Doctor Zaius

Minamino and Tomiyasu on the bench, Japan not even taking Kyogo from Celtic, who has been on fire. Instead starting another Celtic player who has scored 3 in 14. Strange.

Not taking Kane off before the 75th minute was moronic from Southgate like. Managing minutes and reducing the risk of injuries is tournament 101 isnt it? 3-0 up at half time ffs.

Far cry from the days of Viduka, Kewell, Emerton, Bresciano and the likes this Australia side

Think France would do us like. Forward line is quality

Get in

Why is Jonathan Pearce so fuckin sombre? Such a weird commentator like. He's either going mad like Hypnodisc has just disabled Matilda or its like he's providing commentary on remembrance day

Im a fan of this extra added on time, or at least the correct amount of added on time. Players go down, teams make substitutions and generally slow things down to interrupt the flow of the game as much as wasting time. They know that previously, it wont all be added on and breaking up the game causes the chasing side to lose momentum. Not worth it though if its going to result in an extra 8 minutes added on. Should, in theory reduce gamesmanship. Not idea for Newcastle if its brought in to the PL mind

hes unbearable

Why make up absolute nonsense.

Bale looks fucked

Wales so much better with Moore as a focal point

Empty seats is such a shit, shit advert for the game. So frustrating.

holders last played first in 2002, been the hosts every world cup since.

The lack of hype for this World Cup is incredible like. Starts in a few days and nobody seems remotely arsed.

Buy it and if you cant go sell the ticket? Assuming it comes as a paper ticket and isnt loaded onto your ST card

There's quite a few of famous starting XI's from iconic teams that actually barely played together. Quite interesting really. This Liverpool team, that 'golden generation' England team never playing a game together and the 'invincible' Arsenal team that only played two games together is pretty mad. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/51491041 EDIT: Actually, surely that tweet is bollocks, given the exact same team except for Gomez in for Matip had never started a game together before Feb 2020...

Absolutely delighted that this has all fallen apart in the most embarrassing manner possible.

Hahahahaha get in

Chelsea with 10 men behind the ball. What times

England in the World Cup final or Wilson, Trippier and Pope available for this?

Then you cant select any wing backs in the 4. Impossible to select the formation he might well go with. Anyway: Pickford White Dier Stones Tripper Shaw Rice Bellingham Saka Kane Foden Would be my shout. No chance he's not staring Sterling though.

Avoid a big team please, as they'll treat it as a PL warm up game with their best players.

Awful listening to it on the radio

GET INNNNNNNNN
