Disallow that one you cunts.

Guess so . I claim my five pounds.

Boy I’m glad we’re getting the VAR explanations /s

Missed the first half because puppy things. Did they change the formation?

Urgh, forgot the time and switched it on just before the end. What was the game like?

The fact he continued to play at the level he did for so long despite basically not training and having one knee is unbelievable. I saw both Campbell and King for their entire Spurs careers. Campbell was an absolute physical phenomenon. In a shitty Spurs team he played left back as a teenager and at times carried the team. That period gave me so much respect for him and was key in me defending him when he went to the Arse. Ledley King was better.

Yeah it’s hard to judge Japan. I mean, this is their style, and it’s extremely effective. Just…everything absolutely went their way in the first half. That won’t happen every time.

You’re being quite hard on yourselves here.

Japan game is bonkers. They sit back in a deep 5-4-1 for 10-15 mins, then get the ball, go upfield, have a shot and score. Just the perfect hit-them-on-the-break game. They’re 3-0 up with 23% possession and three shots. Third goal was absolutely fantastic.

I mean, I’m out of touch with general football, but I’m not completely incompetent

I can’t see Levy selling him to a PL team directly anyway unless the money is insane, and it seems unlikely to be - Man U have already spent fortunes.

Yeah I think so. Be more concerned about getting a couple of center-backs in. I’m not really as into general football as I used to be so I’m not sure who’s out there up front. The Ange style lends itself to a mobile forward and out-and-out finisher so for once Kane will be less missed. Then you factor in us missing out on Europe, which seems like a real bonus. I think they might run with Richarlison and sub in people like Son and Solomon at times. I think they need at least one guy in up front. The ideal would be a younger English player who would have time to develop. No idea who’d fit the bill though. You’ll not get top class because no Champions League, but there should still be decent money around for wages.

What a great winner!

Colombia as cynical as fuck though. That little run of deliberate fouls there

Really should have scored a second.

Google says Giggs at 162. Let the Giggs begin…

And France score. They’ve looked good, well worth the lead. With all the injuries and big teams in mediocre form they’ve got a chance.

Really interesting game, this.

Quite like the colour of this French kit.

I switched on just before Sweden’s first goal . Proper old-school women’s game goals, unfortunately.

Thank goodness for that. If she’d given that after not giving the China one it would be an absolute scandal.

Should have been another penalty. Absolutely no idea how VAR didn’t give it.

This ref is a bit of all right

Enjoyed that little bit of shithousing at the end though

Urgh. Watching England on the defensive is terrifying. A half-decent attack will score half a dozen goals on the break.
