World Cup 2026

[No Ta Doctor]

I think there were probably enough Scots posting to keep it right up at the top.

Certainly more than there were after any of Scotland's wins

But they're winning. Surely you're interested in that?

Winning what?

They are not winning in football. Selling goods and extracting huge profits is not mentioned in the Laws of the Game

Totally corrupt but it’s just Roman style bread & circus for us & big money for them.
People invest all that emotion into it. Those people don’t care about the TDF which is like my world cup every year. Those that invest emotion into pro cycling is usually all good vibes no matter the outcome.

They don't probably because they have no involvement with pro cycling

they are the governing body of football

which is like my world cup every year. Those that invest emotion into pro cycling is usually all good vibes no matter the outcome.

I considered your comparison between cycling and football.

It doesn't make any sense.

 

[AndyRM]

Anyway, Allez Les Bleus!

Not that anyone will care about this meaningless game for losers.

Football becomes ugly and negative. Often violence occurs. Cycling is far more civilised.

I prefer rugby where all the violence happens on the pitch.
Even then they are told not to be so silly by the little guy in the middle.

Curling for me - Answering back to the Umpire is considered... Umm...

I've seen it happen at the Scottish Nationals one year when I was doing the timing and it went down like a cup of cold sick and a bacon sarnie at a Bar Mizva! 😆

@Milzy
... Actually, it sounds a bit like Mordor... Sorry, the main site.

I have to add that talking to the Umpire is ok, but there is absolutely no disrespect allowed.

A couple of Six Nations ago, Andrew Cotter provided a brilliant piece of commentary following a Scotland trip on English player,

"That's not what we want to see on the pitch"

Meanwhile, we were clattering another guy over the hoardings.

Beautiful stuff.

I forget the players involved, but f*ck yeah rugby!

 

[Ian H]

...f*ck yeah rugby!

Is that a third kind, after league and union?

Never has an international meant so much. How dare you?!

Yes, France are already on the beach but fair play to England for turning up and wanting to win. Hopefully Tuchel will be making a mental note of what happens when he just lets us play.
