That Sweden side were average borderline poor, if we win tonight , I’d start rashford against Sweden , I doubt they’d be able to cope with his energy and pace.
That is why you can never assume anything...it's who you draw and if you avoid bad luck...like that Sweden goal. The best teams will do well over several matches, but anything can happen in a one off.
Now, that is one massive can of worms. What about all the things we have done? Modern persecution, invading countries for oil. Christ, I'm ashamed to be apart of the western culture some days. But well done for bringing up WW2 when a super respectful football team & fan base get praised.
I agree mainly with what you are saying...people in the present can't be held responsible for the past. As they say the past is another country. However, that also applies to Western civilisation. Why be particularly ashamed? Do you think nasty things weren't happening in all countries in the past? Mayans, Romans, pre-Raj India, Polynesians, Native Americans...the list is endless.
Feels like we've been at it more in modern times that others. I'd sit Bush & Blair at the same table as Hitler & Stalin. That will be harsh for some, but I think they committed war crimes for money, and that does not sit well with me. Anyway, enough of this now. Bigger fish are ready to fry.........
The crap that ref let Colombia get away with. What an absolute joke he was. Someone chases you and gets in your face, book him, at one point he asked a player to go away six times and never booked him. The crap they did with destroying the penalty spot. Jesus.
