Someone let LVG know.
The best I've come up with so far is this ball spins far more than other balls. I don't think you can control a long shot in the same way - it'll be interesting to see if someone like Messi is able to get his direct free kicks on target. Leathering it into the turf and going for the low ball flight is the way to go.
Their faces do perfectly encapsulate what it must be like to travel all the way to that shithole, get fleeced financially while you're there and then see your team play like that.
Would 3-1 Holland here mean neither Ecuador nor Senegal could play for the draw in the decider [ie would that completely tie them up]?
Ah, the dreaded fairplay points, what a load of shit. No matter what one of them is going to be playing for the draw [both have it in them] in that last game.
I imagine they might 'agree' a 1-0 result here. Holland certainly don't look arsed about getting the second.
That's a harsh one, but probably right on balance. Fuming if it goes against your team though.
If that hasn't touched the offside guy then that's mental, the 'keeper is diving the wrong way so can have been in no way obstructed.
Not for me clive
Yeah, but he was going the wrong way before the guy who actually directed the ball at goal touched it, so he would be manifestly lying.
It's one of those anomalies that involve more nuance than the VARs are capable of deploying in the time available. Probably should have stood.
It seemed to get fairly short shrift, would the flag going up have anything to do with that [ruling on the field stands etc?] as if that is applied for such decisions [as it is clearly used with refereeing decisions] then that seems a bit mad - seeing as the linesman can have had no idea whatsoever about the offside player being in an interfering role.
Enner Valencia is great.
Ecuador are a serious side. Would match up well against us though so mon the draw.
Klaas Jan Huntelaar mention.
The Hunter
Dumfries is genuinely murder. There’s not a chance they’re not better off with Frimpong.
3 atb hasn’t been very good this tournament, has it?
Went for a Senegal, draw, England treble.
So would be happy for them to just call it here. Suits both teams nicely. Ecuador can park the bus vs Senegal and Netherlands can run riot vs. Qatar to get top spot.
And presumably Ecuador and their poor little blacks will be ever so grateful for scraping second past the might of the great white Dutch.
I'm not sure this Dutch team have a riot in them.
Better for Senegal having to win than the pain of trying to watch them get a 0-0 against a team with 11 players who have a first touch.
VINDALOOOO 5-1 Chucky Cheese.
Kevin Rodriguez a second division domestic player tasked with replacing Enner. Great scenes.
So lucky I’m at work on my phone or that’s another 24 hours. This post is a reminder for me to do it when I get home so your ban starts at 2am. Make the most of it I guess.
About time his anti-white comments were stopped.
So much as direct a PM my way and I might grace you with my presence next in 2027 if you crowdfund a big enough olive branch.
They need to stop bringing Sarmiento on before I've had a beer.
Is that Daley Blind playing left wing back or is that Daley Blind's son son's son?
Van Gaal is such a boring manager. 0.07 XG for the stat lovers
Who's styling Roy Keane like he's Wayne Lineker ffs.
Is Gary Neville alright? He looks like he wants to top himself and we haven’t gone out on penalties yet.
That American World Cup will be quality compared to this one. Give me 11pm kickoffs.
U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!
Let's go lads, FREEDOM.
If we don't sign Bellingham, I'm gonna be in bits. Proper don.
I booed the US anthem. Tax dodging pricks.
Taking the knee in front of the yanks feels a bit off.
Probably the worst commentary duo possible, this.
Mason Mount definitely pays journalists, broadcasters etc to talk him up.
Alright BOYS.

I'm a twit
Maguire looked like a new born deer trying to walk.
