Salvio gives a lot of options going forward tbf

Argentina are terrifying defensively

This isn’t going to work if Perisic is going to be given that much space

Very noticeable Messi isn't dropping as deep as usual so far

This game could be mental

They were the better side. Denmark been one of the most disappointing and lucky teams in the tournament for me. Rubbish considering some good players. Getting hammered by that Denmark side should have resulted in automatic sacking for O Neill Didn’t he get a new deal? Yes Fuck, that’s grim although I guess his POV it’ll take a mad effort not to qualify for the Euros/expanded WC. Very likely we won't qualify for the Euros IMO. Needed a playoff last time

Presume it's just part of the whole PR drive Southgate and the FA are so keen on

Bundesliga is so grim for shite like this. Players announcing they're off to somewhere else before the season ends and now a manager who's going to manage a whole season with everyone knowing he's leaving. Hoffenheim should sack him

All the attacking talent in the France squad and they play a DM at left wing *facepalm*. Deschamps is the French Pardew. Matuidi isn't a defensive midfielder

The build up is great but my favourite part is him shitting himself and just throwing it short

Fucking hell that Iran throw in Highlight of the World Cup so far

Don't like watching it myself but complaining about massive underdogs wasting time and playacting and defending with 11 behind the ball is ridiculous

I was taking the piss tbh Clearly there should be penalty in every game if there deserves to be. Strange criticism

Was listening to a podcast a while ago that touched on this kind of topic. The guest was the author of a book about Italia 90 and he made the point that very few of the teams in the tournament had any kind of tactics at all beyond the formation itself. This was backed up by him talking to lots of players and managers from the teams in the tournament. This meant that individual flair was much more important and easier to show than it is nowadays

Uruguay are always a horrific watch

Won the Euros without him like

That not obvious? If people disagree with that it completely proves my point man Dunno, think people underrate Benzema because he doesn't score as many. Unbelievable team player

I'd take Benzema before Lewandowski. Now there's an unpopular opinion

Like that Gazinsky guy in midfield for Russia. Always in a position to receive the ball

Aubameyang is worth a shout as well. Scored as many in a much worse team in Germany and started like a house on fire in England

Love a bit of Dzyuba

Nice goal. Russia are decent
