Poland are such a waste of time at the World Cup.

Always get hyped up but don’t perform.

 

Well hopefully not - I mean they went 1/0 down to a soft penalty early on.

Unless the ball was radiocontrolled, no.

Lightning struck and Argentina can only blame themselves.

Sorry, can't agree with this. Going back to Chilwell cup final was it not the leaning  of the upper body that was offside. Either you are onside or off. 

As per current rules, yes offside. I would like to see attackers favoured more and less goals ruled out for what is not really much of an advantage. Measure legs, not upper body.

Missed opportunity but my expectations were low going into the tournament so it is what it is. We’re not gonna score many…

Chucky is the only player who looks like he can create anything going forward. Mexico always look the same, play some nice stuff at times but lack the end product. 

 

Find it a shame how a nation as big, and as football mad as Mexico haven't really had a generation of quality players come through together.

Argentina would not have got that soft penalty if that was the case.

What if someone heads goal where head and neck is offside. I favour on or offside where to use the old joke you are either pregnant or not. In others words you can't be a tiny bit offside and still allow a goal.

I do love watching games with my Mum.

 

Mum: I thought it was hot over there...

ME: It is

Mum: Well that player is wearing gloves

Me: That's the goalkeeper

Mum: Oh do they wear gloves all the time?

Me: Yes Mum

Ugh. Every now and then I forget Martin Keown is a professional pundit and my world is a little brighter. Every time I'm reminded I die a little inside.

Why do you think it was ?

It was just a discussion at work, overhearing a fellow colleague saying that the result wasn't expected.

Nah mate. That was a proper underdog performance. They fought for it. If that was fixed, so was our league title. Enjoyed watching it because it reminded me how fun it is being the underdog. 
 

Your colleague probably made a lazy assumption without watching it.

Nope, just Argentina being shit…. Despite being shit already prior to kick off, and they will continue to be shit for the duration of the tournament…..

And as a result of sharing a joke. They fixed the match by convincing the entire team of Argentinian millionaires to play seriously below par ? To add to the drama, they gave Argentina a penalty for shits and giggles - there is corruption. This one ain’t it.

This. As one of the chief executives of calling corrupt VAR in the game I am glad to announce that this game was not a fix, and in-fact, ****ing glorious.

 

Fair play Saudi Arabia. Genuinely amazing result.

Not over yet in this group.

 

Spain lost their first game to Switzerland in 2010. Spain won the group and tournament of course, Switzerland went out.

Poor, poor performance. But one we've come to expect in the opening game.

 

Poland has an old cliche about their national team's World Cup schedule: "Mecz otwarcie, Mecz o wszystko, Mecz o honor" (Opening match, match of everything, match of honour). Seems that this team are playing into that old trope.

I don’t think yesterdays game had any hint of corruption but worth looking into Messi and Argentina FA’s deal with Saudi Arabia post this World Cup

What’s worth looking into? It’s a quick way of getting even richer in an emerging football market.
