Looks like French fans are the new English fans. >.>
Vergil's Faceclaim Archive; For All Your Character Model Seeking Needs!


Men in general judge more by the sense of sight than by that of touch, because everyone can see but few can test by feeling. Everyone sees what you seem to be, few know what you really are; and those few do not dare take a stand against the general opinion. Therefore it is unnecessary to have all the qualities I have enumerated, but it is very necessary to appear to have them. And I shall dare to say this also, that to have them and always observe them is injurious, and that to appear to have them is useful; to appear merciful, faithful, humane, religious, upright, and be so, but with a mind so framed that should you require not to be so, you may be able and know how to change to the opposite.

Strange, we used to riot when we lost. I have noticed before in foreign reports that it tends to be the winning team's fans on the rampage.

So they are expecting to sell 10M pints during the match. That's a lot of beer.

I think if England wins the final, 15 July might become a national holiday.

That's fine, they expect 30M to watch the game. At only 1/3 of a pint each everyone will be perfectly sober and well behaved.

A 7 year old after a 1/3rd of a pint is a right nightmare.

Depends on what extra ingredients you add to it.

...that sounded less creepy in my head. >.>

Why play Sterling? He's about as much use as a chocolate teapot, give him a 100ft goal and he'd still wide it  >:(

Third straight match that goes to extra time for Croatia. Gotta give it to them, they've got some lungs on them.

Welp, no matter who wins in the final, it looks like all 15 of us were wrong.  :P

It shouldn't have been.

Congratulations to Croatia and to all of the England boys. You were a fucking blast!

Tough game. Gotta give it to the Croatians. Playing three extra time games in a row and advancing to the final... Modric has got to be exhausted.

I also like that there was minimal playing for time on either side. Both teams went at it the whole game. It was down to the details.

Sorry Nico. :(

Tough luck, Nico.

I think the early goal was England’s undoing. They eased their offense, and that gave Croatia all they needed to score their comeback.

Still, this is all unexpected, and I wonder what the final will be like now.

And England are out of the World Cup ☕️ again *sighs* Maybe we will win the 2022 World Cup. 🏆

Oh, it's all good!

They were fantastic and they got really far, for so many young players. Gotta honour that.

They'll be back. (Speaking as a long term fan of England, my second team after, of course, the United States.)

But they're not out of the World Cup. There's still the third place match on Saturday, a rematch against Belgium.

According to a strange nutjob theory now making the rounds on social media, the fault for England losing lies with...Mick Jagger. There's a superstition that whenever Sir Mick watches a football game live in person, the team he supports will lose.  He simply brings bad luck. :D

Jagger watched the infamous 7-1 defeat of Brazil vs Germany at the 2014 World Cup, and he supported Brazil - has a Brazilian godson.
He watched the US being beaten by Ghana in 2010, together with Bill Clinton. Both men cheered the US on, of course, but the American team lost.
And last night he was in Moscow...the story goes on.   :P

Glad I took France to win it all even though everyone I knew took England. About to cash in!

Don't count those chickens before they hatch. Croatia has pulled one hell of an upset, so who knows? Croatia could well be the next champions.
And I kinda hope they are, since if France wins, they're gonna be insufferable for the next four years :P
