OK, so how is that a handball nowadays?

He's sliding it out for a corner anyway, and can hardly chop off his arm on the way.

Lots of early corners for us. Can only go well.

Sterling should have tested the keeper then

Yes, but it's Sterling....

 

[Nick]

Boring so far

 

[Deleted member 5849]

If ever a game were a stereotype, this is it. Colombia looking slightly dangerous on the break, knock it about nicely. We have most of the game and are a threat from set pieces.

 

[Nick]

Pass completion of the front 4 must be awful

 

[Nick]

No end product at all going forward so far

 

[wingy]

Expect the worst lads
Refs a very wrong un

Sterling has threatened without delivering too many times already. I don't think it is his World Cup at all. He has had plenty of space & chance to set the tournament alight by now...but just doesn't seem to find it atm. He is good enough to - but it just isn't happening for him imo

Sterling trying to hard atm. Trying to force it rather than just play it simple.

 

[Nick]

No VAR for the headbut then?

 

[Nick]

How's that a yellow card? Off the ball headbutt?

 

[Paul Anthony]

How can that be anything other than a red card?

 

[Deleted member 5849]

There is.

What I don't get is why players do that, when they know it'll be seen.

Then again, if it's just a yellow, why not take one?!?

Not sure what they advised him happened.

Refs lost control already.

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Another VAR decision goes against us!

 

[Sky_Blue_Daz]

Should that of been a pen ?

Violent conduct in the box

 

[Deleted member 5849]

Surely it's either red or nothing!

tbh I'd accept nothing when they're not doing proper Glasgow kisses, but a yellow's surely wrong on all levels.

 

[Otis]

The cheating barstewards! Trying anything and everything to disrupt the game. Ref not strong enough.

 

[Johnnythespider]

Refs being played here. Red card and about 5 mins wasted to get a free kick taken

Bloke was stood less than 4 yards from it.

Colombia will play him.

Half the prob when his level is the Mickey Mouse MLS league every week.

No balls not in play. Can be a red but no pen.

 

[Sky_Blue_Daz]

I’ve enjoyed it so far

It's getting bitty and bad tempered now.

 

[Nick]

It's still boring, neither goalie tested. Will take somebody getting knocked out.

 

[I_Saw_Shaw_Score]

Plays into their hands, they’ll no how to act & gameplay more convincingly.

Maguire will just chokeslam one through the hoardings

That's what they want,South Americans way!!

 

[Nick]

Awful shooting so far.

Yeah, our main danger is always that we'll meet some team more streetwise than us.

At least if we win this, Sweden'll be a good old fashioned thud and blunder!

Henderson seemed to put his hand on his face even though it didn’t go near his face

Both teams are indulging in histrionics - refs have been lenient through the whole tournament

 

[Nick]

Alli is actually playing to get injured? Wonder if it will be Loftus Cheek coming on for him or more attacking

 

[sw88]

Cant see Ali coming back out for the second half

Can see this not ending with 22 players on the field
