He's some boy though, Ancelotti!

He is some boy alright. How in under God did he ever end up at Everton?

Linesman shouldn't have flagged but Madrid players had stopped playing before the ball ended up in the net so who knows how it would have panned out.

The linesman flag carries no weight, players should only play until they hear the ref's whistle.
In any VAR the linesman's flag would be ignored.

Yeah you're right Madrid players did play to the whistle. Whistle went, they stopped playing and De Ligt finished it. I just think it's not the big injustice it's being made out to be.

Some squad of culture vultures in here... Must not listen to freaks like David Bowie, Marc Bolan , a tonne of 80s artists, acts etc...or maybe just maybe it's pure narrow mindedness

It's immaterial though, because the reason Madrid stopped was because the ref blew the whistle.

Yeah brutal call, overall though best team on the night won. Madrid are proper winners and always find a way.

It's a song that has grown on me. They are clearly very talented and it's nice to have something different. So I'm jumping on the bandwagon. Crown the Witch! 

Calling her "they" is getting very dull. She is obviously very talented and doesn't need any artificial promotion.

They or it for Non-binary?   Bambie doesn't use a gender to describe oneself.

It?

We send a freakshow to a competition that we should be boycotting anyway.

Freakshow?  does that mean drunken louts (allegedly) from Lurgan would not be regarded as a freak show in Armagh. How about a Catholic mass? is that normality or a freak show?
Bambie Thug is an artist, the elegant performance in the semi final was choreography perfected.
I haven't a notion about non-binary, BT's progress to the finals has brought much needed attention to this 'predicament'.

Give me a Catholic Mass over that Satanic Freakshow any day of the week and I haven't been to mass in ages.

Yeah you're right, Madrid players definitely stop and keeper doesnt even move. Most likely they don't score but we'll never know
