... this is awful.

 

Hesitation city.

Massive chance. Keeper had taken that step to his left. Anything on target would have probably gone in.

 

Kane definitely capable of better.

 

The lack of any creativity or even attempt of creativity is again concerning and disappointing.

 

 

 

The diving should start up soon.

You can tell Dele Ali is thinking of nothing else already.

Oh, they're bringing out the Sir Bobby stuff!

Good riddons to that cunt. Coutinho has been the classier act.

It's just an excuse for him to not even try.

 

Such a cunt.

It was straight from the school of Neymar from Mbappe. Try and get a reaction with a piece of skill, hoy yourself to the floor at the next contact.

 

Really sad.

 

Since you're half french does that piss you off?

 

Only one nationality takes over when it comes to football though

 

But yeah would annoy me greatly to see an England or Newcastle player do that.

Really sad.

Been wanting to go see a game in Dortmund as well.

 

that would epic.

The contact equals foul comment was more a general point on the subject of players acting like they have liberty to do anything they want once they have been touched.

 

But, aye, as I also said it can be a foul and a simulation. This concept needs to be officially recognised.

 

It goes perfectly with how the game seems to have evolved into contact equals foul.

 

We need to move away from that asap. Use video and VAR to punish players for "flopping". Even if they are also fouled. That's not contradictory at all.

 

It would be really easy to do, but there is no will from anyone and the overprotection of Neymar is proof. Has there been a single card in this competition for simulation? Yet I don't think there's ever been this much.

 

Mexico as a team have been one of the worst offenders, so not too sad to see them out. Neymar is cancer though.

 

Suarez had a good game yesterday, often making do with scraps in a difficult, solitary role.

 

For me, he's the second best player in the world, not Ronaldo.

 

Gets special credit for playing on after suffering such a severe head injury, as well.

He's never been right in the head.

Very annoying how the refs in this world cup just refuse to give any bookings for simulation. Even with the backing of VAR. Argentina getting a bit silly.

10.

 

The thing called football it goes the house!

Well, giddy up.

 

Very reminiscent of the 2005-07 shirt. The gold, those lines going into the collar...

Shirt is perfectly fine

 

As usual, the patch/no patch situation will have a big impact.

I saw that doing the rounds yesterday and obviously the answer to it is that they won the World Cup within that 8 years, so not really.

 

Yeah exactly. Weird post.

 

Just clickbait though obviously.

 

:thatAlanPartridgeGif:

The Germans never do well in Russia do they.

 

Very good

 

The last time the Germans crashed out in the group stages was 1938.

 

In 1939, Hitler invaded Poland.

 

Another one I saw doing the rounds was: Germany yet again much stronger in 14 than they were in 18.

 

 

Found this.. sorry fellas.. look at the shop name.

 

Yeap, Sports Indirect. Complete opposite of MA's tat emporium then!

The handball was a pen.

I'd say that was more of pen than the one actually given.

 

But neither were, really.

Clean as fuck that strike. Nice.

Should start giving out cards for frivolous appealing after the VAR review.

 

Going to get silly. Correct decision though this time.

 

Going to be a dive fest now.

That's not a pen like. Definitely in the 'it's turning into a non-contact sport!' category.

Plus the Nigerian actively launches himself into Mascherano at the end of the exchange to simulate a pull.
