    Lol that’s a shambles.

    **Official** English Football Season 2023/24

    We underperformed for years before the fans turned on Ole. Even by the end of his era the ‘pitchforks’ level was way below where it would have been for anyone else. You get all sorts online but the fans at the games haven’t turned too hard on any of our managers. Ten Haag has had one good...

    Well making that post was a terrible idea.

    Pool C - Wales, Australia, Fiji, Georgia, Portugal

    Holding wales to no bonus point would be a real achievement.

    That's just because in a World Cup those are the only injuries the players don't push themselves through. But you often end up with poor quality rugby in the knockouts where at least one side is clearly too banged up to do themselves justice.

    Slowing the tournament down is a good thing on balance IMO. Makes injuries less decisive. 4 team groups with a week’s break before the knockouts might be the way to go.

    Otherwise (Very) Good Players who Look Crap asf

    I always have a soft spot for cricket's freaks and weirdos, especially the bowlers, but Sohail Tanvir was too much even for me. It was like someone took a perfectly good bowling action and clicked one side of his body out of sync with the other.

    Otherwise mediocre players who were aesthetic af

    This one works on multiple levels because he spent his last couple of years playing aesthetic af cover drives at air while his off stump cartwheeled away aesthetically af.

    I'm falling into YouTube rabbit holes on why the Ireland attack is so effective. I sometimes get a bit obsessed with sports teams that do something new and special - the Guardiola Barca team and the Klopp Dortmund team in football, the Bazball England team. But I think this is the first time...

    Yeah there was a spell in the 2010s when this completely ruined the game at international level. The refs have got a better handle on it now in general, but the ref in this game was just piss-weak.

    NFL / NCAA Football

    Hahaha oh man. The Jets roster looking Super Bowl ready just rubs salt in the... achilles. I hope they trade for someone because that much talent with the WOAT quarterback is just bleak.

    Sooo good to have Sunday nights of American football back.

    Pool D - England, Argentina, Japan, Samoa, Chile

    Yeah terrible late tackle, no idea what he was doing. Straight line out rules need a rethink IMO. Enforcement is based almost entirely on whether the ball travelled far enough for the angle to be noticeable.

    Pool D - England, Argentina, Japan, Samoa, Chile

    They combined every possible type of bad rugby into one performance. The constant handling errors and daft penalties were one thing, but I can’t remember ever seeing an international side handle the Garryowen so badly. It resulted in a very retro type of game where the extra man was a complete...

    It might be the worst I’ve ever seen a real rugby nation play. England have been getting destroyed all year playing this style with 15 men.

    Argentina have been absolutely terrible.

    Pool A - New Zealand, France, Italy, Uruguay, Namibia

    I didn't think it would make much difference before the tournament, but after watching that game I would definitely prefer to meet NZ in the quarters than France.

    Pool A - New Zealand, France, Italy, Uruguay, Namibia

    ABs had serious breakdown problems in the second half. Ruined their attacking game completely. The stupid yellow didn’t help either.

    Pool A - New Zealand, France, Italy, Uruguay, Namibia

    I thought the ABs played the better rugby that half.

    Lol All Blacks not hanging around.
