  9. Jude Bellingham revealed what he said to Messi Reporter: "We saw you approach Messi and have a conversation, what did you tell him?"

    ' "Nothing important, I told him that the world knows how the higher authorities help him get here and that he shouldn't feel special"
    "Ronaldo is better than you" were my last words to him before I left'

  10. They turned up the wick too when we scored. Hate to say it, but they were better.

  11. All on Tuchel that.
    Embarrassing evertonian like tactics.
    Southgate would have been destroyed if he’d done the same.
     
  12. Leaving the football aside, there was some ugliness. The argies behaved like cunts at times. Players holding up a very provocative Falklands flag at the end. Naughty. I wonder if FIFA will shaft them… I very much doubt it…

  13. yip, mostly around the UK's press constant references to previous Wars and revenge. why do they do that? i'm sure most people just want to watch their team play and win. (the UK is often referenced by commentators as an island of spectators not participants in most areas of life) and their obsession with people from other nations in the "UK" that don't make it as far in any given tournament accusing them as being anti this or that for not supporting, or for even not taking an interest in how any particular player or team is doing.
     
  14. The coverage on the UK media is awful today. The England team played and lost after a good run.

    But incase you missed it, here's the BBC advice for dealing with post match:

    "Top tips for beating bad mental health after a football loss"

    Personally a mug tea, and changing channel worked fine!

    Congratulations to Argentina, they were the better team on the night.

  15. you gorra love the BBC. chortle.
    forgive my constant harping on about the UK's media. the lengths BBC shortbread and others go to to generate negative and hateful comments around this tournament, and everything else is off the scale.
    aye, just watch the, i'm anti this or that narrative make me take more of an interest or induce feelings of guilt.
    not.
