Irankunda and Lightning

Banter, sport and discussion of guaranteed future economic failure.

Italy won in 2006 — nobody remembers the tournament as a robbery.

Spain won in 2010 — nobody remembers the tournament as a robbery.

Germany won in 2014 — nobody remembers the tournament as a robbery.

France won in 2018 — nobody remembers the tournament as a robbery.

But mention Argentina’s 2022 title and the conversation immediately turns to penalties, refereeing and FIFA’s influence.

That alone tells you how differently that World Cup is remembered.

And now, in this tournament, the same team has somehow created even more questions than answers.

Whatever they win, the asterisk will follow them.

@thefrugalexpat1 @Tweeteringonthe @Adrian_Arciuli @FIFAWorldCup I also lived in America mate, MCG is shit to watch any version of football that isn't Australian Rules. US football stadiums are purpose built for rectangular sports.

@Money23Green I see some things just don’t change. lol. You was on sucka shit four years ago when you swung on Jordan Poole and you on sucka shit now. I usually don’t engage but since you went so far left to get my attention here it is!!!

If you think your big 32 year old, 3 or 4 rings at the time having ass swinging on a 23 year old Jordan Poole at the time is the same then you are even more delusional that I thought.

First of all Bam is 28. Tyler is 26. Neither one of them got it all figured out yet. Maybe I was giving you too much credit at the time cause I thought you did so that’s why I commented. 2nd, anyone who knows bam knows he’s strong as baby bear. If he would’ve unloaded on Tyler 100% it’s over. You fired off on that young boy like it was a club punch and you never met him before in your life. 3rd yeah I did go at Jimmy. You damn right. The shit you pull in golden state and that shit he pulled in Chicago talking crazy to Hoiberg and disrespecting teammates in practice in Minnesota ain’t gon fly in the 305. So yeah. I checked his ass.

Call it heat culture or what ever you want but before I let one player disrespect Spo in front of the squad, cut his legs out and disrupt what 15 other guys tryin to get accomplished, I’ll kick his ass. I owe that to ZO and Tim and Glen and the rest of my OGs.

Ion really vibe you and I think you know that so unless it’s me on prime talking hoops I won’t mention you at all. You brought me into this and I am retired and out the way. I suggest you keep it pushing cause I ain’t giving out no more hall passes bra!

@thefrugalexpat1 @Tweeteringonthe @Adrian_Arciuli @FIFAWorldCup You need an uber to the game from you seat for any field that's rectangular.

[Irankunda and Lightning @jd11zz]

@PolymarketHoops Jimmy and Herro are bitches

[Irankunda and Lightning @jd11zz]

Galvin also stinks

[Irankunda and Lightning @jd11zz]

Kiraz stinks

[Irankunda and Lightning @jd11zz]

@SliccMick Weird a guy who has longevity, leadership, can defend 1-5 and is rarely injured was chosen...

[Irankunda and Lightning @jd11zz]

@LachlanJeffery NRL have confirmed he touched it mate

[Irankunda and Lightning @jd11zz]

@scribe_it I don't know about clear penalty mate

[Irankunda and Lightning @jd11zz]

@USMNT Tough day at the office

[Irankunda and Lightning @jd11zz]

Eat a dick America

[Irankunda and Lightning @jd11zz]

@JuanPapaD1 @RealMarkLatham We knew what we were getting is the worst part.

[Irankunda and Lightning @jd11zz]

@JuanPapaD1 Thought luc looked unreal when he came on

[Irankunda and Lightning @jd11zz]

@AnthColangelo Well done Popa?

[Irankunda and Lightning @jd11zz]

@TheRealALM A decent manager away from being a genuine threat in knock-out stages moving forward with this squad

[Irankunda and Lightning @jd11zz]

@JuanPapaD1 Could've easily had suli sit and if he didn't play put him into nsw cup today. Young is not a head coach, or a competent defence coach for that matter. Truly a step backwards in recruitment to hire him given the incoming arsenal.

@JordanNotMJ23 @GxldeNahuelpan @FrankWCE1992 @witchwitchh @rubn_chtw @TheRealALM We're not scared of spiders unlike you, you weak fuck haha.

Exceptional reaction to the Socceroos’ World Cup exit via Mark Milligan on SBS.

Big-picture critique of Aussie football and what we want to stand for.

"When are we as a nation and federation, decide who we are? When we qualify, is that just always going to be enough?”
