The Football.....

First game for Curacao coming up. Whose manager is Dick Advocaat.

Which sounds more like a drinking contest than a football game.

Off to a fine start. We were pish for the last 20 minutes, but I'll take that.

TBH, Scotland really need to back themselves against Brazil, they look very average. Thiago, Paqueta, Guimaraes, Casemiro are solid PL players but nothing to worry about. If you go into it with a bit of belief and really go for them, there is a result in that game for Scotland.

Looked good for Curacao up to the first water break, which really couldn't have come at a worse time for them as they had Germany rattled at 1-1.
Oddly, being ranked c98th in the world showed in the end as they were humped.

Am I alone in remembering one of the outstanding features of the 1994 World Cup in the USA was the elaborate pitch cutting patterns, particularly in the centre circle?

Haven't seen anything similar this year. Disappointed. 🫤
