TAKE THAT SHIT TO THE-BRITS.COM

I feel hungover after watching those 2 games even though I had nothing to drink!
Honestly relieved that I won't have to watch Neymar lift a World Cup. He's a sack of shit, as exemplified by him not taking the first penalty just so he could hog the glory in the 5th one. Turns out the first one is more important than the 5th one, which he found out sometimes doesn't even need to be taken.
Messi on the other hand. I cannot process what happened in that game, but his date with destiny still seems to be on.

I hate pennos but it looks like everything gets decided this way in the final stages. My money is on France, they seem to be the strongest side left and must be confident now. Well done to Morocco but parking the bus isn't what World Champions should be opening with.
Congratulations Argentina. I was happy for Messi to get his winner's gong after all that. Winning a World Cup is hard, right?
I had France as favourites because they are younger and generally have enough pace to get something against every defence they've faced. I couldn't believe how slow they started though - it was like they'd already played through 120 minutes + a shootout in the morning.
Messi will be missed but there are very few players like him to go around. And happy to see Julian Alvarez do well through the tournament, can't believe City got such a bargain there. I think Martinez' golden glove gesture was definitely in poor taste, and therefore superbly fitting for a shithouse tournament in a shithouse nation. He should have put a rainbow armband on it for bonus points.

Chelsea still kings of the reactive "Quick! Before anyone else gets him!" game. He has been consistent with Benfica but this is a step up for him. Looks like Jorginho made way. Another player who was all set for City until Chelsea did a Chelsea. Good value for Arsenal.
Sean Dyche > Everton is a good move for Everton. I see Sean in Nottingham regularly, his family live here and his local is next to the castle. I guess he's going to be staying up in Liverpool for the foreseeable. He's a character and players generally are happy to have worked for him, even when he has sold them on. They criticise his tactical depth but really at Burnley it was always a question of massaging the holes for the pegs they had, rather than buying new pegs.
I hear Bielsa wanted to start by populating the first team with youth squad players moulded in his tactical image which is why they couldn't agree a deal, as the club wanted a quicker fix. There is more money at EFC but the problem is the Chairman - I guess that's true at most clubs.

the Frank Lampard of strut commentary, back to manage the forum!
Playing days or management?
So... Manchester Citeh look to be in a spot of hot water with the FA. I've read/heard some say they expect relegation and past titles rescinded. The former sounds possible, the latter is a tricky one, especially for cup trophies: you can't just give the FA Cup to whoever lost in the final because teams Citeh knocked out along the way will be saying they could've got to the final if they'd drawn Spurs instead etc.
