The World Cup Thread

[Silhillvilla]

I love how Buendia has travelled to South America during a global pandemic to do a bit of training, what a joke.

it's a piss take as far as i'm concerned . Called it straight away

Anyone seen what's going on in the Brazil v Argentina game. Health officials trying to detain the 4 Premier league players ten minutes into the game.

 

[overlookedvillan]

Pure arrogance by the Argentinian management and football association to think they’re above the rules.

I can't say I have any sympathy at all for our Argentinian lads.

i hope we fine them heavily.

 

[jcm19760]

Our players need to put back on a plane to the UK asap fuck Argentina and Brazil, get yourself isolated for the next days and move on. No cap is worth all of this.

It's funny how these officials chose 5 minutes after kick off to do this as opposed to any other point this lot were in Brazil, including presumably, training a day or so prior.

 

[Stephen Jay Hawkings]

The commentator on the stream I'm watching has asked the question why did the health officials wait until the game was a few minutes in before making their move?

Are these things just done for show?

[danvilla2]

weren't the Brazil government approaching the pandemic with the herd immunity plan

They’ve made our lot look competent and that says something

 

[Pangloss]

weren't the Brazil government approaching the pandemic with the herd immunity plan

No they were approaching it with pure denialism.

 

[jcm19760]

And there was me thinking I had missed the first half

This isn't pandemic control, this is fuck with the Argies for votes.

from The Guardian
“When the Argentinian players based on England entered Brazil, they were required to quarantine, and were informed by authorities they should. When they went to the match, it became clear they had not complied with the quarantine rules, so the authorities went to the stadium to stop the match.

“As you mentioned before match, it was widely announced before the match, and the Brazilian authorities notify AFA. They thought they could get away with after the match had started.”

 

[ironside]

Brazil will be claiming the match by default next.

 

[Silhillvilla]

The Brazilian squad are in a huddle and I think we can accept this game is done for. Do these lads get a cap for this?

I'm not surprised considering the Argentinian manager's attitude towards our players and the upcoming games
