I'd take some right now tbf

Hopefully start showing our class soon. We're a better team, but that adrenaline on their end is a big equaliser at the start. Getting to this point without conceding a silly goal is a good start

Honestly just refreshing not watching 2 teams taking it turn passing the ball slowly, 60 yards from the other teams goal for 80% of the game haha. Aside from Croatia Portugal that was probably my favourite game

Ageed! Its up to the referee to keep them in check. That performance was as horrendous as the infamous Clattenberg howler in Chelsea Spurs 2-2. I would not be surprised if hes investigated after that.

Only Ngolo could be there with a friendly arm round a Paraguay player as its kicking off What a guy

How can you not be loving this?!

Assume this will be the refs last game because he's just giving the Paraguay players carte blanche to injure these players with no consequence. Gotta apply the rules correctly

This 21 coming on is a proper stallion! Hes gonna bag an equaliser

Weak!

Well the graphic makes Mbappes pens look pretty poor. Guess the right way and he might save it

That is a pen annoyingly

This ref is terrible tbf

Big fan of this Paraguay team! Channelling to prime Stoke/Atletico shithousery in the red and white stripes Go on Paraguay!

Martin getting rid of the guy that scored the goal that got him sacked Proper Brendan vibes Frees up a lovely spot for a lightweight cm that can pass 10 yards back and sideways though

What a game! Fair play Cape Verde. If youre gonna lose, do it in that manner

To be fair, if there's leaked videos of Russell Martin going for the Mike Basset bar dance on a messy night out in Marbella, then he'll earn 6 months of guaranteed support from me.

Think it was for him to decide if the defender intentionally played the ball

800 Croatia goals chalked off that half. Glad I stayed up for it though, cracking 2nd half! What a save from Costa from that Kovacic shot as well. Gotta be save of the tourney so far

Jesus christ, is the football department actually becoming efficient and ran like a professional football club?

I imagine i'm massively in a minority but I still don't think that's a Belgium pen. Senegal player is trying to play the ball and Tielemans steps in front of his leg, he proper stretches to get his leg there. If anything, to me, it's obstruction and a foul by Youri. Similar to when a full back goes to clear a ball near the corner flag and a player slides in front to block and misses it. The full back usually kicks the player and the full back will get the free kick, which is correct. It was a hell of a pen though given the wait and pressure from him.

Think Senegal still win this. They look the fitter team. Youri and Lukaku must be dreading another 30

This belgian gaffer is honking.

Ah legend, it was driving me mad as I couldn't work out why they used it sometimes but not others I don't understand why they don't do it both ways but at least I know now thanks.
