[Paul Anthony]

Already as many penalties as in the whole of the last World Cup, 13. Should be more than that already.

Is it just me or did that Tunisian player just throw up massively on the pitch before kick off??

Edit: Just rewound it and yes, yes he did

 

[xcraigx]

I don't think I've ever seen such pervy camera people!

 

[Paul Anthony]

Belgium taking their chances, making it easier than we did.

 

[Covstu]

They look excellent, be a very tough game against them next week

 

[Paul Anthony]

See us struggling against them. Defence will have to be switched on all game. Have to be more clinical too.

 

[xcraigx]

Still a long way to go but the group winners could potentially face Brazil or Germany in the Fwd, Mexico or Switzerland for those who finish second. Of course this will all be academic after Panama give us a hiding tomorrow.

 

[Paul Anthony]

Had to be a fifth. Outrageous miss!

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Batshuyai could have been joint top scorer for the golden boot in the last 15 mins of the game! Again - refs not booking anyone for anything except dissent. Really nasty stamp on Witsel's ankle.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

We will almost certainly have to beat Belgium now to finish top (re goals scored) and as everybody seems to think finishing runners up is best, I'll take an entertaining 3-3 draw with the Belgians after tanking Panama.

What are we tanking Panama for? Their hats or their canal?

Penalty number 14.

 

[Otis]

Slim Panatellas?

He's my favourite gringo.

Is it me or should the Korea keeper have been booked there? Took an age for that to be taken. And he looks a berk because he didn't save it. Might as well have just got on with it.

Just about every goalie should have been booked for delaying the PK
He took the biscuit though .
I'd go further and send one off, it would have been him.
A booking alone really wouldn't stop them unless it was say for a second penalty.
Send one off I say, put a stop to it!!

Also, there needs to be a few bookings for diving.

Lukaku our next week. Rumour that Mertens and Hazard are going to be rested. Maybe they want to finish second too.

 

[vow]

Defo foul in the build up to Mexico's 2nd goal, I thought VAR was to look at that sort of thing?

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

South Korea are so shit.

The Papers !
Were SISU in them?

 

[Paul Anthony]

Blimey, where did that come from?

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

I'm getting sick of these results. Sweepstake prediction at work and so many results I was winning on have been fucked in injury time.

FUCK OFF SON!

Dion Dublin says he fears for Germany if the wrong Germany turn up.







Surely the only wrong Germany are this lot....

 

[Paul Anthony]

Germany are surely going to win aren't they?

 

[Otis]

History would tell you it is far from certain.

Just hard to believe Germany could play so poorly twice. Then again, this world cup has had it's fair share of surprises.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Terrible pull back by the Germans there. Completed ignored

 

[Paul Anthony]

Germany nearly caught out!

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

And another!!! Definite pen and red card

 

[Otis]

Why didn't the ref even think to go to the VAR?

 

[Johnnythespider]

VAR has to pick things like that up or it's a joke

 

[Paul Anthony]

VAR looking redundant again.

 

[I_Saw_Shaw_Score]

VAR looking redundant again.

Yep VAR is good for the game.....
What is the point it’s a penalty whys it not been overruled!?
