    Y'all better be rooting for an Argentina win today. Spain v England would be an absolute snoozefest.

    Oh, I’m not worried.
    I’m sure the fix is in for the refs to make the calls (and lack of calls) go to favor Argentina.o_O:confused:

    Come on Anybody But England!

    England is like a reality tv player. Everyone wants them out the whole game but then when it's time to vote, they say "nah....it'll be easy to get them out next vote" until they end up winning it all.

    I really don't dislike England's team at all.

    It's just hard to imagine the fanbase if they manage to win this thing. They're already insufferable.

    Hope it doesn’t disappoint, but I think we’re in for some drama this afternoon:ROFLMAO:. I’m expecting potential red cards and general argy-bargy.

    I think they should make it interesting: winner gets the Falklands.

    For all y’all griping about how insufferable English fans will be if they win, do you really think all those bandwagon Messi fans, and the ones wearing their Messi jerseys to Crew matches, are going to be any less insufferable?? You’ll see a LOT more of those—including the Miami Pink ones—everywhere.

    Kids who wear Messi jerseys aren't that insufferable to me* English fans if they ever win in their lifetime? My god.



    *compared to their normal amount of annoyingness

    I'd like to have the "over" on fouls.

    Upon reflection, both teams getting 5+ red cards would be an acceptable outcome.

    Hey, kid, you know we have our OWN team with our OWN players—like all the ones you’re getting autographs from—right?

    If they lose, they’ll stay obnoxious for who knows how long.

    But maybe, if they win it this year, they’ll get it all out of their systems over the next four (long) years, then they’ll become mush less annoying after they lose a WC ‘30 QF match on penalties!!

    I’m thinking the long game here.

    I get the sense that these fellas don't like each other all that much.

    Give it a year or so. The thrift stores will be overflowing with those shirts and jerseys. There's a reason the English refer to those types of fans as plastic.

    @kgilbert78 and I both suggest getting used to them. Now that the cash cow is out of the barn, it's not going back in there anytime soon.

    Besides, once they figure out they can do a "Cenovus Energy Prize Pack" or a "Scan To Win A Year Of Pepsi" (12 coupons good for 12 packs of 24 cans each) contest within those three minutes, that's just more sweet sweet money.
