Darren Fletcher should be watching FCCincinnati vs Vancouver in MLS right now. 4-3 after 60 minutes. Exhibition soccer in competitive play!

If, on the off chance you actually enjoy the shithousery, might I recommend a random El Salvador-Honduras friendly? Imagine this, with significantly worse quality, playing on the worst pitch you can imagine.

Ref should have to be on the sidelines for a minute if he needs treatment like that.

Spare a thought for everyone seated behind the goal on the right of your tv screen. Seven goals, none in front of them, and the sun is shining right in their faces.

Third place is clearly the real final, as the losers in the ‘Final’ still get given medals

It turns out France’s football ability is directly tied to the Bayeux Tapestry being in France

We should make the second half like Soccer Aid and have the French bring on Michel Roux, Laurent Jalabert and Azzedine Habz. Couldn’t scarcely be worse

this game is always just about which team gives slightly more of a shit, and i'm pleasantly surprised to learn that it's england.

there were 3 minutes added on for that half. so without the hydration break, the referee added on nothing. because it was just 45 minutes of pure football.

This is why I hate Argentine football. 10 thugs kicking lumps out of the opposition while the world lets marketing dazzle them with the 11th.

LLMs are a kind of uncertainty filter that give credible sources and bad ones the same glossy finish, severing the links so you can't really be sure
