Something like that but was it not 2 places and the two teams don't have to be even placed just outside the regular slots?? 

No, I'm sure it was changed so effectively England and Spain (as things stand) would have 5 teams in the CL and it would be top 5 of the league

Once they find out he's a "Mag" it's insult after insult but no doubt if he was a "MLF" then they would have been blowing smoke up his arse

Rudiger did that high kicking running thing he did to Almiron last season again in this match.

The player he tried to mock this time, Asano, scored the winning goal ten minutes later. Justice was served!

I don't think he does it as a mocking thing, I've seen him do it quite a few times

Their supporters are class as well. Never a pissed-up dickhead among them.

They are like

Saw a video clip of their supporters cleaning the stadium and they weren't even playing (Was the Qatar-Ecuador game)

GET IN, this is class

Get in, good goal that 

Japan should have equalised there, the initial save from Neuer was class

That's some keeping like

The way Rudiger does that run will never not be funny

He might have gotten away with it if he didn't jump on him immediately after

What on earth was the keeper doing there?

Is that Alvarez the DM we were linked with before? ?

It is him, not watching the game properly, been any good?

This is just playing into the nonsense that being against the Saudi government controlling NUFC is xenophobic.

 

That was an unbelievable game. The Saudis energy levels were unbelievable and both goals were great, especially the second

 

 

 

It was nonsensical they even talked about our takeover before the game, there is no relevance to the national side

I'm just not a fan of hypocrisy

Those doylems waffling on about our takeover before the start of the game and saying they shouldn't be in our league will be crying right about now, delicious stuff

It adds to it that they will be gutted Saudi Arabia haven't got battered

What a save

Wow, get in 

Lovely that

Argentina look average like, don't think I've understood why people have them as one of the favourites, a decent side do them  

Unless I imagined it we will be getting this offside technology in the PL won't we?

That offside decision seems harsh. 

Though at least it quietens those that are screaming the WC is fixed to gift it to Messi

Just looked at this Dutch keepers Wikipedia page. Bloody hell.

 

28 years of age with only 32 Eredivisie and 8 Serie B appearances.

 

 

 

And he has a 39 year old keeper on the bench who made his debut 2 months ago

The difference between McCoist and Jenas isn't even close

Yep, it is a lot more clear from that angle.  He’s offside.

 

Did the TV not show this angle?

I didn't watch the match live so only caught the goal and then the decision but I don't think they showed this angle, which is what caused people to kick off at the decision 

Tbf on the most used image it does look like the leg belongs to the guy heading it, just goes to show how deceptive relying on a single image can be deceptive

They’re jumping like that when the ball is being played into the box?  That’s odd

The leg sticking out does not belong to the person heading it 

Assuming I have uploaded it correctly, this image shows it better 

It was the correct decision 

Was a poor game and not helped that it was the only game of the day. 

Feels like tomorrow is when it properly starts, more games, more competitive and a better standard. Looking forward to it.
