Spain are probably the favourites to win the whole thing now, but they just don’t understand what football is really about.
bit obvious from the spanish to just win easily – they know nothing of the true essence of football: pain and suffering. they think it’s about joy and excitement. but england understands

Pepe is the real GOAT.
Ronaldo (39, takes sports science to the Nth degree, lives every aspect of his life with the sole purpose of extending his career and being the best footballer he can be) being much more washed than Pepe (41, spent the last 25 years fighting people and being evil) is very funny
