Burnwinter Haha, Auckland where I grew up. Teenage football so someone from each team (generally a parent) would referee a half. Sometimes they would be overly biased against their team trying to look fair but other times they wouldn't even pretend to not be cheating. I can remember fight almost breaking out between opposition parents. 😆 It's probably the same in most countries but there's a lot of politics in kids sport here with parents pushing their kids over everyone etc. Its much worse in kids cricket.

invisibleman18 Big bad Auckland where the nepo-babies thrive ... I'm still shocked but now I'm thinking I'm just not a parent so I wouldn't know. 🙂

Kids sport is brutal. For the parents. And sometimes grandparents.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

JazzG God, Dixon is so drab.

Mirth

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert no wonder Adams became an alcoholic

Qwiss

Coombs agree on Anderson. Good player but the £100m+ price tag is insane.

Qwiss

JazzG she's like Stato on the original Fantasy Football

Qwiss

Asterix no lies about Trump or Starmer tbh

MistaT too old

Just wait until Saka is fit and they come pinging in from the other side.

Madueke winning a penalty, Rice and Saka assist. Good day for the Arsenal boys

Even if none of them looked uber-convincing, there was solid output from them, even half-crocked.

USArsenal I liked Noni's performance. Decision making was better.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert he has controlled chaos. He’s severely underrated

FEBravo

invisibleman18 I remember Pepe Reina being virtually on the edge of the 6 yard box in the FA Cup final shootout and it really pissed me off it was allowed at the time - my incident being a lot more recent at that stage.

The Milan Liverpool CL final in 2005 I think was the worse I had ever seen

USArsenal

Somehow S Africa managed a draw against Czechia...

Sicario2

USArsenal it felt like SA had 11 Eboue’s on the pitch…

Canada take the lead against Qatar... This is a tough game to watch if you expect quality, but they are all certainly running around a lot.

Sicario2

USArsenal good you need the host county to go as far as possible if you usually want a good World Cup. South Africa didn’t make it out of the group stages in 2010 and that was one of the worst world cups I can remember

USArsenal

Sicario2

Eh, there are 3 host countries... And Im pretty sure both the US and Mexico will make it through

That said, its 2-0 Canada, and Qatar just had a player sent off.. Canada will also go through if they win this (which the most likely will).

Jonathan David is so much better than anyone else out on the pitch... And i never thought he was top quality.

Sicario2

USArsenal all 3 should go through and the tournament will be better for it
