  1. LB is a struggle, no one really stood out there. I liked Attiyat-Allah(Morocco) but turns out he actually only started two games, Perisic had a good tournament too but only started at LB once so would be a bit cheeky putting him there. 

    Martinez; Hakimi, Thiago Silva, Gvardiol, ??????; Amrabat, Tchouameni, Mac Allister; Griezmann, Messi, Mbappe

    Honestly, if a player stutters that much then they shouldn't be allowed to retake it. The GK and the players around the box are anticipating a shot, they shouldn't be forced to react after he's finished his 300-step run-up. 

    Happened to Son once, only time I can recall seeing it happen. Was yellow carded as well.

    Think the rule is if you stop at all during the run up then it's an offence? Not sure if Lewandowski stopped completely at any point but was definitely pushing it.

    The US have always had a gun problem. But they have a federal government that is actively doing its best to go after it. Brett you brought this up, so if you genuinely cared you'd know this, you'd also know their hands are tied at state levels, they can only really put pressure on at a federal level and even then they are going to struggle a bit with the house reps being red. It's a massive false equivalence because they want to something about it whereas Qatar (and previously Russia) did not hence no political pushback. You complain people have a dog at you, but stuff like this is exactly why. They aren't stupid and see straight through the ********. 

    Actually, I complained about the karma farming digs with no other intention to engage, like yet another one from CC up above. I don't care about people calling me out on something if they actually offer some kind of retort, such as yours. I don't care much for CJ's transparent attempt though.

    So until the USA gets its house in order, all other countries can act how they want? Kill as many people as they want to get football stadia built? This isn't the great argument you think it is.

    10/10 strawman.

    What equivalents are there in 2026?

    Well, we're all for human rights and in 2026 the World Cup is being [co]-hosted by a country that clearly scores very low on that front. I mean what more basic human right is there than to be able to live your life without worrying that some **** is going to shoot you at any second. Clearly they aren't going to do anything about it so I guess it's up to us push for change. I just hope those who have stood against and boycotted this World Cup don't suddenly lose their voice.

    He's trying to say that we wouldn't stand up to the big countries (like Nazi Germany...and Russia right now?!?) but instead only pick on little old helpless Qatar.

    I think.

    Is there not an element of truth in that then?

    Let's see if there's the same level of political push-back in 2026.
