Hopefully it means he wont wedge his way in to any commentary tonight.
Were you keeping count of how many times the goose was calling for video assistance ?.Quote:

ill be the first to say it.
Iniesta didnt have his best game today. im a little worried as he really only has Jordi Alba to read his passes and to be in the correct spots.
Bloke was trying to play with Costa all day and Costa just stood there like the lumbering oaf that he is and was way happier playing 'kick shit out of Pepe' (which to be fair a) was fun, and b) worked).
the best bit was Isco was fantastic, back to the form he was in the end of the 16-17 season.
def quickly becoming my new fav player, unless i can get J-League games to keep up with Don Andreas.
Bhahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Of course it was going to be like that.
Iceland are the Daniel Arzani of the world cup.
Utter trash, but way too many fan bois.
gee whiz how bad is the delivery of this tin pot cup.
watched the late game tonight on the optus stream, utter ****ing trash
Haha. I love you Plague.Quote:

Whereas if England could score 10 goals in a game they might get 1 and struggle to a win.
Iceland will always be at their maximum and no more. Argentina will always give you 70-80% of what they could achieve. Hence why they haven't won anything of note for 25 odd years with some of the most talented players in the world.
Not sure if this is the right thread. But Croatia just showed everyone how to start a World Cup group stage. 4 forwards in the first game, the excat opposite of what France did.
About to watch the full game, optus replays working like a treat.
Replays are working well for me, and I'm loving the 25 minute highlight packages.
But of the two games I've tried to stream live, both have been stop start the whole time. What a joke.
Argentina looked pretty average. Tidy, but noone but Messi looking to try to cause any damage. And he struggled too - struggles with trying to win the nation's support. I hope him/they can come around.
Iceland could make it through - they are so disciplined and committed in defence and looked dangerous on the counter.
Some great games already and we're only a few days in..
I am enjoying the mini-match concept as well.
too many teams have all white/light based uniforms.
i dont like all white/light based uniforms.
ill let you know if any other thoughts like this come across my mind.
ref needs to put his whistle away.
every tackle is getting blown up. let em have a crack ya jerk.
We need more players wearing headbands. That Korean dude is rocking his.
A lot of the Koreans have dope hairdos, except the bloke that came on as a sub with the bowl cut........then they explained he was doing his compulsory military service.Quote:

Never heard of this Trippier bloke.
england are trash.
England can feel hard done by there
that is the worst penalty decision I've seen in many years
i don't have a problem with the penalty. you swing your arm, you take your chances. no reason for him to make that move except to block the jump of an attacker.
sterling really isn't very good is he?
This has hallmarks of a classic England performance.
Self implosion in 3....2...
Lingard is also not very goodQuote:

when i was a kid i used to go to parties and dress up as a policeman, or a cowboy, or an army man.
Raheem Sterling got invited to the World Cup and dressed up as a number 10.
Damn, thought the inevitable English choke was gonna be on track again.
Me too.
Made it harder than it should have been but still won
Today's result is the perfect situation for us.
England won, so will now forget about how dire they were and carry on about spirit/toughness/bad luck etc etc etc.
They will continue to carry on in the belief that they WILL win the World Cup but then succumb to their inevitable fate and stand there with that stupid mouth agape pose the Pommie fans perfected and wonder aloud "but this was our year'.
Then they'll riot. Because England.
God I hope Belgium put them to the sword.
i look forward to the reviews claming england was fantastic. they scored two off set pieces where nobody marked kane, and he did what any forward at that level should do - headed them in.
very happy with the draw against brazil... but for ****s sake... Neymar diving little princess.. well thats how it was percieved by us in the stadium,. What about on tv?
Does it all the time.Quote:

Watching the last 15 mins of the game that was what he was most interested in doing
Same here...who does he play for? Never come across Eddie McGuire either.Quote:

and i know you're mucking around calling him Eddie but legit ive no idea what his first name was.
Still though im well aware of The English Daniel Arzani', Raheem Sterling.
bloke is trash.
came in to the game 3 minutes late and i've missed all the action!
columbia already looking for a get-square red for japan.
What happened to the no red AND penalty rule?
Cracking game. I'm knackered just watchingQuote:

again though, the ref was bang on.
no need for VAR.
also the Colombian goal looked like it was given straight away as well. does goal line tech tell the ref instantly or is there a lag. because hes got it right again.
They're using the same type of system the EPL use, the ref has a device like a watch that alerts when the ball crosses the goal lineQuote:
