Che Guevara is going to Wemberley?

Where was the VAR there?

Uruguay player deliberately pulled the Russkie player out of the wall.

Shhhh !!
They might look at Aahley Young holding the defender when Stones scored.

Ashley Young can't even hold a door open.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Dzyuba is a threat if you get the ball into him. Had is shirt pulled from the corner too.

Naive is playing for a certain result other than a win in expectation of a certain outcome

By the time England play their final group game on Thursday, six of the eight groups will already have been completed. Twelve teams will already be in place in their half of the draw.

This could be an advantage to England because whilst we wouldn’t know for certain who we’re playing in the last sixteen, we might be able to see that one half of the draw would offer an easier route beyond the last sixteen.

I’m saying that if that advantage materialises and only if, we should make the most of it. it's a decision to be made Wednesday evening.

You’re saying ignore it, win regardless and possibly accept a much tougher route.

Baffling in my opinion, but hey.

The Russians won't be happy and cheering tonight!

 

[Nick]

Nearly a 3rd!

 

[Otis]

Nearly a 3rd!

Good! Got a bet on over 5.5 goals.

 

[Paul Anthony]

Not going at all well this for Russia.

 

[Nick]

Red Card for Russia, think he got booked twice within minutes.

 

[wingy]

Harsh I thought! !

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Feel a bit sorry for the Russian fans today - at least it doesn't matter much in the big scheme of things - although they would have had a small chance against Portugal - but none against Spain.

If Spain qualify.

Stranger things have happened.

Shouldn't have been diving in like that on a booking.

Dixon doing his worst Lawrenson impression

Oddly enough our group is the last of the 8 groups to play so we would know who has finished where in group H.

Agh seen the slowmo now
Agree.

 

[vow]

The 45 yr old Egyptian keeper made a great penalty save.

 

[wingy]

Have the Russians been on the lash for 2-3 days?

 

[Otis]

Thin crowd there?

Just wondering obviously because Russia are playing at the exact same time.

 

[Paul Anthony]

Russia with a great assist for Uruguay who should be at least 3 up.

 

[wingy]

The foul Count in this game is through the roof .

Didn't notice toby fayre, just switched over to see the save.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

If Spain qualify.

Stranger things have happened.

Only stranger thing is Rio Ferdinand trying to pronounce Sex Fabregas properly.

 

[Deleted member 5849]

Uruguay getting into their stride, Russia showing just how poor the other two teams in the group have been.

You'd fancy getting Russia in the knockout stages, home advantage or not.

Really? Even after Salisbury?

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Ref bottled Pique challenge. Could easily have been sent off.

 

[Deleted member 5849]

Ronaldo v this keeper could get messy.

 

[Otis]

Yup. Definitely.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Wtf was Ramos doing. Half asleep!

 

[Liquid Gold]

People say England are suspect at the back, there would be uproar if we conceded a goal like Spain just did.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Brilliant lequaliser from Spain

 

[Deleted member 5849]

Brilliant lequaliser from Spain

Can't help but feel I've picked the wrong game!

Waste of time me turning over though, then Iran v Portugal would hot up.

 

[Otis]

Morocco should have had another then.
