Can folk STOP talking about the curvature of the ball like it is some sort of rare phenomenon! By definition it is curved, perfectly, its a fvcking sphere!

Its just 'the ball' - the ball did not cross the line.

It is because they believed that the ball was flat back in 66 so couldn't have been a curve that could have been on the line

I'm not sure I'm going to sleep tonight.

Firstly tonight I find out the Germans get knocked out in the groups by a fiercely contested and yet correct VAR decision and then I find out England beat Germany to win the World Cup on home soil because there was no VAR.

I'm just going to have to live with this.

A lot of people here seem a bit obsessed with Scotland. Rather pathetic seeing as the team you support isn't even not at the world cup

One is over the line and one is on the line.

Don’t think Germany would have won it anyways.

Remember Lampards goal v Germany 2010 that wasn't given even though it was as far over the line as Barry is out of the closet?

Yeah but what about THAT Archie Gemmill goal?

The scenes. Who would have thought you could fit the entire history of Scottish football into 12 seconds?

Football with a flat ball would be fun but they’d probably call it something like frizzbee ball, forza lite.

How the feck wales were is the biggest mystery.

Brutal is being kind and how the English celebrated beating them an embarrassment.

Have England ever had a hard group in qualifying or group states at any tournament ever.

Any wonder they fail at the business end of things and in fairness will again, when is just the question.

Looks to me like a lot of people taking the pi$$ out of the jocks for basically being ginger, wearing skirts and not being able to hold their drink, eating porridge and fried mare bars and wetting the bed.

If you were an idiot you might confuse that with biting, I suppose. But you would have to be a big idiot.

What is the point here?

How fixed 66 was?

Christ we could spend a day discussing the nonsense that went on in 66, Rattins sending off, Bulgaria being paid to kick lumps out of Brazil and then the goals being ruled out for Brazil in the next game in what was one of many very iffy ref performances against south american sides, a german and two english refs for the Brazil games incidentally. 2 south americans sent off against germany in the QF in a time red cards were rare as rocking horse shat. Phantom goals, Dodgy conditions for opposing teams and on and on.

Not too much has changed...except for choices of "favoured teams"...
I strongly suspect FIFA's current wet dream is to have an African or Asian team be crowned champeens on the altar of inclusivity .
Mark Senegal / Morocco /Japan for more extraordinary feats.
For Euro / S American teams, like in boxing, they will need full KOs to seal wins.
Actually if it happens great entertainment for the neutrals and fantastic for world football in general.

I see no-one can debate the facts here...just attack Barry because he's Scottish.

Culer was right

It is very similar to the bible. The guy that was somehow white in the middle East and his mum was a virgin and he could apparently turn water into wine despite MU52 not being born for 2000 years. Then died and came back to life. Just because something that is clearly made up has been told many times over the years, does not make it true. Knowledge, science and technology advances and we dismiss nonsense that was once believed to be true, like Noah's Ark and England winning the world cup. Science and advances in techology like me drawing a yellow line in Paint have proven that neither happened.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Wait; let me get this right, because this has quite serious ramifications if true.

What you are saying, if I am following correctly, is that MU52 is Jesus Christ Our Lord And Saviour?

The OP will be purchasing a Senegal top if they beat England. He will be dancing up and down the streets between Glasgow and Inverness singing "They came from Senegal and England won fack all".
Everytime England are eliminated from a tournament wild celebrations start in Scotland.
This is sad

Put those bloody nails down, and I'm not carrying that monstrosity through the streets. Give me some water, I fancy a glass of red.
