Mitrovic should be burying that with ease. Good play in the build-up.

[kingfox]

Surprise, surprise, Kolarov bags a free-kick.

[Riyad_Suarez]

Cracking freekick, that.

What a goal! 

[StanSP]

beautiful hit. 

[Finnegan]

That is filth. 

[Phube]

The wall though!!! 

[Finnegan]

Studs up through the player's standing leg, gets booked, "little bit harsh for me"

[Jaspa]

That, Golovin's last goal for Russia & Ronaldo last minute against Spain - all similar

[Kitchandro]

Great tackle, and the referee has booked him because the bloke pretended to be hurt. Ridiculous.

[The Horse's Mouth]

Better than Ronnies that

She's no worse than countless others on the telly tbf. 

 

I don't particularly like her and she's there for blatant tokenism but right now Evra is chatting complete and total waffle while Aluko just made a couple of good points about the game. 

 

I mean for a start, she's the only one of these three that thinks Serbia is the better side so far which they quire obviously have been by a distance. 

 

Good point on Evra. I mean Wtf. He's so bad it's embarrassing. 

 

The panelsat the minute are exactly what I knew would happen when tokenism overtakes selection on ability. Shame but that's 2018.

They're not a footballing heavyweight, but underestimate these at your own peril:

 

Costa Rica 0 - 0 England

That was an entertaining goalless draw, if I ever saw one.

we were already out and played a reserve side in our worst world cup ever and they still didn’t beat us. they’re crap. as they’re showing here. 

 

didnt actually realise how good serbia’s team is. 

[MC Prussian]

Ah, Campbell - the Arsenal lad who never really made it.

 

Currently without a club.

The commentators just said he was, albeit having spent most of his time out on loan.

To be fair, Arsenal have written him off months ago.

Is a bit mad central America get the same amount of places as South America, there's one good team in central and that's it

Evra isn't really tokenism - ex player pundits have pretty much always been selected on reputation as a player, not ability (hence why Lawrenson and Shearer have lasted so long), and Evras club record plus captaining his nation at a world cup fills that lazy selection criteria

[StanSP]

Mitrovic should have shot but thats not a penalty anyway. Why's he taken so long!?

[MC Prussian]

Where did the Costa Rican hit Mitrovic exactly?

 

Correct call.

[YesNdidi]

Mitrovic is absolute shite
