VAR is redic. Never a handball. Germany Pen 2-2 Holland 3-2. Justice EDIT: Think VAR isn't being used for the qualifiers. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Holland 2-1

1-1 Frankie De Jong

Today's game is only there 3rd of the group and others have played 5 already tbf, and two of there 3 have been the two games vs Germany. Ah hadn’t realized that.

1-0 Germany Gnabry

Germany - Holland Euro qualifier. Had no idea Holland were doing so poorly in their group.

Eight international goal

Wor Krafthy on the bench for Sweeden today. They’re 4-0 up at HT. Schar starting for the Swiss in defense for the Swiss vs Ireland. 0-0 HT.

Glenn Whelan still starting for Ireland. Dear me.

We supported Owen. We believed in him. It wasn’t till he left that he got any criticism. It often looked like he didn’t care but no one wanted to believe that. But then he confirmed he didn’t care. He’s a fucking prick.

Some interesting stories on the new Stan Collymore podcast. G Nev goes in depth about his time in Valencia here. Really interesting stuff. Listening to Carragher's one right now. Really insightful stuff.

He was the worst player on the pitch that game Krafth is an average Championship player at best. Hopefully he can improve. Yedlin's a Championship player. Manquillo is, too. He's the best of a bad bunch IMO. I liked his calmness on the ball. Checked his WC record and it wasn't as good as I expected. Didn't play in any of the group stage games and then came off th bench in the 80 something minute in the second round and then the 85 mins in the QF. Sweeden did finish top of that group, though, so experience... Okay. Not sure if serious. You think Krafth is the best RB at the club based on only three games? I have confidence he can be because the other two are so weak. Plus, he is starting ahead of Manquillo, no?

Think this was a good signing. Don’t rate Yedlin(remember that Willian goal?) and Manquillo is strictly a defender. Think this’ll prove to be a good one in the long run. I like this guy’s size, the fact that he basically has an assist(Schar - Watford) and had the balls to find himself in the box vs Norwich and get a shot off. Played 85 minutes in a World Cup quarter final. How many times does Yedlin just float a ball into the box? Rarely. He needs it to be played to him while he’s running on to it and then chip it in from the byline. This guy’ll just put them in from wherever he’s at. I’d rather that. Carroll and Joelinton will too I’m sure.

I mean he did put the ball in to the box for Hayden, Joelinton and Schar to attack and then score from... Also had that shot against Norwich just outside the six yard box that probably should have been on target. Think he’s alright tbh.

Love that variation of the nike swoosh. Very smart shirt.

Aye. Challenges like that have been getting reds in La Liga.

Man, great point. In the long run it could hurt the team on the whole. Didn't even think about it from that point of view. Salah’s probably going to be top scorer in that team anyway. He frustrates me at times. Shooting from ridiculous angles, ignoring teammates. It’s great when it works but infuriating when it doesn’t. I’m sure they’ll work things out before our game.

If it comes down to goal difference though....

Mane right to be angry at Salah who can be incredibly selfish at times.

Scrappy game. We were well on top of them in the second half and had some good opportunities to win the game. I’m trying to give Almiron the benefit of the doubt but he annoyed me today. Either way, he should always be in the team as he’s a spark. Atsu was pretty good. I didn’t like his corners though. Took two of them short when we brought our entire defense up. Willems created a couple chances. He’s good at getting out of of tight spaces. Dubs made some great saves. Joelinton played really well, it’s just a shame no one could create any chances for him to get on the end of. He had to do everything by himself. May have been a half chance but wish Muto had shot a second earlier at the end of the game. Schar MOTM for the goal and just trying to make something happen. Special mention to Lascelles for that run down the left wing. Could have scored from that action.

16 year old Ansu Fati just scored for Barcelona. 1-1

Schar!!!!

Handball? Something?
