Sometimes I wonder if I watch a different match.

Think both of these teams are really good, Germany certainly a contender too thanks to Costa Rica.

They are playing Spain?

Different technology to PL on offsides.

This is just two good teams, absolutely no space anywhere in the middle.

That nutmeg from Davies in that position.

Don’t think many had Canada and Saudi Arabia as the two most exciting teams to watch in the tournament.

GTFI!

Deserved too, get in!

Even 3 points could be enough if they batter Costa Rica.

They were absolute garbage for the first 70 minutes against Germany. Germany probably second favourites to go through right now, funny group.

I really don’t understand why the odds of KSA beating Mexico are almost 5. KSA were lucky against Argentina but played well, then played really well against Poland but got unlucky. Mexico have done nothing impressive so far.

I see absolutely no reason why Argentina wouldn’t score against Poland, bus or no bus. KSA created loads against Poland.

How do Benfica and Porto do their thing year after year with South Americans? I saw that Benfica paid €12m for Enzo Fernandez this summer. Guaranteed profit of tens of millions already.

Saudi Arabia have been great in both games too.

I didn’t find it annoying, just shocked that team full of unknown players outside of Davies and David could play like that against one of the European powerhouses. Lack of thunderbastards too in the tournament so far, is the Iran winner still the only goal outside of the box?

Canada’s first half has been the most exciting thing about this tournament so far for me.

Lautaro is really good, I think the problem is they can’t get the ball there at all. Dybala has to come in soon to take some attention away from Messi.

He was amazing in Copa America before Atletico bought him.

Argentina pretty much have to win both remaining games, Poland win gives them a decent chance to still win the group.

What a match!

Saudis are relentless, lovely team to watch.

Lovely goal straight from a goalkick.

I'm not sure this really applies to England, the majority of this squad have been together for every international break for years and Southgate picks the same players all the time. For the majority of time they do look like a bunch of players hoyed together when going forward though.

It's hilarious that there are people who think Southgate deserves the job because he's such a nice guy. He did a nice job getting rid of the toxic atmosphere around the team but you really should have gone and hired a real coach after the Euros. It was the best chance ever to win something with the favourable draw and home field advantage and he bottled it. He's a tactical dinosaur who will replace Bellingham with Phillips or Hendo in the knockouts and/or change it to a back 5. He's so scared of losing that the margin of error gets too small, one set-piece goal or soft penalty against England and he has no idea how to turn it around. All he has is the plan A of keeping it tight and hope to nick it at some point. Can you imagine how the game would have looked if Southgate was the coach for USA and (the not that highly rated?) Berhalter for England? I really enjoy international football due to its purity but it's a shame how far it has fallen of club football regarding managers. Most of the big countries employ dinosaurs as the young exciting management talent just isn't interested or FA's are too scared to hire anyone without a big status. It should be exciting to get to watch France, England, Belgium, Portugal, Netherlands etc. with all that talent in their squads but so often it's just dull as everyone is playing not to lose. Seeing how Howe changed us from the ultimate dross to extremely enjoyable to watch so quickly just makes it worse.
