    The Squires thread

    Don't know if he's doing one every day, but YES

    (Used Ray de Galles' comedy bra joke there, he does still care about us)

    I enjoyed Eat Pray Shove too

    The Messi pic where he's carrying a goat is my Big Dave's Gusset t-shirt/mug request

      I have to disagree about the joke about USA fans...I haven't seen any USA fan complaining that we should be there while Saudi Arabia shouldn't. I have seen, however, a few Italy fans making the "who would you rather see and who would have a better chance of winning the World Cup--Italy, or [insert undeserving Asian or African team]?" argument.

      John Bolton was a scary addition to the Squires canon.

        Yeah, I post on a normie board with loads of once-every-four-years soccer fans and nobody has said a peep about it yet. Everybody knows the US did awfully, people are still really mad at the team.

            Grant Wahl tweeted this yesterday, I suspect that's where BDG got it from.

                Love the Trainspotting reference. Proper dimpled pint glass!

                  Fabregas's appearance puzzled me for a short while but is a lovely touch.

                      I was hoping it was a Cramps tribute but no.

                      Ray Lewington?

                        Fucking hell. Every panel is gold.

                        C'mon Bored. It's a gag about Roy and Ray enjoying the bateau mouche instead of watching Iceland before a certain game a couple of years ago.

                            I take it everyone gets the 15,000 Mels reference?

                              I got the 15,000 Mels reference, and I live in Argentina.

                              I was quite surprised Pavón was only one Mel tall, though. He doesn't look particularly small in the Argentine league, but then I've not seen him play in the flesh.

                              I am not sure I get Ray's reference to Fàbregas, though. Is that him being fouled/not fouled in the final frame? If it's from Portugal v Spain I can't remember that incident.

                                A lot of complaints that Sweden were in and they were not. But once we beat South Korea I think it shut them up.

                                  He's punditting on BBC and wears shirts with epaulettes that make him look like a pilot or security guard. He's the "ferry captain" in the "Argentina earning a draw with the mighty Iceland" panel.

                                      Terry tweeted that he muted the telly during a game where Vicki Sparks was commentating.

                                            Southgate's face is a delight there. Should I recognise the detective?

                                                Her jumper suggests Sarah Lund from The Killing, though I assumed her to be more of a sort of composite Nordic Noir protagonist with a chunk of Saga from The Bridge thrown in, etc.

                                                  Ah, OK, I wondered if it was meant to be a football related person. I've never seen any Scandi noir.
