Dandy Man

Still seen little to convince me that Rice is not a luxury version of Scott Parker, pads the stats with inconsequential sideways passes

Rice so redundant - especially when Kane is dropping back into the same area half the time

So passive this, still probably win but won't be because of the tactics

Thought Qatar would find a way to at least win a game but they've been so bad. South Africa only other host nation not to qualify from group and even then they beat France

Fuck off Peter Walton

The Chris Hughton influence evident in way Ghana have set up

Been an OK match but as with most of the games so far it feels like there is something missing and it's not just goals

Around 20% of Koreans have surname Kim tbf

South Korea manager looks a bit like Michel Roux Jr, my main take away from the this match so far

Aye, guess they couldn't sack him after last World Cup though. At least he will get to stink it up at a Premier League club again when he does leave and it won't be us.

Unfortunate that Canada have to play Croatia next really, them versus Morocco would be a good contest but they could be out by then

Fuck me, something good and exciting has happened

Another game that feels a lot like wading through treacle

I didn't really think the whole team had shoved their hands in their pants and were sniffing them for the photo

Going to end up doing some work at this rate

Tribute to Joachim Low?

Morroco gave it a go but felt like Croatia more concerned about not losing the match than winning the match, decent level of football in places but fairly underwhelming

Decent half, two good sides

Assumed they were using the official 3 letter country abbreviations - but then Croatia should be HRV so fuck knows

Gallant effort from the Australians according to Danny Murphy, questionable

Disgraceful that Peru bottled it against this lot tbh

Pearce is shite but he doesn't particularly annoy me, Matterface invariably drives me mental after 20 mins. Murphy and Dixon similarly terrible but Hartson could yet be worse.

Matterface and Lee Dixon?

Lloris far from convincing way he watched that hit the post

Ah well, nevertheless
