Quote from: Baron von Schtinkenbutt on July 15, 2026, 03:34:33 PMIs ESPN full of shit, or have England and Argentina really not played each other since November of 2005?  And this is only the fifth meeting since they beat Argentina on the way to the World Cup in 1966?
Seems believable. Off the top of my head - 86, 98, 2002. Not many friendlies but I don't think England plays many friendlies with American teams anyway - mainly Europeans and African teams (I assume for timezone reasons of where their competitive qualification matches are).

On the other hand Scotland have qualified for the World Cup 8 times, never got past the group stages and played Brazil five times :( :ph34r:

In several surveys, the overwhelming first choice for what makes Canada unique is multiculturalism. This, in a world collapsing into stupid, impoverishing hatreds, is the distinctly Canadian national project.

You fuckers. I degraded myself by cheering for you and you still failed me.

I think it's 50-50 to still end in regulation time.  I don't see why Argentina would let up now, it's not like England is capable of counter-attack.

I don't know what the fuck the English were doing, why did they invite the Argies in?

Always happens. Can't soak up pressure but always sit back and invite it :bleeding:

Well. This removes the dillema of how I watch the awkwardly timed final at least :/
But damn England. Why did you give up.
