WWC23 | England v Spain - Spain win WWC - Rubiales sacked, now found guilty and fined

[Sassy Colin]

Why aren't we playing in our main kit? It's completely different to Spain's kit.

 

[Semper Fudge]

Yeah I’ve switched to ITV. BBC’s viewer ratings are going to be terrible if they can’t sort that out.

They've fixed it now.

 

[Murder on Zidanes Floor]

The quality on show is great. I don't get how any male football fans don't like this.

Quality football, pass and move, a world cup final, attractive women - how can they boo boo it?!

 

[saivet]

Well worked out from the press from Spain

 

[Stack]

Lovely football from Spain

 

[Superunknown]

Spain are very good at keeping the ball and then suddenly moving it very quickly. This is going to be a very hard game.

 

[ForeverRed1]

Spain have started better. We need to improve if we’re going to win it.

 

[slyadams]

So far Spanish technicality against England’s power and pace.

 

[Eric_the_Red99]

Spain looking very dangerous. Just got to weather this storm and we’ll get our chance.

 

[Lay]

Off the bar!

If United gave the ball away as much as these 2 teams do, they'd be uproar in the post match thread.

 

[Vidyoyo]

Come on Engerland score a facking goal

 

[RedDevilQuebecois]

CROSSBAR! Spain escaped that one.

edit: It was Hemp.

 

[slyadams]

Shiiiiiiiiiiiiit

 

[Stack]

That would have been a lovely goal for England

 

[Ahmer Baig]

Off the bar for England.

 

[WeePat]

Spain are very composed on the ball.

 

[Superunknown]

Shiiiiit, what an effort! Unlucky.

 

[Murder on Zidanes Floor]

Off the bar! So close.

 

[sebsheep]

So close!
Been a good start to the game

 

[WeePat]

Oh no. So close.

 

[Berbasbullet]

This is a cracking game

 

[Murder on Zidanes Floor]

United usually do mate.

 

[saivet]

Wow, two golden opportunities. No idea how Spain missed

 

[Murder on Zidanes Floor]

Go on Mary! What a save.

 

[Ahmer Baig]

What a save and miss by Spain.

 

[Stack]

Holy shit, that would have been a lovely goal too. Both teams playing some lovely combinations.

 

[RedDevilQuebecois]

How did Redondo manage to shoot that ball straight at Earps? The goal was clearly gaping.

It's somehow still 0-0 after those chances.

 

[Eric_the_Red99]

United usually do mate.

Bruno gives the ball away more than these two teams put together.

 

[Murder on Zidanes Floor]

Bruno gives the ball away more than these two teams put together.

Yeah, it's odd to levy that charge when most teams now press high to turn over the ball.

 

[Ahmer Baig]

Should have tried at near post.

 

[Xaviesta]

It’s been awesome, the crowds have been great, it’s a shame the aussies couldn’t make it to the final. Lots of really good games. It’s a shame it’s over in a few hours. one day maybe we can do a combined men’s WC

2034 or 2038 are feasible as I think Europe will get the 2030 tournament. The NRL and NZR could be stumbling blocks though for a men's FIFA World Cup in these parts. The AFL won't be an impediment as FIFA will insist on rectangular stadiums.

 

[Sassy Colin]

United usually do mate.

I rest my case.

 

[Murder on Zidanes Floor]

Spain #18 looks good

 

[Superunknown]

This is a very good final. Both teams attacking quickly. I like the pace of this game.

 

[Murder on Zidanes Floor]

Why have some the Spain players boycotted the game?

 

[Lightbringer]

These men dont want women to be their equals - they want them to be trophies and beautiful only, cant admit they can play elite football, would give them too much credit on their own.

 

[RedDevilQuebecois]

Bruno gives the ball away more than these two teams put together.

I hope Ten Hag takes Bruno to a room and forces him to watch and analyze this final. That should teach him to stop giving the ball away.

Watch and fecking learn, Bruno.

 

[Lightbringer]

Why have some the Spain players boycotted the game?

Because they did not like the methods of the coach both on and off the pitch.

 

[Stack]

my Guess is it would be an England majority crowd given how many expats we have down in this part of the world
