Other Games - 2026 FIFA Men’s World Cup Edition (+ warm-up matches): Villa-watch

[cdbearsfan]

That's a bloody foul. Arsenal-type goal.

I don't mind it at World Cups. The biggest stage of all which small and crap at football countries like Curacao, Norway and Scotland rarely get to. Having paid a fortune for a ticket to what is possibly a once in a lifetime event then let them row their boats. Do not stop the boats!

[Smirker]

I already hate the Norwegian fans with that cringe 'row the boat' bit.

Worse than Hull City and their 'mauled by the Tigers' shamefest.

But a fitting addition to this World Cup.

Same. But I always knew it would be the World Cup of cringe.

No, there's nothing wrong with people being harmless twats.

It wouldn't be for me but at least they kept their tops on.

Yes and that's part of the problem. They're vikings.

I want to see some pectorals. Some delts. Some big, wide lats.

[Hillbilly]

Over the course of this match I've grown to hate Ryerson (the guy with the bleached hair).

Big Emi starts for Argentina against Algeria, as you'd expect.

[PeterWithesShin]

Come on Algeria!

I've only ever met one Norwegian, and he looked like Moby. I was most disappointed.

Anyone else a little tired at the posturing this Argentina team always do walking out to the pitch surrounding Messi?

Not to get all 1982 on here, but I would love us to smack them if we play them later on in the competition, especially that twat Romero.

[Hillbilly]

I'll always find Swedish snobbery about Norwegians funny. Swedes see them a bunch of unsophisticated farmers who got lucky. Might be a bit of jealousy there.

[Rory]

I find all international rivalries strange, in a sporting context.

Like when anybody says 'England vs the old enemy'.

Fuck me, that could be anyone!

[Brazilian Villain]

Emi gives Messi a little tap during the national anthem to assure him that all will be fine.
