2022 World Cup - Qatar

[pagliaccio_euforico]

This isn't the premier league any more you softies. FA isn't here to give you goals.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Laughable. Both Stones and Maguire bundled to floor and no penalty.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Ouch. Painful headclash.

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

at this point I think we all know he's concussed

 

[Bada-Bing!]

They should really sub him. They have 3 other keepers in their squad.

And we thought rugby's concussion protocols were bad.

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

He is in no condition to continue.

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

Soccer is here to make me feel good about Rugby. 4 VAR to do the job incompetently. A non-existent concussion protocol. Rampant time wasting.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

It really shouldn't have been up to him to continue.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Iran proving to be tough breakdown. Always thought a 1-0 would good enough.

Damn just hit the bar.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Yissss!!! Jude.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Yes!!! A Saka to me baby.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Sterling!!!!

 

[Bada-Bing!]

4-1.

Old Slabhead has had a good game. But right decision to take him off.

Usually at a finals tournament I engage myself with the "anyone but England" attitude (and if you have a problem with this and/or want justification I can assure you the conversation will not be satisfactory) but I couldn't even bring myself to want Iran to win here.

You'll mistake me for Uncle Sam and Tom Jones during your next two matches though!

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Flying now.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

A penalty but why wasn't two of England's players getting rugby tackled in the first half not?

Overall very happy with that. Would have been happy with a 1-0 win. 6-2 was beyond my expectations. Played very well - Bellingham, Saka, Rice and Maguire all played well. As did the subs.

Can now look forward to Wales v USA tonight.
And of course Netherlands v Senegal next.

It's not unusual for the Irish to support their celtic brothers when playing sport against England on the green green grass of home.

Joe Lycett did not shred £10k in David Beckham Qatar protest

The comedian has donated his David Beckham Qatar World Cup protest money to LGBT charities.

[Bada-Bing!]

Netherlands v Senegal. Both teams lacking a real cutting edge.

Finally!! 1-0 Holland.

[Bada-Bing!]
