It has been such a mess these last past 2 years. I was surprised we maintained possession as well as we did that game. But our biggest failure was not scoring on Poland when we had the chance. But alas the 2 better teams proceeded.

that's such a dumb take, lol. we didn't lose against japan because the players were too distracted thinking about dead migrant slave workers or womens rights in qatar - we lost because we played without a striker and with a shitty defence, and because flick subbed off our best players, while japan made positive changes and, unlike germany, converted their chances.

what you lot conveniently "forget" is that we also went out in group stage in 2018 - before the far right successfully rebranded basic human compassion to "wokeness", in order to put a negative spin on it.
was argentina's loss to saudi arabia, an even bigger upset also caused by "wokeness"? oh right, they don't give a shit and still lost...

simple truth is: it's football. shit happens. mistakes are made.


let's be real here. the people so eager to blame "wokeness" for our lack of success are the same type of people that suggest france's national team is "team africa", the same kind of people that posted certain kinds of messages about saka and rashford after their lost final, the same kind of people that wouldn't want boateng as their neighbour... it's but a dog whistle...

Oddschecker WC winner odds as of 2/11
Brazil 12/5
Argentina 5/1
France 11/2
Spain 31/5
England 19/2
Portugal 14/1
Netherlands 22/1

First off, you didn't learn fractions in school?

And second it's offside because it goes from the part of the body a player can score with, in that case, it's the edge of the shirt near the shoulder, since you're allowed to shoulder a ball in like balotelli

In the better part of the continent we write 1 in something
So france winning the title 1:5 for example

Netherlands 22/1 = 22%?
Brazil 12/5 = ~ 2,4%? 10x lesser than netherlands?

Well that's the same just backwards.

What in the hell.

The number on the left is what you get back from staking the number on the right.

So 12/5 is 3.4 in odds you'd understand.

I don't think it's backwards because in our calculation 1 is constant so it's very easy to get the full picture at first glimps

like
France 1:5
Argentina 1:12
Portugal 1:14
Neterhlands 1:22
Brazil 1:6

So on.
