Swarley Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 (edited) Apologies if already mentioned but, why does every tournament always need to have a "Group of Death"? Apparently Australia are in the Group of Death for the forthcoming Women's World Cup ignoring the fact that Nigeria and Ireland are pish and only Canada will provide them with a challenge.

Most tournaments do usually have one tbf but,yes,this just seems to be the media saying it to try to make it so 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raidernation Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 I think there's maybe only been one literal "Group. Of. Death" and that was the one Columbia were in in WC94 in America? -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClydeTon Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 People - particularly in England - that say a club is "too small" for the Premier League, almost always judging them on stadium size. Luton and Bournemouth get it the most, but it's like, what do you want them to do? Build a 30,000 seater like Coventry's and hope that another 18,000 supporters magically appear? A Club's ground should be as big as the club needs, not what the league wants. Case Study: Livingston, Hamilton, Inverness CT, Falk*rk, Coventry, MK Dons. In fact, no: Anyone who judges a club by their stadium capacity, just in general. F**k them. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want white elephant stadiums Darlington Arena is the most extreme example in England I can think of.

It is even worse when they try and embellish it, like '... who plays for the shagging [Club Name Here]' or something. You will then get folk sharing it on social media with multiple '' emojis and some idiot in the replies earnestly asking if this means that it is a confirmed signing. Lifted from the replies on our official Twitter. A slight variation to the theme in that the signing is now actually confirmed, but just absolutely brutal stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Mbappe officially for sale likely means we'll get a raft of hilarious tweets from clubs, and fans of clubs, who can barely pay 6 figure yearly salaries, claiming they've signed him. I'm getting old. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Connolly Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 Technically this is something I like about football, although it stems from something I hate. Copenhagen have banned signs asking for players' shirts from their ground, and from their section at away games https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/66330290 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrewDon Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 Another online one, but "HMS Piss the League". Seems to be mostly an English thing, but I have spotted it in a few Scottish clubs' replies to new signing announcement or pre-season goals/results. Absolutely brutal stuff. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
