JP taking every opportunity to shit on Qatar.

Like many African sides (and 2nd/3rd tier international sides generally) they are very unbalanced with a wide range of abilities on the pitch, so when someone like this Sabaly at right back is taking 5 yard first touches and leathering crosses out of play, it slows down the tempo that they are able to play at.
Cissé is a good coach who has them well-organised and they rarely concede, only doing so vs Holland because Mendy threw it in. Then they look to individual flair up front, which without Mané is obviously blunted but Sarr looks lively enough.
That's a penalty
That's a penalty for me.
Yeah, that’s a definitely a penalty.
Can’t believe how far behind the iPlayer is
The VARs are spooked after that 3rd minute offside in the opener.
It’s the Jamie vardy/Harry Kane step across the defender running back.
I’m glad they’ve not given that. I think they are starting to phase that “buying” a foul out. Certainly seemed like what the ref was inferring.
That was hideous stuff.
Not a penalty for me. Would have been if the leg made contact but I don’t think it did. Don’t want penalties given for just being out muscled.
In the Wales - Iran game earlier they had changed the headline to 'Iran score two in stoppage time' well before Iplayer had shown the second goal going in.
I did wonder why SvN was responding to things that happened at Italia 90.
And it's Grealish to make it 6!
That footage of Renard at half time is incredible.
Qatar.
Lovely header.
Brilliant header. Almost as brilliant as Renard's translator.
Yeah, that’s a belter of a header. Hopefully smash them for 6
Fucking yes Iran. Come on Taz. Got my Houthi flag in the window for their decider.
Wouldn't surprise me if Qatar come back here, Senegal body language is terrible since the second goal.
I can't see how they score 1 let alone 2 though.
There's so little quality on the pitch for them.
If he actually connects with that there's the goal.
Plenty of quality on show there.
Mahow bet on Qatar to score again pls
The shinned control was quality. Worked out beautifully though.
3 out of 4 stages of that goal we’re absolutely class.
The lad afif is a really decent player. Googled him and he had a short stint at Villarreal. Only 26 so if he fancies it, he should get another crack in European football.
Senegal haven’t turned up here at all. Ecuador should put them out.
That light skin blades lad that was playing non-league a couple of years ago has torn it up there. What a story
Let's fucking go.
I can back this.
I thought we were pretty good against Iran, so hoping for more of the same tonight.
lol at this ITV piece being like some true crime drama.
The presenter asking the panel whether 'the world' needs to come together to fight homophobia. By all means lecture me on morality during a football tournament, but can we not have idiots trying to do it?
Is that trailer meant to be funny or just a factual list of historical atrocities committed in the US?
Hal Robson Kanu's had to don his suit in mourning and pivot to find a purpose and Sone Aluko's still wearing a wig to get a gig. What times.
The Dutch side looks far more balanced today so hopefully the look a bit better. Timber over De Ligt is a big improvement as is not having any of them target men stinking up the joint
8-0 Holland works for me. Make it happen, Louis.
Wasn't he available for half what Antony cost? Not that I'm not a massive Antony fan.
Fucking Mbappe would have been available for half of that Antony fee tbf.
He's hit that very well, but there's something a bit off about it on the 'keeping front. Starting position is too central.
Also, another outside the box goal? No actual 30 yard screamer yet but we're getting there.
