Nah, it’s a decent squad for a smaller footballing nation. Just negatively set up and many key players getting older.

Terrible angle on the replays too, complete shitshow.

The main stand was pretty much empty on that replay.

I don't know, he seemed to indicate just no for penalty IMO. Didn't stop the play when the ball hit him earlier either, thought it was a rule that it's a drop ball every time.

Yeah, that confused me. Ref didn’t give a penalty though so not sure how the sequence went.

2x45 minutes with stopped clock would mean every old record would be worthless as games would be effectively 33% longer. 2x30 minutes with a stopped clock would result in a similar play time as it is right now.

Tunisia deserved a point, makes this group interesting too.

Fucking well done ref. Whoever it is in the VAR booth, he should be sent home.

Tunisia doing really well here, Denmark need to wake up.

Really impressive from KSA, they played good football. XG looks like a complete steal but thought they were pretty comfortable.

KSA playing good and entertaining football, refreshing to see from a minnow against Argentina.

Thought about this too but they have quite a few players that are missing due to their countries not qualifying or injury.

I believe they are even earlier when there are 4 games a day. Maybe 3am Denver time?

Think he's done really well, was tough with him but didn't burn any bridges. Ronaldo is just a massive cunt.

This was the game that made me 100% certain it's coached. Not a big fan but it works, FIFA really should change the rules and start stopping the clock.

Burn at LB allows Trippier to have pretty much a free role when we are in possession. Having Willock and Joelinton at left when we attack doesn't really need a roaring LB even if Burn does get forward at times.

I’m very happy that that the rule is stricter now, games shouldn’t be decided by who manages to hit oppositions arm in the box (like the Liverpool-Spurs CL final). Just need to be consistent with it.

Wood has done some good linking up, more than usually tbh.

Would hate the handball rule even more if that was given as a pen.

It absolutely is flat.

Why is the atmosphere so flat?

Leeds are really entertaining.

People are writing off players way too early like. Remember when Lisandro Martinez was the worst CB ever in the PL after two games? This is Paqueta's seventh start in the league.

Didn’t look quite as bad from that last replay.

No idea how that wasn’t disallowed, Lenglet just takes out Meslier without being anywhere near the ball.
