Come on mate, it wasn't a good game lol. Unlike other times you have said this I actually watched the full game and it was a 2/10 performance.

For a so-called all-time great player, he does ridiculously talentless stupid things like that ALL THE TIME.

The guy is finished and has been since 2018. I don't even hate him anymore, kinda just feel sorry for how ridiculous a character he is and his absolute desperation in playing up to the cameras while delivering disaster classes. He was hopeless tonight. Finished, and should retire asap. But he's...

I still can't get how a one-dimensional player like Rafael Leao is so highly rated. He will probably do something now but all he can do is run.

Yeah mate it's the ball's fault :) :lol: ;)

Only a matter of time until Portugal score. We are sitting way too deep and they're trying to get down the sides, trying to go through the middle, trying to cross. They've created some chances and it's gonna be 1-0 very soon.

Craig Gordon still in goal for Scotland when he's the same age as me. Christ we are bad.

I get your point but that's really just showboating going nowhere lol. He has better examples of great skill. But I do get what you are saying.

Yeah you're right on some of that mate. Footballers in general now are more coached and athletic. I was saying this today - even Brasil is more European in style and more regimented. Maybe it's with increasing capitalism in the world and increasing money in the game even the areas with fewer...

Yeah maybe I am exaggerating. It's true you don't see kids on the streets anymore - but there's more coaching programmes, more 'regimented' and 'organised' football play on 4G pitches and stuff like that. That raw visceral stuff though of playing in the street against the wall or fence under...

I am not a boxing fan and have nothing against anyone who is. I just think it feeds into man's basest instincts - seeing people hurt each other and watching a gladiatorial contest. It's part of the human expression - it's been going for all of history. Humans are violent.

Nah I am not bothered about Scotland anyway as I have said many times. I think it will be 3-1, maybe even 4-1. Ronaldo will probably play at least 80 minutes. I think they'll run riot, we are pish.

Yeah. Ironically though football is thriving more than ever financially so who knows. People clearly still love the game and I see kids everywhere wearing football tops, playing, going to stadiums.

Yeah I find that too, that it becomes more of a crutch and a cope when depression hits. You feel awful but it's still fun to watch Messi or Ronaldo or laugh at Man United losing. I wouldn't say we aren't intelligent - more that we are our own worst enemies and absolute slaves to our basest most...

And I'd also suggest the reasons Gen Z and Alpha kids aren't into football like we were (though I am not sure that is necessarily true) is the rise of the internet and social media, and so much more competing for their attention. When we were kids there was little else to do than play and watch...

I would suggest that if you (not you personally, a general you) are relying that much on a footballer or a game to make you happy (and I did too in the past) there are problems in your own life, rather than that footballer being so special. It seems endemic in society too. It feeds into worship...

Will probably watch Scotland vs Portugal. Ronaldo will definitely score the winner just to spite me.

He's the greatest player of all time for me (alongside Maradona) but the sheer celebrity worship the likes of he and Ronaldo receive for being able to kick a ball about well is repulsive to be honest. We all love football but it means very little in the grand scheme of things. You can live...

Is he still simping for a human rights abusing state? Like Messi.

I was gonna go to the cinema today but can't really be bothered. I might change my mind. Instead, I might watch the game tonight, well late afternoon. I fully expect Ronaldo to score the winner and if he doesn't I will be surprised. Also, very disappointed to see the celebrity worshipping of...
