    Yeah, don't get me wrong, FIFA are very culpable here, but as you say, that ref last night was weak. There have been much stronger refs in the competition.

    Do you want to see if I can arrange for you to do the lap of honour with the players after the final when we've won the whole thing?

    Yeah, same here. If I ever see anyone in London wearing one I feel like going up to them and giving them a hug, even if in real life they might be a mass murdering, rapist, racist, homophobe.

    I have a theory on homeless people you see in town centres. They are always asking for money rather than food and quite often you will see uneaten food sitting next to them , still in its wrapper, and they also can be a bit miffed when they ask for money and you go off to Gregg's and you come...

    Yeah, texture isn't great, but I like the flavour. People are veggies for different reasons. I love the taste of meat and I do especially miss having bacon, but can't see me ever going back.

    Thought the pair were interchangeable and pretty much the same thing anyway. I think originally, man flu was invented as a masculine backlash for women having periods.

    Yeah, but I just think they wanted to emphasise Coventry being displayed on every screen in the world. Always makes me smile when I see a Cov flag anywhere, be it Glastonbury, the World Cup or the cricket. Must be a slow newsday too, mind.

    Sperm quality improved. Why men might want to eat more nuts

    Yeah, loved that. Ha!! When they get a job in the mailroom. Laughing so much at watching that all over again.

    I see CJ has got his mug in the Telegraph. Hard to miss his flag last night. Just behind the goal.

    Ah, but as I said before, for me is was just a question of not wanting to see England lose and always rooting for a win. It's inherent in me. And, we did very nearly blow it last night. First half of extra time it was all Colombia and I feared the worst. Don't know what Southgate said to them...

    You telling me that if the ref had given Falcao a dressing down (no card) he would have been castigated after the game? Just for pulling him to one side and telling him to cool things down? Why have other refs done it then at the World Cup? I have seen refs go and talk to both sets of players...

    I am reading report after report of the ref losing control of the players last night. Why is that not happening in every match? It has happened on a few occasionsin the tournament, but clearly the ref lost control last night. You can't just put that down to FIFA. The ref last night was weak...

    And yes, if he had clamped down on dissent he definitely would have sent more off. You are not allowed to push and jostle the ref.

    Oddly? Why oddly? I am sure other posters would confirm. If I have time I will look back, because I even mentioned it on here somewhere during the game in question. Yes, the guy who headbutted Henderson should have been sent off. The ref didn't even see it. Had he done he may well have sent...

    Agree with that, BUT, I have seen refs in this competition have control, so it is not just all about FIFA. If other refs had followed the example of the very good refs it would eradicate most of the problem anyway. There HAVE been refs in this tournament that have had control. Why have...

    Couple of things made me a proud Englishman last night and one of them was Harry MaGuire's reaction when he went down in the area. He immediately got up and signalled to the ref 'no pen.' Just wondering if we would ever see that from the French, or the Germans, or the Spanish, or any other the...

    He could and I have seen at least two refs do it in this competition and therefore gain the respect of the players. Can't remember exactly which games unfortunately, but one especially was taking no nonsense and the players reacted accordingly and he had full control all match.

    Just realised, that somehow comes across as a threat doesn't it.
