Have you ever seen LOLpool win the league? I haven't but I did see Stevie G slip

Yeah, I actually have, and I believe Chelski was in the second tier back then. And they have done it 18 times. Unless you are rooting for ManU, ya can't claim the same.

Definitely can't fault Liverpool for lack of silverware (or fault Spurs folks angry that despite our growth and success we've still won f*** all in about a decade)

Now if only any of it was recent...

Well, I guess if the dearly departed is to be believed, 4th place is a kind of trophy.

tbh I will miss le voyeur, Chelsea got some nice players from the gooners

Now about spudz winning something special, I will say winning at Stamford Bridge for the first time in 28 years is a start on the right track

Spuds 3 - Chelski 1 on penalties

I am sure England fans would have put a petition to replay the match if England lost the shootout

Ha. I am sure the England fans thought he shot better bc of it and made jokes about Liverpool and concussions.

I don't care much about The 3 Lions, but I will give props to Jordan Pickford for this save - IMHO incredible state of mind to remain focus on this attempt

​

 

[Qhrumphf]

Ok, I'm ready to say it.

It's Coming Home.

 

[Scturo]

If the goaltending continues to be strong, you might be right.

 

[Qhrumphf]

Pickford has been ******* amazing for sure.

I have a Belgian Saison on tap. May drink some between 2 and 4.30, but don't want to jinx the French.

Farking English. I hope they get sent home again. Arrogant pricks think they own the game merely for writing an English set of rules.

I like this group of lads, and since neither the US or Scotland qualified, I am supporting them. BTW, they don't spend the whole game flopping [emoji1]

Every time England scores, gallons of beer is spilt.

If it was all Pickford, England would be in the Sunday game. The 10 (Actually 14) other ******s never put a shot on the frame

Very flat footed after the equalizer. Then just going for the long ball (very Scottish [emoji1]).

Kinda glad I was stuck working and unable to watch.

Nah, it was a game worth watching. Plus, England was essentially Spurs for a bit. Walker is a nice Centerback.

Walker has proven why it was smart to sell him.

I'll probably watch a replay. Definitely watching the final and 3rd place matches on the weekend.

Problem with late shift swing. I missed almost all the knock out matches.

Also as much as I love the Fotmob app, their "news" is horrendous. Not only the pervasive spreading of unsubstantiated clickbait, but the exaggeration and #narrative.

After England lost, headline of "England crashes out of World Cup".

Mate, losing in extra time in the semi-finals, with still a game to play for 3rd place is NOT crashing out.

Germany crashed out. England did not.

So true

 

[robdogj]

remember what happened the last time Die Deutsche Mannschaft didn't make it out of the Group Stages?

Crap, now I've finally sobered up, I'm even MORE depressed!!!

Damn redcoats and their superiority (unjust) complex.
