I’m enjoying myself tonight and getting my jokes off because this game still isn’t close to Switzerland-Ukraine (2006 World Cup). That is still the most boring professional match of all time. If you go on YouTube you won’t find highlights for that match. Only footage. - ThreadSky

You know what happens when two teams that defend in a deep block and don't want to go forward meet each other? We get Paraguay-Japan at the 2010 World Cup

I’m really sad that the Guardian’s minute-by-minute of that game vanished in a server migration, because from memory it is a classic of the genre. Possibly the only good thing to come out of that accursed match, so it makes sense it fell down a black hole.

It disappeared like tears in rain 😭

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Swiss footballers miss three penalties in a row. I watched chances not being created under bright lights in Cologne. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.

England Vs Algeria 2010 was pretty dull If I remember correctly

okwonga.bsky.social•2 days ago

You are unlucky to remember it.

Nowhere near that all-time classic!

okwonga.bsky.social•2 days ago

Not close!!

Finished Off with an abysmal penalty shootout.

I’d had oral surgery earlier in the day and was high on painkillers during that match. My relationship to reality was tenuous and I still knew it was the most boring thing I’d ever watched.

Idk, that Slovenia vs England match at the Euros last year was abysmal

England Algeria WC 2010. I don’t remember watching a worse game.

I remember watching MOTD once and they didn't show the highlights for the first half of one game because it was that bad, can't remember who it was but I suspect Wolves were involved for some reason...

The most boring I have seen was an inexplicable mid-season friendly between Motherwell and IFK Gothenburg. I've just checked and it's *still* nil-nil.

Please watch Burnley v Leeds from February. That was biblical.

In fact, please don’t.

marcyeboah.bsky.social•2 days ago

This has been so bad its been good to watch, its Sunday league stuff

carpettus.bsky.social•2 days ago

Commentators cannot make this sound interesting. It’s the natural end state for corporate football… I hope it peters out to a yawn

England vs Algeria in 2010 was the only game I've ever bet on. I considered the dearth of action a sign that I shouldn't gamble.

okwonga.bsky.social•2 days ago

England Ecuador 😂😂😭😭😭😩🫣

ipadmcquack.bsky.social•2 days ago

There was one goal. That Algeria match is the worst game of football I have ever witnessed.

darrenkilbride.bsky.social•2 days ago

nothing beats England v Egypt 1990 WC, imo

alraven.bsky.social•2 days ago

Lmao as a Swiss kid this was my first ever world cup, let me tell you this prepared me for year after year of boredom watching the Swiss national team (until the last euros tbh)

alexmircea.bsky.social•2 days ago

I wish my team was as good as Switzerland

Btw Switzerland - France 2021 is my match of the century

alraven.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yeah recently they've been better

This has still to reach the European low of the 1986 Steaua Bucharest-Barcelona Big Cup final. Still time!
