@ralpha060461 There was a 10-1 scoreline in the ‘82 World Cup between Hungary and El Salvador when there was only 24 teams in the competition.

When a team gets hammered 7-1 in a World Cup tournament you have to ask whether increasing the number of teams in the tournament was really a good idea

@IrfaanMahmood Looks like self defence to me

@andyroo1711 @donmcgowan Singing is a personal choice if anyone chooses to sing it’s their choice, it’s not mandatory. By not singing they are simply following etiquette and protocol. Only wet wipes get upset about people not singing by the looks of it.

@stevemor123 @donmcgowan Tell that to the Scots, Brazil, Morocco and Australia who do not seem to have a problem with that. The thing that does surprise me is that having taken the knee for an American gangster that they did not take the knee for Henry Nowak?

What day this week do we expect Nigel Farage to start weaponising the England football team? We all know it's coming, I'm just curious as to when it might.

@andyroo1711 @donmcgowan You do know that it is perfectly good etiquette not to sing along to the National anthem and good protocol as long as you remain quiet and face the flag if it is on display. Singing is purely optional, right?

@donmcgowan What a djckhead you are Don. We do have a bunch of players who seem incapable of singing the National Anthem. They don’t have a problem picking up the wages though.

@Bird649T @TheRealJamieKay Perverting the course of justice carries a maximum life sentence, like he’s not going to hand over the footage 🤣

@TheRealJamieKay Does the fucking idiot think the police won't demand the uncensored footage? Or that he wouldn't be withholding evidence. Or that these utter fucking thugs are actually patriots as they smash up their own country? Deluded little twat.

Bob realising his videoing has led to the imprisonment of his gullible supporters. Comedy gold.

@Emperorruss Does it really matter?

BBC World Cup. BBC trying to kid us they are in NYCity with the same backdrop as ITV have but itv are really there but this show is from a broom cupboard in Salford. Shameful. Greatest Show on Earth and they can't have a studio in USA

@joemichalczuk Do yourself a favour, switch on as the teams come out, make a brew at half time and switch off on the final whistle. The benefits are twofold. You don’t care where they are and you don’t have to listen to their crap.

Some previous BBC studios. Just watched their Canada coverage & absolute bullshit it makes no difference where they present it from. It was just awful being in a VR studio. It’s the World Cup: the biggest sporting event every 4 years - the national broadcaster should be there.

@MittensOff He will have to reveal the raw footage to the police otherwise he will be charged with perverting the course of justice or assisting an offender.

The lad's cacking his pants. 😂

@GambleEveryday @_ben_gs Why is it only football fans that cry about not singing the National anthem? Not singing along shows etiquette and respect, it’s not an act of treason.

@_ben_gs Your team is primarily African and don’t sing the national anthem your coach is German and he doesn’t sing the national anthem it makes perfect sense to not support that bullshit

Is it just me or is it absolutely baffling that some English people don’t support the England national football team?

@undisputed104 ‘Soccer’ is a posh boy slang term invented at Oxford University and commonly used in England up until the 1960’s until it fell out of favour. So we’ve called it that before and you copied it when the US started playing properly when the word was fashionable.

If the USA wins the World Cup, does the rest of the world finally have to start calling it soccer?

@StevePenk Learnt many years ago to turn on just as the teams are entering the field, make sure I’m the one making the brew at half time and switch off just after the final whistle. That goes for every game, there’s so much time to fill with nonsense.

@Phil197881 @mikegallacher1 @MurloGreen Yeah ‘cos nothing screams classy area than flying tatty flags halfway up a lamppost.

@mikegallacher1 @MurloGreen They are flown to remind you lefty cunts that this is ENGLAND and not some 3rd world shit hole that you and Labour would like us to become. Now fuck off.

Do you remember in previous World Cup competitions when every shop was selling England flags and banners, and every other car had flags flying from little plastic flagpoles, and there were always a number of houses festooned in the cross of St George. This year? Nothing.

@stan_chow They took it and used it as the B of the Bang outside the Etihad.

It saddened me that the shadow of that thing isn’t visible anymore at the Azteca…

@RasmusJarlov It’s an old English slang word for Association Football created by University students at Oxford. It’s a traditional English word dating back to the 1800’s and it ain’t that deep.

The World Cup starts tomorrow. I have only one wish: For God's sake dont call it soccer. The name of the world's most popular sport is football.

@BPete1970 @thepoacher7 @CornedbeefstRed Yes it was, they’d just come up, pretty good away following.

@stevemor123 @thepoacher7 @CornedbeefstRed Think it was the sept 77 game they won 1-0 I think Steve

Remember this coming season when fans of Coventry come out with we support our local team etc This is their away fans at Old Trafford in 80s when it wads cheap to get in & you could pay on the gate etc Most others clubs were the same at Old Trafford too

@BPete1970 @thepoacher7 @CornedbeefstRed Remember Chelsea coming to OT in ‘77-78 and filling the entire scoreboard standing, which was unusual back then for a team that wasn’t local. They sneaked a 1-0 win as well.

@thepoacher7 @CornedbeefstRed To be honest although we didn’t play them all the time I felt Chelsea were the best London club re bringing decent followings to our place. Arsenal & Spurs fluctuated a lot depending on how they doing in the league. The others weren’t worth talking about

@UKFootyBible You do know that it conforms with etiquette when the National anthem is playing to not sing along, right?

Thomas Tuchel refused to sing the National Anthem again…

@CansAndBansV13 Used to see him all the time at Old Trafford to be fair, he used to sit near me.

That weird faced England fan who carries the World Cup around with him. Proper wrong un isn’t he? Says he’s a United fan but I’ve never seen him on a euro away

@ilovemilkcakes Their Billionaire influencers must be laughing their tits off as to how easy it was to manipulate these freaks.

Headphones died on me when I need em the most

@LeeMUFC7 @K_Stand_Red Remember lads selling tickets for the city end in the pub the night before. Shit result though.

Manchester Derby 1989. Remember it well. Kicked off everywhere inside and outside. Game stopped whilst they escorted United fans to the away end who were met with a round of applause. The scoreline let us down but I still loved it. #MUFC
