@kevinhatchard 12. Conclusion:
No one really cares, it’s just football… although I’m still bitter that a 48 team comp produces a rubbish format. Make it 32 or 64 teams… too many dead rubbers.
Ps Nothing against Italy or Sweden.
Not buying this “it’s not fair that Sweden qualified and Italy didn’t”.
Everyone knew deal at the start. Italy got thrashed home and away by Norway, got second chance in the playoffs and couldn’t take it.
Yes, Sweden were shocking in the qualifiers, but seized second chance.
Before VAR ruined everything, there was Alessandro Del Piero making defenders look like they were standing still.
Alessandro Del Piero Was Unbelievable 😱 youtu.be/rfovsxvT3Do?si…
@StokeyyG2@TheAthleticFC I’m with Virgin, got full sky sports and tnt sports (plus 350mbs fibre broadband) for £60 per month!! Appreciate that’s a good deal though and the point remains it’s more expensive in the UK
@H_Sax98 Lots of negative/nervous energy, was hardly ‘rocking’ against Sunderland either tbh so the narrative of day trippers ruining the atmosphere isn’t one that I can subscribe too much into. If collectively the fan base is not feeding off the performance then things fall flat.
300 of them made a better atmosphere than us tonight. At no point did it get going. The game went to general sale, the revenue from the increase of tickets, I guarantee is not enough to cover the prize money for making it out the group, way too many day trippers there tonight.
