Germany are likable enough. No big divas or snide henchmen in the team, kind conduct after beating Brazil 7-1, no excuse-making after losing to Mexico... Argentina and Belgium seem quite unobjectionable. I'd not be sad if Portugal won the thing, Pepe notwithstanding.
England are OK, but Delle Alli as a World Cup winner is too much to stomach. Imagine all the shit he'll get away with when he's a world champion.
As for Fernando Hierro, finding anything about him on Google that is not about the World Cup is presently impossible, but I thought it was pretty well-known from his playing days that he has fascist leanings. It certainly was a point of discussion on OTF back in the day. Someone on Twitter apparently said that Hierro "makes Di Canio look like Neville Southall".

But I shouldn't fret about his becoming a world champion any time soon.

Originally posted by Jah Womble View PostOf course he's been a bit of a dick over the past couple of years, but what is it that you think he's 'got away with'? His conduct has (rightly) earned him yellow cards, red cards, a three-match ban and several warnings from his superiors. And thankfully he's toned things down in recent months.

Hummels is the biggest wanker in the squad, although he's only a bit of a wanker. See also: Reus and Draxler.

Originally posted by Бога Нет View PostHe still hasn’t got any of the red cards he’s deserved in domestic football, has he? He picked one up in the CL where his protected status as England poster boy isn’t valid.
If you think English referees are under some kind of instruction not to punish him, well, it's hard to know where to go with that, tbh.

I'll not say that it 'never' happens - after all, I can't prove that - but favourable treatment is more often a convenient narrative than it is a reality.
(I could be wrong, but I suspect that there's likely to be a frequent conflict of interest when these Premier Lge 'poster boys' line up on opposing sides the majority of weekends.)
