On the scale of ludicrous football knowledge posts, this is elite.

I may have gone too far with Chris Wood, but I stand by the rest. He's a great finisher, big and a great athlete and that's what makes him elite but technically he's no Kane, Ibrahimovic, Benzema, Lewandowski, Drogba, Cavani, Batistuta, van Basten etc etc etc.
-
Taking a first time cushioned finish from around your ears, which are more than six foot off the ground, is technically quite proficient.
You might be thinking of flashy unecesssary touches, rather than technique.

Had the misfortune of watching this one in the pub after football. What a shitfest.
It was like watching us play.

If you don’t think Egypt were robbed by VARgentina then you are probably a Rich B racist. One goal ruled out by something that VAR shouldn’t have been able to intervene in and the possible offence was soft and on the wrong end of the field.
Then Salah tripped but VAR doesn’t look at it and the Argies run down the other end of the story Egypt style and win the game.
Either the Egyptian goal should have counted or the Argu goal should have been called back for a penalty. That was massive Man Utd bias there for Messi and co.
Christ, I hope they crash and burn before they meet someone in the final. Maybe The Swiss will shithouse them to death and then beat them in a penalty shootout. That would be funny.
Anyway. Why am I watching this shit? Because it’s entertaining shit and I am still watching it like a moron even if it’s a stacked deck.
Chicago: Weeeeeeeeeeeee!

I see that lucky Gareth Southgate has got the easier side of the draw again.

Or, countering your anti-Argentina racism, Egypt's goal rightly ruled out for a (pretty crucial) foul in the build-up.
And Egypt's penalty claims correctly overlooked because Salah did what he's been doing for Liverpool for years and fell theatrically. (I thought it was a dive initially, because, er, Salah, but the replays showed they probably have a case) -
As a point of order is that racism?

Italians who speak Spanish and act like they're English? With a dash of runaway nazi, and the largest Welsh-speaking community outside Wales, I believe.

I've been to Argentina so would like to put myself forwards as the collectives foremost authority on this subject. I was there for mostly a week and ate a lot of KFC because I can not speak Spanish and those cunts don't speak English.

Didn't pointing and shouting work?

Travel and experiencing new cultures broadens your mind.
Weren't you largely on 2 litres of coke and a swiss roll before then? Their dietary help has probably got you into your forties...
-
Which proves my point that it's bent because they didn't even bother looking at it. Also what's with Pro Argentina Rhetoric? Are you even English?
Chicago: Fighting the good fight.

This swiss roll thing is a myth. I only ever ate French Fancies, and then only the pink and yellow ones.
And the odd cherry bakewell, obvs.

Forest have had some legendary Argentinian players - Nico, Gino, Gonzo, Claudio.
Forest have had zero Egyptian players. And Salah is a bindipper. No contest.
