Hmmm... Usually whenever somebody does this, they don't win. I remember a Manchester City fan getting a tattoo declaring them 2011 Champions League winners a few days after their 2008 takeover and they weren't even close. 

🤣

What, a fight in a pub in Lancaster 28 years ago?

Sounds like the story of how Brighton and Crystal Palace fell out and became genuinely toxic rivals.

5-0 the Argies...all from dodgy penalties because it has already been decided.

With Pickford sent off 

Would be one of the greatest games of all time 

[steviewevie]

BBC are there. That over confidence will kill us.

Yeah. 

 

A big Argie Psyop. With the deep state controlling the scores. The same people who manage the band Geese.

Simeone’s lad is starting for Argentina, maybe he’ll get Rice sent off. Could be an epic night 

[steviewevie]

Come on lads, do it for Becks.

 

God Save The King!

[charlierc]

Well... here goes nothing

After watching somersets remarkable win in tonight’s t20 anything is possible 

[Crazyfool01]

Shearer there’s a bit of argy Bargy … deliberate or accidental ? 

[charlierc]

Most cards in a World Cup game was 20 at the 2006 Portugal-Netherlands game, including 4 reds. 18 yellows at the Argentina-Netherlands one at the last World Cup also ranks highly on the ill-discipline score.

 

Be a disappointment if we don't exceed that tbh.

Sounds like a great game so far, but I’m not watching, only listening and it could be English commentary bias 

[charlierc]

Finally, something to unite England and Argentine fans alike.

 

Booing the hydration break.

It’s an example of a regular occurrence when England loses.

 

Technically we hadn't lost yet when the fight broke out.

I don't know, useful wee break.

Eh. It started brightly with a few entertaining squabbles that should've got a booking but neither side's had a real shot in anger yet.

[steviewevie]

Not much in it so far. Bit scrappy.

Thought Argentina had a strong shot just over the bar

I feel overwhelmingly not bothered... England going out would just make the weekend a bit more relaxing.

Especially for front line services, particularly paramedics and A and E staff

Yes, come on Argentina for the NHS.

Yeah but there were a combined 3 shots in the first half and (much as it's a flawed stat) a combined xG of less than 0.1. 

 

Seems to be opening up a bit now though.

I'll have you know we can do our best at getting plastered for the third place playoff against the French thank you very much. And it's at 10pm on Saturday, so perfect clubbing time.
