Whenever there’s a goal scored, the camera view changes to an overhead view of the pitch from far out, as not to capture the hoards of celebrating maskless reprobates.

The mass demonstrations here have been fueled by the World Cup, as local people can see that they are the only country in the world still living under brutal Covid restrictions. Another reason why football is the best game in the world! Anyway, great to see a game with lots of goals in it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a surprising reaction. Looks as if Martinez will be out of job pretty soon. His post match interview exposed him as fraud imo.

That’s what I did for my covid and flu jab that was booked at 4pm when City played Watford. The receptionist just said to tell them that I was booked in later that day. No problem at all.

MarcusX Posted November 28, 2022 Report Share Posted November 28, 2022 I see Klinsmann is getting torn apart for his comments about Iranian "culture" of gamesmanship. He made very similar points as the post about "latinos" on here - also said they wouldn't have got away with it with a european ref. In fairness, I assumed he meant footballing culture and not sure it was meant about Iran as a "culture" outside of football - although he's hardly one to speak about sportsmanship, cheating, conning refs. Not sure you can tarnish all people from one particular country like that though. Not all Germans cheat and dive like Mr Klinsmann did.
