okay, probably a wee bit biased but i think the scots have been hard done by the ref, bit late to hoy LND on as well.
I was hard done by the ref I needed one more Scotland card and he’s just blown for that foul at the end where he dragged him back on the counter and didn’t book him then blew for full time the wazzick :emoticon-0102-bigsm
 
Gobsmacked at Turkey being so bad.

I’d have had them as a contender for quarters there’s clearly something rotten in their squad.

Not like they had a tough group either. Delighted for Omar mind.
Bit of the old England about them maybe. Struggling under the pressure and not being able to enjoy playing.

Turkey are a strange team. They had a weak 4 team qualifying group with Spain (obviously not weak), Georgia and Bulgaria so were always going to finish comfortably second. They got a 6-0 hammering off Spain at home but drew 2-2 in Spain in the last game. They won all the other games (Georgia and Bulgaria only ended up with 3 points each after beating each other) but some of the results and performances were inconsistent, a couple of big wins but also a couple of narrow wins. They then had probably the easiest knockout path against a pretty weak Romania and the Kosovo, beating both 1-0. So you don't really know if they've been tested enough in qualifying, and maybe haven't had enough games against other higher standard teams in the last couple of years to push them. If there is something rotten in the set up, that's the kind of thing that can mask it.
 
Would anybody be interested in a private flight for five people to Boston for England's next World Cup game this Tuesday (23rd June)?

I’m looking for two more people, DM me if you're in!

Plan: Leave Newcastle at 9am Tuesday , watch the England game, stay overnight in Boston and then Fly home Wednesday morning!

To be considered, at least one of you needs to have a private jet and 5 World Cup tickets, otherwise we can't go! ⚽✈️
