The game is dying. None of these cups or games are anywhere near as exciting as 20-30yrs ago.
Pepball destroyed football. Almost every club is trying to emulate it.

Advantage Sunderland
Nothing great will ever be achieved without great men, and men are great only if they are determined to be so. For glory gives herself only to those who have always dreamed of her.

Ticket prices have been released for the world cup in Mexico and as you can guess it's absaloutely mental !!! The opening game will cost at least 40 thousand pesos in the average seats. That's basically what Juan makes in 2 months on a normal job. Other prices include packets with 3 or 4 tickets which will cost around 180 thousand pesos a game that's a brand new family car a mortgage or a top of the range swimming pool !

I can't say I'm even slightly surprised by it.
It was never about celebrating the tournament or the global culture of football. It's a carbon copy of that last corrupt.mess in Qatar.
It was about exploiting the cheap infrastructure of Mexico and the cheap labour force within it.
The 'sponsors' of this WC are set to make ludicrous sums of money, largely off the wet backs of Pedro and Sanchez themselves!
The winner has probably already been decided at a very expensive luncheon that was payed for by the taxpayer.
Nope, it was never about the global working class peasants who bleed football in a universal language.
Like everything else we've allowed the rich to steal.it from us and bastardize it.

Harmer celebrating that massive deflection as if it were a cup winner
Brizzle have been poor. If you don't spend 100M in.the championship now, most teams can't compete.

Sunderland v Pigs is a game of two detestable clubs.
Watching these two out-cheat one another with their 'win at all costs' football is going to make my day.
Flop, flop, flop. I hope the EFL send Sam Allison for this one with pens given against both teams

I actually think the pigs will win this time I think the money has finally cancelled these games out now. Wilder also seems to be having none of it either! Like I said both is a win for us really.
