    Now that Rashford is BACK and Sancho is a WRITE-OFF it's an obvious signing.

    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]?

    This also happened to Senegal in the last World Cup, and they went out on more yellow cards than Japan (Gana Gueye obviously hasn't learned from that either).

    If Holland won 3-1 here and then Ecuador/Senegal drew it would go down to fair play points.

    If still tied, then it would be drawing of lots.

    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.

    The keeper would say he only went the wrong way because the offside player was in the way in the first place I imagine.

    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.

    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.

    It's never good in any context.

    Holland are just rank though, probably regardless of how they line-up.

    Listen, just keep your head down until he gets back. '' a few regulars during the game, or boost a joke somebody else posts. Nothing controversial.

    To be fair if he plays like he did against Iran and the US notice then England having an invisible player might serve as a handy distraction.
