As per Flatspot's post apparently the football (the round thing the idiots paid a million pounds a week kick about )
did or did not go over the line according to VAR
and the goal by Japan that knocked Germany out of the World Cup is being disputed.
JEEEEZZZZZ .... amazed there are people who know less about football than me.
Wife is pissed there were no soaps on TV tonight due to football.
And even I prefer to watch 10 episodes of Coronation Street to one football match

TBH I don't own a TV, so am spared the media overkill that usually surrounds these events when we revert to the primary school mentality of chasing a bit of leather (as was) or running round in circles and jumping up and down.
That said, I don't mind watching a good game of football, and can appreciate the skills involved, but I won't live or die by the results.
Bottom line is it is sadly no longer solely twenty two men kicking a ball around, the politics off the field are taking over every time one of these buffoons gets stuck in front of a microphone.
Money HAS spoiled the 'game', IMHO....

Quite right.
For years the argument was that sport should rise above politics, and it usually succeeded.
Now it’s done a total 180 and sport is used as a platform for politics. Usually, anti establishment politics.
I’m really not sure when / how / why that U-turn came about.
To the best of my knowledge, sporting prowess, or even a formal sports eduction, does not provide for a qualified view on politics…

On the other hand I know more than a few PhD's who probably would hurt themselves making toast. That isn't new but the fact that now most of them are very often wide of the mark in their alleged fields puts them on the same ground as the sports wealthy opining on, well, ANYTHING!

I couldn’t agree more.
The problem with some academics is that they build massive and complex house of cards. And these houses are based on an initial hypothesis.
Does‘t matter how big or fancy the house is if you disagree with the initial hypothesis !
But sometimes, they simply have too much invested in the house to be open to genuine debate. I have witnessed this first hand on several occasions.

Could it be the politicians realise they're not popular enough to sway opinion? Or that rocking the boat could lose them business with those partners whose lifestyle/beliefs/customs they wouldn't normally endorse?
Either way, the original ideology of: 'nations coming together despite their differences' seems to have backfired somewhat with this one..

Big time!
This one was more ‘Nations coming to someone’s country deliberately intent on proving and insulting them’ !
I’m no fan of oppressive regimes. But it is their country.
When in Rome etc…

There are quite a few of us ^^^ in fact I cannot abide football, I even turn the TV over when " they " show the trailers for upcoming matches .
Anyway lets get back onto topic with a joke ...... 🥳
There I was sitting at the bar staring at my drink when a large, trouble-making biker steps up next to me, grabs my drink and gulps it down in one swig.
“Well, whatcha’ gonna do about it?”, he says, menacingly, as I burst into tears.
“Come on, man,” the biker says, “I didn’t think you’d CRY. I can`t stand to see a man crying.”
“This is the worst day of my life,” I say. “I’m a complete failure. I was late to a meeting and my boss fired me. When I went to the parking lot, I found my car had been stolen and I don’t have any insurance. I left my wallet in the cab I took home. I found my wife with another man and then my dog bit me.”
“So I came to this bar to work up the courage to put an end to it all, I buy a drink, I drop a capsule in and sit here watching the poison dissolve; then you show up and drink the whole thing! But enough about me, how’s your day going?”
