Brazil might want The Ivory Coast to win this game, they have never beat Norway in four meetings although three games were friendlies.

Surely FIFA should step in and punish the Norwegian supporters for their " Row" celebrations. This glorifies the aggression of the Norsemen centuries ago. Some people may see this as a bit of fun but to those of us who are still traumatised by the invasions from Scandinavia its in poor taste.

You raise a good point there in terms of triggering sensitivities, Alan. Perhaps there's a case to go for reparations and a fully fledged apology to all the women they raped and the villages they pillaged. Absolutely disgusting behaviour.

We shall never forget!

You can say what you want about the Vikings but they did bring stability to the areas they conquered.

Alan, my maternal great grandfather was Scandinavian. Perhaps you would accept this as a sincere apology for all past events that has caused you so much trauma.

As its you Les, cheers. Danny Murphy the ref isn't pedantic. The ball has to be in the quadrant for a corner. It's called laws of the game

Les Callan 7 Posted 30/06/2026 at 19:17:21

Just said exactly that to my missus Alan. Murphy is a numpty.

I have to laugh at the arrogance of these players who believe they are so wonderful that pinching a couple of centimetres makes all the difference

I agree about Danny Murphy but I'd take him all day long over Lee Dixon. That chopper personifies boring. Open a dictionary for the definition of dull and there's a picture of Lee Dixon. Wow he's shite at co-commentating
