I see it and I don't care, many other lifes have. Why won't you wake the fuck up? Somehow this seems like an appropriately mad follow-up to that refereeing performance, and for that I commend you for keeping the carnival going.

England Croatia final for me It wouldn't even have went to penalties had Messi not been on the park with another assist and goal. Think he's 'provided a goal', the difference, in every game he's played since Saudi Arabia. TheKingObv 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could make an argument for Italy 2006. Decent run to the semi, then extra time past Germany before the final that they won on penalties against 10 man France.

They were certainly lucky in the last 16 against Australia but they bodied the Czechs in the groups and the Ukrainians in the quarters and they absorbed everything Germany chucked at them comfortably in the Semi Final and deservedly won in the end.
