch. Imagine the carnage had it been the opposite way around and it was McGinn getting sent off.
McGinn is the cunt's cunt. Horrible little shit, just a nasty human.

Thing is, VAR gotta grow some friggin balls and dare tell the ref "we've watched it again and McGinn is clearly simulating to get the Dane sent off"...then the ref acts like a man and sends that ugly rat-faced git off. But refs and VAR are useless twats who don't do their homework pre-game, act clueless during, but always get away with it afterwards.

Hope McGinn gets a bad injury and misses the WC...even forced to retire.
 
The amount of English people I've seen congratulating the Scots on social media is sickening. Do they not realise just how much they despise us and how much they want to see England fail at any sport?

Don't get me wrong. I think the WC is better for having Scotland in it. It will also be funny to see them struggle so much as they did in the Euros unless they are extremely fortunate with the draw. I have a few Scottish friends I can be happy for. But you would never find your average Scot saying congratulations to England for qualifying.
Why worry? I'm happy to see Scotland there and just as happy when they hope to see us lose.
It's the same with NZ and Australia, the bigger more dominant nations are always historically despised by small neighbours!
 
I think you're right. As much as I despise the idea, it's borderline pointless the 'big' countries having to bother with qualifying (Italy excepted...) - they may as well have 16 teams go straight to the final and have the rest fight it out, as you allude to.
Good for the practice and team building.

Shame the FA, are stuck in the bronze age, only want to mangers that play safe football, with creative prowess of a wet lettuce.

England problems won't improve until we start hiring progress attacking football. That better suits the players.

By admitting you want us to struggle isn’t exactly gaining you the high ground here. You only have negative things to say about Scotland and I’ve absolutely no idea why you would watch a team / country you obviously don’t rate. And that’s language erring on the side of kindness.

And why should rival countries want one another to do well? Rivals tend not to. Find me an Argentinian that wants Brazil to win. A Dutchman that loves Germany. A Croat that cheers for Serbia.

FWIW, I don’t really care about England (or Scotland come to that). If you win or we lose, I’ll be over it in minutes. Just don’t understand your vitriol against us, whilst appearing to not understand why your traditional rivals don’t love you.
 
Surely even Scotland can get through the group stage this time and break their KO duck. You can finish 3rd and qualify, you can qualify without even winning a game.

Half the teams going to this World Cup were not good enough to make Pot 3 in Qatar - 24 teams that were either too shit to qualify or we’re sat in the bottom pot and honking.

Nope. Inglorious failure incoming.
