Qatar really loving injury time.

Poor from Mendy again.
A classic Mendy error there, pushing it into the middle. Should be dropped for the next game.
Huge shoutout to Mendy for keeping all my bets alive. What a gimp
Senegal also absolutely hopeless, just need a classic French turn now and we're dead set for the semis.
Is Mendy on the take here? Fuck me he’s dreadful.
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.
He was a lot better than he is now, but he always had a nervy moment in him.
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.
Classic African shite. They should just have France as that useless continent's representative.
Jesus, Taz. You can't go on like that. You're nearly 40.
Another way to look at it is the majority Muslim teams are 2-12 down on aggregate thus far.
Maybe he's seen the future, which means whichever of Wales and America have the fewest Muslims are going to win 2-0. Wales?
Belgium have to get a new away shirt or remove the "Love" stitching.
FIFA gagging hard on that Qatari cash.
Until the major nations boycott the cunts nothing will be done about it.
Bryan Swanson (gay or otherwise) must be having some serious 'Are we the baddies?' moments as he signs off on these press releases.
On paper the USA look a poor side, which I assume means they are going to do a lot of running.
Fucking hell it’s against the back of their necks
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.
Over 2.5 in this. Both lineups look like utter shit.
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’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 had better hope @phonics hasn't been on the Turbo Shandies today.
Ah yes the gumball jawbreaker jerseys. Always a pleasure to look at
Roy Keane going in on Iran
I've no idea who I want to win this. Two of the world's naffest sporting fanbases. I'll support Football and Goals.
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.

Welsh fans are having their rainbow bucket hats confiscated.
I assume nobody's tried to explain all the Qatar stuff to Wayne Hennessey given he's only just learned about Nazis.
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?
If they turf out this elderly singing hype man, I'll allow them 3 days of uninhibited homophobia.
I quite like Keane's anti-Qatari/pro-pub line of propaganda.
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.
Wales in tracksuit tops. Go on…
