    *Official* Final & 3rd Place Play-off Thread

    Some people are on the pitch, they think it's all over. Lionel Messi's dramatic extra-time goal broke rules and should have been disallowed (msn.com)

    In 2002 England v Brazil was at breakfast time.

    What qualifies as a Wasted Talent?

    I’m beginning to think there is no definition of wasted talent. If Botham’s lack of work ethics is just a character flaw the same is true of anyone in terms of technique or temperament. Anything anyone achieved is exactly what they were capable of achieving because that’s who they were, warts...

    The denouement

    That’s overthinking the mentality of the average football fan. England fans rooting for the Argies were more likely just pleased for Messi. :santa:

    The denouement

    I know Simon Jordan is not someone to respect in any aspect at all, but I did chuckle a bit at his assessment of England’s improvement under Southgate. He said in the past we used to get scruffy wins over teams we expect to beat and then get knocked out by teams we could beat but never do. Now...

    The next one in USA, Mexico and Canada could mean some not too user friendly kick off times UK time. We might not qualify anyway. :santa:

    *Official* Final & 3rd Place Play-off Thread

    Messi’s penalty record is not that great for an elite player. He missed the first one he took in this tournament.

    Quality ending from the BBC. They played out with Frankie Goes to Hollywood “Power of Love” with a tournament montage and ended on the second French penalty miss and didn’t show the winning penalty.

    Agüero doing a bit of a John Terry. :santa:

    *Official* Final & 3rd Place Play-off Thread

    The first 45 minutes were an Argie master class. Most of the second half wasn’t great, but all that will be forgotten - except by those who went to bed at half time because that’s all they saw. :santa:

    In the UK the kick off times were difficult, especially in December.

    If France had turned up in the first 80 minutes it would have been a decent game. :santa:

    The same thing happened against the Dutch and very nearly even against Australia.

    It's the bloke who pissed off Tuchel when Chelsea were binned from the CL last season, so he'll do.

    I don’t think he’s going to deliberately attempt to retire on a high. He’ll just keep on playing for as long as he’s good enough and fit enough to be selected.

    England test tour of Pakistan December 2022

    Bazball continues to flummox Joe Root. First ball duck and taking the new ball. :santa:

    England test tour of Pakistan December 2022

    A bigger lead would be nice, but when I woke up to 150-5 this was dreamland.

    It’s been a fairly decent tournament, but with the PL back next weekend I don’t think it’ll be dwelled on too much.
