2026 here we come.

Epic game, from the very start to the finish. I could hear people near the BBC commentary team shouting ''Shoot'' for the 4th, and he listened.

I heard that to.

Me too! I actually thought it was one of the commentators. Faddy?

Def one of the commentators but not sure who.

Faddy does have past for long range shots. 😉

I presume the BBC Bias police will be calling for resignations.

My favourite part of the commentary was the open acknowledgement of the bias.
It's the ones who fail to portray some kind of neutrality that bug me. Be biased, be neutral, but don't be fake.

I’d like to know what the BBC expects of their commentary.
Often during the Olympics they are mega biased.

Much like rioting on the streets of Amsterdam, pish like this is what gets fans banned from away games:

Absolutely zero justification for it and I hope UEFA hammer them for it. But it'll probably be a fine and a suspended travel ban.

This is brilliant! Argentina, Mexico and Brazil have to be heard.

Staggering article about FIFA and Trump. There are 3 countries hosting the World Cup. But you would ever guess it.

Apparently Fifa have moved an office into Trump Tower in New York City.

But best of all, on Friday, Fifa will award its inaugural Peace Prize, an idea reportedly so close to the Fifa president’s heart that nobody else within the organisation knew about it. And Trump is favourite to win it.

With Infantino in charge nothing surprises me.

Amazingly he was elected in 2016 as president of FIFA to improve the reputation of the organisation after the corruption scandals under Sepp Blatter. That's going well.

More interesting reading about the FIFA peace prize.
Absolute joke award. Why would a non political football body start issuing peace prizes?

It's mad. Makes me yearn for the simpler corruption of Blatter.
