Christ knows what they are playing at though, getting the game called off for no real reason makes no sense.

Is this more Japanese High School Championship shenanigans? Best thing to happen to the sport in ages.
Pumped for Morocco v Ghana.
It is. And, I believe it is the final, too.
Sensational game between tournament favourites Senegal and Zimbabwe here.
That number 20 of theirs has had some right comedy touches.
This has been brutal.
It's been an absolute shitter.
Even the second rate Concacaf teams are better than this garbage.
Those names though.
Admiral Muskwe, the old sea captain himself.
lol ofc Senegal get a penalty at the death.
This game is looking like the last one.
Don't fret, Asian Cup will be starting next sumner.
And just to prevent my inbox looking like the scene of the sequel to Babe: Pig in the City with all the gammons demanding I write previews and betting tips, rest assured, I'll start a thread.
That was a quality finish.
Looked decent, but surely the keeper shouldve done a bit better. Not necessarily save it, but a good keeper would have.
First time in my life Ive ever heard of Comoros. What was their empire name?

South Ireland.
Corkomoros?
Obviously not a fan of Pointless.
"French Comoros". It's a tiny island between Africa and Madagascar, I'd never heard of it either.
It seems quite odd that the Venn diagram of people who go on a website like this one and people who have heard of every country is not a circle.
French was fairly likely alright. I was sure it would have had another name though as you think in a lifetime youd have heard of them all at some stage.
Its heading on a year since I had BBC but thats one show I do miss. House of games too.
They were under the French until 1975.
Didnt see their previous name, but this came up: The Comoros, with an estimated gross domestic product (GDP) per capita income of about $700, is among the world's poorest and least developed nations. I dont know why, but Im surprised by that.
I only mentioned it as in my mind Comoros was one of those places up there with the Turks and Caicos as a go to 'never heard of it' place answer when the questioned required such a thing. The name always slightly reminds me of Sodom and Gomorrah.
In fairness pointless is probably the reason I know the Turks and Caicos.
French Comoros is all I could find. There's a few other islands around it, so maybe they had a more recognisable collective name. Or it was all lumped in with Madagascar. Fuck knows. The Wiki page defeated me.
Villa playing some lovely stuff.
We're entirely incapable of holding onto the ball to take the pressure off a bit when teams are pinning us back.
Yeah, all the tactics wankers analysing United at the minute seem to miss the fact they can't string five passes together under pressure.
There was a moment there where we had the ball, it went out to Shaw who cut inside and had Fred and McTominay in loads of space in the middle but he elected to shuffle it back to Varane, so Villa press up to pressure the defence and suddenly Fred and McTominay are galloping about trying to find more space for somebody to pass to them, all because they sometimes won't take anything other than the very easiest pass which means a backwards one.
And if it does get over half-way Greenwood or Rashford get their heads down and run into somebody.
Are Villa just hounding after our transfer targets? Coutinho and now Digne.
I can't understand how - in the age of stat wankery - the use of the "fire it straight into the wall 99 times and once into the top corner" freekick technique is still so alarmingly widespread.
Maybe my perspective is just skewed by David Beckham, but I swear there are WAY less direct freekick goals than their used to be all round.
United are really really awful out of possession. Teams can just pick their way through at ease. My working assumption is we carry Rashford, Greenwood and Fernandes in defence which makes it easy for the opposition to just work the ball through the defence.
Rashford is grim
This has Villa on penalties all over it.
Nah bro it's the coach.
Not sure if srs
At least 'Ralf' seems to have picked up the good fortune baton from Ole. From the bit I saw they were getting absolutely battered and yet still Villa conspired to do everything but score. United's press is a thing to behold.
The Comoros game was pretty shit. Sudan v Guinea-Bissau tomorrow will hopefully be more entertaining.
I'm not suggesting I'm convinced it's all going to work out, but isn't every team absolute wank when they first get a PRESSING manager?
Dunno, is Tuchel a pressing manager?
Aaand there it is.
VAR WINNING again.
Working hard to try and disallow this.
Good decision referee.
