SEE YOU! A brand spanking new modern fitba thread 2025-2026

If you look at the last names of players throughout the years it would seem a lot of more of Mussolini types arrived there than Hitler ones.

 

Yeah, but at the end of the day the Krauts vs England on WC wins is the same score as Belgium-US... 4-1.

 

A team of Italians now go to play a final in North Jersey.

Don't be surprised if Yamal mysteriously goes missing like Jimmy Hoffa.

 

btw, i fully agree with English being pissed about the passive play and substitutions that foretold it, particularly given the history.

What I don't get is when Jose Mourinho used to do similar shit they would call it a "tactical master class". I'm aware he re-signed with RM but is that who the media type would want as a manager?

 

It makes me wonder what Italian tourist think of the guido jersey type Italians.

 

No-one with a brain thought he was some kind of master manger. He spent about a billion quid, in an era when you could spend whatever you had, and built a bus with Drogba up top.

Half a dozen lads here could do the same. Hardly clever, was it?

Ok I see.

Like I said it's a question of character and intent. But the UK in 1990 was coming off 12 years of Thatcher you'd think they'd be more cynical

 

I certainly didn't and i'm nowhere near as knowledgeable as fans that live and breath everything football. Media seemed to love him for some reason.

 

Gazza in 1990 couldn't fucking spell 'Thatcher'. He can't spell 'Gazza' in 2026

MTF

 

He won stuff and had a big mouth. That makes him media fanwank.

He's been a busted flush for at least 15 years.

MTF

 

100%

And yet he gets the RM job.

Again.

You could take somebody off the street and put them in charge of that squad and they will get a lot of wins.

 

It's what I call the 'Raheem Sterling' effect. Stick a fucking hopeless sprinter in a pair of football boots at the top end of a team that cost £2billion more than the next best team and watch in suprise as he taps in hundreds of the easiest goals in football history. Put him in one of the teams that cost less than two billion and...well, we all know the rest.

Racism.

MTF

 

Even though he might be a better player this is how feel about Leroy Sane.

 

Ratface Neville making the rounds.

“I cannot believe that goal has been allowed to stand. Looking at the replays available to us, I honestly expected the referee to be sent to the monitor because it appears incredibly tight, and there are serious questions about Messi’s position in the build-up. “I cannot believe that goal has been allowed to stand. Looking at the replays available to us, I honestly expected the referee to be sent to the monitor because it appears incredibly tight, and there are serious questions about Messi’s position in the build-up. These are the moments VAR was introduced for. A World Cup semi-final can be decided by one goal, so every offside decision has to be absolutely beyond doubt. If millions of people watching around the world are immediately questioning it, then you have to ask whether the review process has done its job properly. England have every right to feel frustrated because they defended brilliantly for long periods, only to see the game change through a decision that will be debated long after the final whistle. *Whether the officials ultimately got it right or wrong, the fact we’re still arguing about it tells you everything. In matches of this magnitude, football deserves complete clarity, not controversy.”

 

Fucking failures, happy failing:

Rat faced loser crying.

The England match looked like a typical Frank Bruno fight when you knew it was inevitable that they were going to blow it late

 

Or in other words, England thought they were big and bad for beating up Canelo --- then ran into Carlos Monzon.

 

England have every right to feel frustrated because they defended brilliantly for long periods

Exhibit A for one of the people who have too much influence in English football.

Whether the officials ultimately got it right or wrong, the fact we’re still arguing about it tells you everything



Who is arguing about it? It does tell me something though.

 

Never could stand him. Always laughed when his sides got eliminated in Champions League

 

They pulled a De La Hoya in the 8th round against Trinidad.

Just cowardly tactics and you could FEEL Argentina coming on.

 

Yes, but it was up to Argentina to score not just an equalizer but the winning goal. Will it ever end with England not giving any credit without a massive side of begrudging?

If Argentina scored first, did the exact same thing and conceded two would there be any of the same talk?


No of course not. it would be "Brilliant England, they never quit. Kept pushing for the win."

 

I couldn't face going in to work today. Most likely will call in sick tomorrow, too. Think I'm still drunk anyway, so I just told work I've got a sickness, diarrhoea bug.

I was praising Tuchel all along and firmly believed, finally, he could be the man to guide England to World Cup glory. But he did a Southgate. Now I'm questioning if he's the man to take England forward. I don't think he is. At 1-0, you go for tbe jugular, but the opposite happened ans we invited too much pressure on. Feeling really gutted.

 

And who the fuck really wants to play in a 3rd vs 4th place game. Probably the most meaningless game in the history of football.

 

Feel better, Jimmy. I know its devastating, but theres always the Euros 28. You guys have a chance at breaking through there.

 

Gotta blame Tuschel for that I think

 

12% possession between the opening goal & equaliser. Absolute bed-shitting

 

I'm pretty disappointed, I've Monday off to watch final in pub & it would've had way more juice if England were playing. Everyone singing y viva espana before the game, Spain tops and jokeshop bullfighting costumes

 

At one point last night I was brimming with confidence, looking forward to booking Monday off and having a great session in the pub on Sunday. Now I think I'll just go to the cinema and eat a copious amount of popcorn.

 

good to see France and England punished for their non-national teams
