Declan Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 As if this World Cup couldn't sink any lower, I see that the FA have caved in to FIFA on the One Love captain's armband and are "asking" captains not to wear them. It seems even this most teeny-tiny token gesture is too much for the suits that run the game. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really is the most blatantly corrupt sporting event ever held. 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Declan Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 In a few years everyone will pretend this World Cup didn't happen. So this will be one England wins. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well one would have hoped that the laws of the game would have prohibited it from happening at the time of the incident. Even “ ungentlemanly conduct” as a catch all.

This is one such case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
