  • Asterisks baby!
Bit of a balancing act, sure, but how many players do we want to see in the World Cup?

This is a bit different than all the shite warm up friendly bag-o-shite games we usually see and my usual view is balanced with the fact that the lads would want to be seen on the world stage.

Normally I'd be very much in the 'None!' camp. But you can't be can you? In the World Cup? Where legend status is achieved and lauded over the years.

Bit conflcted, but I don't think that even for Liverpool I could begrudge any player this.

They both went in high, that's factually correct, both tried to play the ball at height.  Doku with his foot, Mac Allister with his chest.

'None'

'Yeah but they'll want to'

'Yeah but Qatar'

'Yeah but Man City'

'Yeah but you shouldn't watch it anyway'

'Yeah but do you eat corn flakes?'

'Yeah but that's not the same'

'Yeah but if you eat corn flakes you can't complain about people being beheaded in Qatar'

'Yeah but England fans lobbed chairs at corn flakes'

'Yeah but I'm not English anyway I'm Scouse'

'Yeah but that's still in England'

'Yeah but the national anthem, fuck Southgate'

Good thread Andy.
If he's being asked to head the ball too frequently - which isn't exactly his specialty - it could affect his ear and cause an infection. Especially if the ball hits him on the ear directly.

  • Nemo me impune lacessit.

Just Robbo.

Pity it is being played where it is. I rather like watching the World Cup nations i know very little about and getting to know the players etc.

1974, 1978 and 1994 were probably my favourite tournaments.

There`s a good chance i give this one a miss.

World Cup in Qatar is a fucking disgrace.

Give our lads a rest during the hard season we have ahead.

Given my country got out-bribed by the eventual hosts and isn't going to qualify, none of them.

I only ever watch international matches if one of ours is playing. I’m not anti internationals as such and appreciate the players will have personal ambitions to appear, but I don’t want to support this World Cup at all. No LFC players, no reason to watch.
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain

There will be though.

Sadio, Virg, Allison, Bobby, Fab, Trent, Hendo, Robbo, Diogo and potentially a few more are likely to play a part (with a few of them captaining their countries).

Yeah, and that’s going to be tough to either watch  …. or to not watch :-\
