    A classic Mendy error there, pushing it into the middle. Should be dropped for the next game.

    Senegal also absolutely hopeless, just need a classic French turn now and we're dead set for the semis.

    They approached the game pretty well I thought, but the lack of concentration and mental errors in the last 15 mins were dreadful. Two midfielders with thicko challenges getting themselves on yellows could be crucial as well.

    Mendy was always crap. That first six month Tuchel super defence just made him look good.

    Mendy had the fortune of being compared to Kepa who had flapped for 12 months solid by the time Chelsea signed him.

    I thought it was a nailed on 0-0 when I saw the teams, neither of which appeared to be all that good.

    I mean, Vincent Janssen? He's so bad he's now playing in Belgium.

    There's definitely been some really weird miscommunications about venue capacity. Al Thumana has an advertised 40,000 capacity which they exceeded despite the place clearly being not full.

    Another way to look at it is the majority Muslim teams are 2-12 down on aggregate thus far.

    Italy, France, Spain, England, Germany, Brazil, and Argentina with guaranteed spots. The rest up for grabs.

    Maybe he's seen the future, which means whichever of Wales and America have the fewest Muslims are going to win 2-0. Wales?

    On paper the USA look a poor side, which I assume means they are going to do a lot of running.

    There's no one to take the lead.

    England can't as everyone hates them and would all too willingly line up against them, and everyone else is too poor in footballing money terms, only the English League could survive the pariah status that could come, and even then that's not the FA, and Dicky Masters [or whatever he is called] would probably be on the Qatari sympathy wagon faster than you could say sporting sanction.

    The armband stuff could be problematic for FIFA though, as it clearly flies in the face of their inclusivity nonsense. Presumably someone will be asked at some point whether equality is a political issue in their eyes.

    Josh Sargent. Jesus almighty. Gio Reyna easily our best player and he's on the bench.

    Fox Sports doing an emotionally gripping biopic on Christian Pulisic now.

    I think a good few would follow England to be honest, I don’t buy the thing that everyone hates you. That said, it shouldn’t be up to England to go against this on their own to see who does follow.

    I’ve seen Josh Sargent play this season and the lad is decent. If they can get Weah to actually know where the goalposts are, the US might be okay here.

    You are probably right, if someone had taken the seismic step to boycott [someone told me Norway would have had they qualified] then I'm sure they would have been followed, but it's obviously very difficult thing to do on your own, particularly if you think you might win it. I mean, Italy happily boycotting away as it stands.

    Those wily Italians ahead of the curve.

    Really though, even outside a boycott I can’t believe even one of these cunts across the whole thing hasn’t the nuts to take it on themselves to fire on an armband or something. Probably just shows how completely detached they all are these days.

    The answer should always be "not America" but I'm not being one of those soft cunts that wishes the neighbours well, so fuck them both.

    Can we speculate on whether Gareth Bale will be booked if he does his heart celebration thing if he scores?

    Bot disappointed actually that there haven't been any undershirt protests yet. Do they check them before the game or something?

    Wait, this is the highest ranked group in the world cup? Good grief. But then, Iran at 20 is beyond belief, so I guess the rankings are what you make of them.

    There’s surely a 1 missing before that 20 after looking at them clamour around today.
