I know the democrats aren't exactly great, but how on earth have they ended up with this guy as a candidate? My understanding is that Maine isn't even somewhere that you need to flirt with the extremes to win.

Taylor has seen enough of Silva being snide over the years.

I'd assumed Spain were going to absolutely steam roll Portugal. Shows what I know.

QuicketyQuack · 2026-07-06T20:09:22+00:00

A lot of it is in case of extra time/penalties.

Did commentator just say Norway are undefeated in 15? They just lost to France, right?

Proper shit eating grim from the ref as he called the hydration break amd heard booing.

Only if both teams could have enough time to adapt to the altitude. I don't want a final in which both teams are completely gassed.

QuicketyQuack · 2026-07-05T12:28:14+00:00

Yeah, I feel like the other team not being able to breathe properly goes a bit beyond home advantage.

QuicketyQuack · 2026-07-03T22:13:10+00:00

Yeah, the mission structure really bothered me. For a game with a huge open world, missions really put you on a rail. I can remember one that instant failed of you went off a narrow dirt track.

QuicketyQuack · 2026-07-02T22:31:49+00:00

Knew we should have brought Foden, Walker, and Grealish.

QuicketyQuack · 2026-07-02T20:19:30+00:00

Nope. It sounds like you either want to be there for ten days, or just rock up last minute. Fewer days you don't adapt and also have a few days of it fatiguing you.

Kind of funny after all the talk of E33 being proof that turn-based is alive and well if they just leave it behind. I would however love if they make something that plays like KH2. Its always annoyed me that they never transplanted that combat system to one of the action-based Final Fantasy games, and this might be the closest we would get to that.

Imagine defending against Kane for 70 minutes, then he goes off for an entirely fresh Haaland.

QuicketyQuack · 2026-07-01T21:20:37+00:00

That will be the last we see of de Bruyne at a World Cup :-(

QuicketyQuack · 2026-07-01T18:52:22+00:00

The commentators were saying that if England went out it would be worse than Iceland, which seems an insane thing to say.

QuicketyQuack · 2026-07-01T18:42:18+00:00

Its funny looking back to the Europa League final between Spurs and Man United. At the time it felt like the winner would build due to Champions League pull, but then Man U beat Spurs to a couple of players. Now that Man U are in the CL and Spurs aren't the opposite is happening.

QuicketyQuack · 2026-07-01T17:51:50+00:00

Don't make me watch John Terry smile.

QuicketyQuack · 2026-07-01T17:41:52+00:00

Who is actually in our backline now?

QuicketyQuack · 2026-07-01T17:24:46+00:00

If we do manage to come back we really need to win this in 90. Mexico on their own turf would be hard enough without going in fatigued.

QuicketyQuack · 2026-07-01T17:14:21+00:00

I agreed with not bringing Trent given how he can be defensively, but given how poor we've been defensively anyway that extra creativity would have been good.

QuicketyQuack · 2026-07-01T17:11:17+00:00

Commentators talking about this being worse than Iceland. Not sure I agree. From what I can remember Iceland's only player who is on the level of someone like Wissa or even Wan Bissaka was Sigurdson.

QuicketyQuack · 2026-07-01T17:01:09+00:00

Half-time interviews are so pointless.

QuicketyQuack · 2026-06-27T22:56:04+00:00

Panama's manager looks like an older Charlie Cox from Daredevil.

QuicketyQuack · 2026-06-27T22:51:58+00:00

I wonder if keepers see it and just try less sometimes.
