America are far better than us really, hope we can get into half time with the score still 1-2 and it may be different in the second half. Somehow.

Never thought I'd see the day, but fuck this American side. Arrogance is not confidence. COME ON ENGERLAND, COME ON!

I’m at work so I’m not watching but what have they done that’s so arrogant?

[Chris2K]

Ha, English people drink tea with their pinkies up. That's hilarious.

Recent examples: Stating they had the best team in the world. And the second best team in the world. They also sent staff to scout a hotel for the final, during an England training session at the hotel, which is probably just a coincidence, but they way they handled it reeked of arrogance. I guess the media outlets in each country are biased as well though.

The hotel thing seems like valuable fodder for a team that's not favored to win to use to fire themselves/their supporters up and not much else, honestly. Like, that's not saying that England aren't playing great and aren't in with a serious chance of winning if they keep playing that way in the second half, but that whole thing feels like media contrivance.

The hotel thing was dumb anyway cos it's Fifa who assigns the hotels, not the teams themselves.

[Krabby]

Yeah, seemed like a lot of smoke with no fire. I think Gogo has the measure of it - something to rally around

[GoGo Yubari]

HOT TAKE: This is a good game.

EDIT: ah, fuck, losing Lavelle is a huge blow. She's been great.

[Lineker]

Bloody VAR.

[GoGo Yubari]

Goddamn, that looked onside to me.

[Colly]

VA shite more like.

[Lineker]

Really nothing in it.

[FLiam]

VAR really is bollocks. 

Stick to goal-line technology, fuck the rest of it.

[Colly]

VA shite more like.

[FLiam]

You can’t give a penalty for that.

[Lineker]

I love VAR!

[FLiam]

Laughable. This system is causing even more controversy than before.
