I watched the first half again you'd be mad to think that Colombia didn't delve into any tactics to get a rise out of the players. Not saying g that England were whiter than white, but they were saints compared to people like Cuadrado etc

oh no, that’s not what i said. or at least what i meant to say. sorry if that was confusing.

i thought you originally had said england made it harder for themselves.

what i tried to argue back was that it was colombia that made it harder for england.

yes colombia sucked, but they stayed in the fight, and at some point late in the game gained the upper hand, finally lost on penalties. certainly wasn’t a cakewalk for you, and was never going to be one.

and congrats on winning! i thought it was well deserved.

also—i completely agree colombia used negative tactics! but i didn’t think they were despicable villains, or that they’re a people whose opinions don’t count. that’s where i draw the line.

im not totally against national bias by the way. what would be the point of a world cup without that? i enjoy my own biases in this contest. i just think there’s a danger to believing one’s own bullshit past a certain point.

btw, if the colombians think they lost due to the ref, they’re fucking deluded. i do understand it’s a coping mechanism though. in the (four?) stages of grief, denial comes first. this is why i was laughing at the telemundo guys. complete denial. absolute grief. i did feel bad for pékerman—-and yet, i can laugh at james.
