Michael vs Michael. 🎯 What a great game.

On watching via the TV in Indonesia:
Every TV nowadays has a DVB-T tuner built in. And the antenna can be a very cheap external solution, with our without amplification.

That will give you -depending on your location- approximately 19 local tv channels. SCTV for instance, bought the rights for the European Champions League football games. On TVRI Sports they also broadcast the Australian basketball competition and major tennis tournaments and grand slams.
 
If you have cable and watch the local channels they are frozen or screenshot

Unplug your cable and watch the local channel "free" version and can see the games on whatever channel it is

What could have been. Neymar biggest ever waste of money and talent. Big cry baby who prefer to party than play.

Compare to Mbappe who actually delivered and played well consistently.

Mbappe definitely wins it for me

Likewise CR7 v Messi the staggering favouritism shown to Messi in awards over the years to fit in with FIFA agenda.

For me CR always much better player. Played several different leagues and teams and won in every country and still trying hard at 41

Messi bankrupted Barca with his salary and wouldn't even play final season for half salary to help them. Instead moved to Team Beckham/Adidas/FIFA and couldn't even be bothered to turn up for friendly and press PR gigs many times.

Anyway come on Mexico. As usual England scrape through against lower teams and make out they are top 6 etc etc. Be great to see them spanked by Mexico. The press already given them their excuse about altitude and the hotel and can't sleep etc. Nonsense.

Croatia. Ghana. Panama. Congo. I mean come on. Should be P4 W4 by 3-0 each time.

And Kane always either a penalty or missing for the big games.

Please Mexico. And then Norway to beat them next.
 
Sinking or swimming for England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

With 11 minutes of injury time left on the clock, coach Tuchel now also takes captain Kane to the side.

15 goal attempts against 5 for England and 65% ball possession: the Mexicans blow England away in the final phase but scoring not yet .
 
See they scrape through and now the UK media will be telling us how great is Kane and this is the year. 3-2 against a very unlucky Mexico. Norway and Haaland will be licking their lips to get to England and Pickford.

Yeah well, people have short memories. In 10 years they will say England was heroic, and won deservedly.

Next game will be interesting.

I watched the game here in a sport bar in Bali, full Aussies, but when England won it was mayhem.
Mexico played very rough...
I'll be there again tomorrow morning to watch Belgium vs US.
Now I need a little nap...Jack Daniels at 09:00 am is rough when you're 73 !
 
Sleep well. Drink a large glass of water and take two paracetamol 💊


Some side news;

One of the worst performing teams must have been Tunisia 🇹🇳 . They fired their coaches during the championship. Go make things even worse now 8 players were tested positive for clenbuterol which is a forbidden substance.

The cause? Perhaps the meat they ate in their hotel in Mexico. In some countries, such as Mexico, clenbuterol is used as a growth hormone in cows.



The entire Mexican 🇲🇽 selection had received very expensive Rolex watches as a gift after their victory against Ecuador in the previous round.

American YouTuber SteveWillDoIt was in a generous mood -the watches cost no less than one million dollars- since he had bet two million dollars on a Mexican victory. So in return he wanted to express his gratitude.

The Mexican football association now ordered them to return those watches. They are afraid that they will break the rules on gambling, because it could be looked at as bribery. The selection agreed.
 
Currently USA 🇺🇸 1 and Belgium 🇧🇪 3

And the 1 was in fact an own goal.

It’s getting painfully obvious that the US defense (including the goal keeper) is rather weak. Losing duels, making blunders, no good coverage, ….
Now Lukaku and Doku will join the game so the pressure could even be higher.

The Americans are kind of lucky the referee seems to be rather intimidated by the audience (or Infantino watching) and stops the game at every little debatable offence.

The whole saga about FIFA not following their own regulations and interfering with the red card consequences, has not ended yet btw.
 
It was kind of funny how the Belgians celebrated the 4th goal by imitating Trumps dancing on YMCA.
 
Just back home...
Hell, from 08:00 am till 14:30 in da bar with my favourite waitress...
About half a century younger than me 😁😁 ...but it was good fun !
 
South American teams always have had the image of being tough; you can see how aggressively Colombia, Equador and Argentina played in this tournament. Brazil is an exception. The worst of the worst always has been the team of Uruguay, it gave them the nickname of butchers. But Chile and Paraguay come close.

We can’t complain about the fans; the atmosphere in the stadiums is very relaxed and not violent at all. Obviously I’m not taking about cities as Amsterdam, Brussels and Paris where they are many riots with Moroccan youth after every game. But can you call them fans? They would seize any opportunity to create havoc.
 
France vs Moroco tmrw 04:00 am.
That will not be an easy one...the Moroco team is good.
Early start for me 😅😅😅...but same "environment" as the Belgium game, so even if we loose, I have a shoulder to cry on ! 🤣🤣🤣
 
My prediction hope. France beat Norway in the final.
3-1
Bappy and Hailey to get 1 each. Bappy to end up with the shoe thing
