Strange season, nobody has a clue how we're gonna work it but what I will say is that Putin has put on a spectacle this time. No issues with hoolagism, racism or homophobia vthat we were all expecting. The guy runsca tight ship and nobody goes against him, hopefully it continues.

Glad it's all over, it means we get back to the real deal.
You're as mad as a bag of frogs mate.
Keep trucking!
Give over OD , it was awful .That the final games were ok , doesn't make up for the tosh we were served up until the quarters .
I thought it was the most entertaining world cup in years to be honest

It was very entertaining, especially with the early shocks, but not always the highest quality football.
City's first eleven would have walked it, especially with England's draw. Raheem for golden boot playing in front of Kev and Dave lol

it’s proven that club football has overtaken international football. entertaining, yes. high quality, not really.
there should be a rule that 75% of players have to come from a country’s domestic league...

Ha ha ha, that came across wrong. What I meant was that everybody thought it could get ugly whereas the despot had other ideas.
Him and Trump will be doing high fives as we speak.

Someone did say beforehand that it wouldn’t be allowed happen on their home turf.
Can’t remember who. Think it might have been Carl. Might be wrong.

apart from some of the decisions
Only bad one was the Griezmann dive which I’m not sure can be reviewed.
Perisic handball was 100% a penalty.
hand to ball?
deliberate?
no. stick to basketball pall.
He moved his hand to the side to block the ball. Not sure what else you want.
VAR was a runaway success all tournament
(By that I dont mean it worked 100% but the game is far better with it than without).
By the way mate, Im not a huge baseketball fan. The Raptors are a big disappointment

Why? How would that increase the quality you are craving?
Attack the argument of the person, not the person of the argument- except Carl.

Best since 2006 for me. Maybe even 98. I really enjoyed it.
Tracking back is overrated.
