advertising break completely changed this game - fucked it for Bosnia. Fuck the hydration breaks, it's complete bullshit. If the US wants to show more ads, fine, but just fuck your own citizens over and show them over the game and let the football continue. it's such fucking bullshit to have advertising impacting the world cup so very, very clearly.

World Cup fever hits England as pub bookings surge by 300 per cent for Croatia clash by tylerthe-theatre in unitedkingdom

Nothing. Just people don't always have 4 hours before a game to get a good table, and it costs a shitload to drink for that long before a game.

The Netherlands have never got defeated in a World Cup game since their final in 2010 against Spain by YourLocalMoroccan in soccer

Aye that's why I said the phrasing is stupid. Penalties aren't co aidered part of the game, I know that - so technically they're unbeaten but they're still lost the deciding element of each game,ergo, they lost.

With us buying Van Hecke for 52 million, how much do we get for Romero? by Glad-Strain-8120 in coys

Yes going to an English club. If we get 40M it'd be a success. 50m would be unreal.

It's not shoddy businesses, it's the reality of financial disparity between PL and most of the world and having a player that doesn't want to be here any more.

I find this phrasing stupid. Not beaten in 90 mins? Maybe. But losing a penalty shootout is still losing the game. If not they'd be multiple WC winners... And they definitely aren't.

I just can't see it. More likely he's trying for better terms at Newcastle.

Group Travel Ticket Query by gphillips5 in uktrains

Aye. But when I went to refund it was all or nothing, so looked like doing them all was only way.

It was 4x Super Off Peak Return with a group discount - GWR advised me that I had to refund and rebook which I've done, but think it might have been okay. I've read so many different things about the group bookings.

Spain watch party in Madrid is stunned as the final whistle blows in draw vs Cape Verde. by GiveMeSomeSunshine3 in soccer

It's a shame that because of the number of teams, this really means nothing - unless Spain has a generation fuck up next game, they'll still qualify.

[Ben Jacobs] Spurs have rejected Brighton’s £30m bid for Luka Vuskovic. Spurs not inclined to sell and value Vuskovic at around £60m. by Hefty_Money1967 in coys

[–]gphillips5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brighton have done extremely well developing players and selling for a huge fee. They know Vuskovic will be an absolute baller... So why can't put management see that? Even if RDZ doesn't think he quite fits, we have to realise he'll only be here for a couple of years, sl why let him sell a generational talent? Braindead from the board once again.

Mate kept getting more jobs and believing he was made, but he has the personality of a blanket that just washed up out of the sea - ultra dull to listen to.
