It's because I am on a computer and a very fast typer. I am infinitely worse on a phone and hate typing on those. Also, words seem to come to me very quickly - it's the same when I write essays - words tend to just flow, I don't know why. And thanks on the predictor game. Some guys had 1-1 too...

I agree with your general premise - play the players in their right positions, rather than the best players on paper. That's been England's undoing for many years, shoehorning players in cos they are the best players. Foden and Bellingham are obviously better than Gordon by a mile, but the...

Both teams were pretty poor all night to be honest, but yeah Hungary just about deserved if one team was to win. They created more. I also had 2-1 Hungary on Superbru, so that goes from 0 points for a wrong to 1.5 for a close.

It's like a soap opera - they're all sniping at each other lol.

Same happens in club football sometimes too tbh. Mbappe's main moment of quality in the final was the beautiful volley, other than that he wasn't great. Messi also gave the ball away for that goal but nobody ever mentions that. I slag off Ronaldo enough so gotta be fair when others make mistakes.

You understand me and I am Scottish, Don't worry, I won't start typing in local colloquialisms.

Glad to hear Varga is conscious, that is brilliant news. Szobo was in tears apparently at one point so that got me very worried. As for the third place thing - it could happen if those four teams win. It would be typical Scotland for that to happen. Denied a clear penalty too. Oh well, I don't...

Did Ronaldo REALLY get 8.2 for that game yesterday? Fucking hell man the standards are sooo low for that guy :ROFLMAO:

The state of Scotland. Main thing is Varga is okay, that was a sickening fucking collision. But losing with the last kick of the ball, typical Scotland. What's the bets that Spain, Italy, Portugal and Turkey all win and two points would have been enough?

True, but that is a bit simplistic as to what I am implying. I mean Silva was a brilliant and highly influential player in English football, and I believe won more league titles than Lampard despite playing for a shorter duration. It isn't like Silva is all style no substance. I'd agree if I was...

True. They'd play the runner-up of Group C - probably England, Denmark or Slovenia. Then it could be Spain in the quarters.

Yep. Arthur Freidenreich was a precursor, and the first black superstar, but he never reached close to the heights Pele did and is unfortunately mostly lost in the annals of history.

That's a fair point. However, you can also say that maybe they have taken their eye off the ball having qualified, and consequently underestimated Switzerland even though a defeat here puts Germany into second place. I think it works both ways. The truth is nobody is Nostradamus and we won't...

They're a solid team in every tournament they go to practically. They tend to be capped at the round of 16 or quarter-finals, but they mostly get through the group.

Scotland could play all night and not score here. So so poor creatively in the final third. The plan appears to throw in crosses or high balls and look for knockdowns. We don't deserve to qualify with this overly agricultural style of football.

Sorry, maybe some confusion. I didn't mean you - I am referring to a guy who said that elsewhere ages ago. I only quoted you as yours was the first post I read mentioning the differences between eras. My apologies. As for the bold, not sure who said that but it's not true at all, lol. He was a...

Fair points, but I still disagree.

See even stuff like this... 'The gesture to give the goal to a teammate' - even the way you phrase that and the excessive praise the pass has received, as if Fernandes should be on his knees worshipping Ronaldo for having the decency and grace to pass to him...it was 100 per cent the right...

It's all fun and games - I am sure that Fati, Temptation and others are decent people. Fati seems a nice lad and talked to me about TV shows. This is just banter for the most part, even if I do believe what I say about the guy.

The best you can say about him is he hasn't been a disaster. But as always with him, the rudimentary is claimed to be the extraordinary. Yesterday he had a few nice link ups, but messed a few up too, he had one nice dribble beating a defender at the by-line, and played a very basic pass to...
