VAR & officials have ruined the game"...when Hibernian won the Scottish Cup final and that celebration, Sunshine on Leith? I don’t think there’s a better football celebration ever in the game.”

What a cocky bastard is KANE!!! That was superb. Places the ball at speed in the same part of the net."...when Hibernian won the Scottish Cup final and that celebration, Sunshine on Leith? I don’t think there’s a better football celebration ever in the game.”

Well....... the truest prediction is, not the high score......, but the fact that Panama are complete shit."...when Hibernian won the Scottish Cup final and that celebration, Sunshine on Leith? I don’t think there’s a better football celebration ever in the game.”

For what it's worth... there one reason why I'm okay with the 48 team World Cup.
Because of the infrastructure needed, it's going to force FIFA to have to lean towards countries that already have at least part of that infrastructure in place. The major reason why the USA w/ Canada and Mexico won the 2026 bid is because Morocco simply couldn't promise that they'd have the requirements FIFA demanded in terms of stadiums and lodging in place. They are trading the grift they were able to pull on other countries for a larger market share and TV revenue.
And I'm... okay with that considering the alternatives.

Meh, the first few games of World Cup play can be a rough watch already. You have plenty of garbage matchups as it is. A few more in the group stages aren't going to really matter.
Now, if they extend the knockout rounds to 32 teams that could lead to some ugly knockout round games, which wouldn't be a good look.
