No. Anita was not better than Yedlin defensively, offensively, or anywhichwayively. He was rubbish and he was slow.

Learned a new word today. Had to look up "taig". Had no idea what he was going on about. Can't imagine any context where I can put it to good use, Still I love a new word.

so basically var is a waste of time. get rid.

nice

Mexico fans at work are happy. They say they want revenge. Good luck with that.

So, it's like the world series of soccer?

Both Mexico goals.

Yes! Mexico score 1-1 now.

Terrific half. 1-1.

oh please, please, please

Just a rich man's Emmanuel Rivière.

Herrera was very good, I thought.

Nee idea, the creeps who watch rugby seem to enjoy the little bit of excitement they get from it. It's all a ploy to introduce further advertising. VAR decision sponsored by Mcdonalds. Armchair fan wankery. Will say it again, the game at the elite level should be as close to grassroots as reasonably possible. Yes, my only context is American football, which is a game so throughly made for television that virtual referees, instant replays and highlights, and plenty of commercial breaks all work together seamlessly. Armchair fan wankery indeed.

We'll have a tough time of it this summer then. That's the asking price for Cairney. Seeing what Everton paid for Pickford, was surprising, but it's the new reality. (Funny/sad thing for sunderland is that money won't go very far.)

How exactly does this technology make anything more interesting?

Then they should be made public. Exactly. If they are going to use it then the viewer and fans (in stadiums with a big screen) should get all the angles and also the discussion between the video ref and normal ref should be heard on the telly I'm gonna be sick. Why? If they're going to use it the thought process of the video refs needs to be heard I'd love to hear the conversation between Stroud and his assistants that resulted in the goal kick.

And if they ship to the US, they'll make ... at least one sale.

That's gorgeous.

Monk will have Boro up.

Cameron was immense. Yedlin much better as the game went on.

What a shame. That fake one from a few pages back was alright, but this is just awful. Not helped by the yellow in the sponsor's name. Needs more black.

Didn't do Anita any favors. I had the oppposite reaction of most on here. Didn't want to keep Anita,not bothered about Gouffran. The transfer fees not spent on a replacement utility/Cup specialist, will go towards a better player--one that'll keep Gouff on the bench.
