Maybe African sides are just good these days. Cape Verde drew with Spain and Uruguay, DR Congo with Portugal, Morocco, Algeria and Egypt flying. 

The gap has definitely closed; as a fan I'm not sure I'd describe Algeria as flying but I get your point.

 

I weirdly think because of how cutthroat the CAF qualifiers were, having more teams in has made it so the chances of a strong african team coming through more likely. Previously you could have a great team (egypt around 2010-2014) and not qualify because you lost a single game

Again we waste 7 or 8 minutes during the half way point of the half 

[MPH]

I can only assume it was the plan all along  to bring on better players than what we had on the pitch

[CrispinLA in Texas]

Times like this we need a Maguire sub then a header from a corner for the goal

[OntarioFox]

You're shite, sweet Prince

[Raj]

CMon Abdul

 

Fat awuuu Abdul running down the wing...

 

 

[trabuch]

Oh shit. Ayew is going off. Bad news for us.

 Possibly Rashford and Saka are 100% better than the two starters 

[21st Century Fox]

No that’s Ayew’s regular running speed.

[fazzyfox]

The fastest Ayew has moved for years, going off under the new rules 

[MPH]

What? That was englands free kick?

[HarryDee8]

Pickford made a booboo

[foxfanazer]

The ref has definitely favoured us tonight 

[moore_94]

Pickford has bottled that hahaha

[Lionator]

You’d be fuming there  

[filbertway]

Interesting tactic by Pickford there

Non golfers on here won't get the reference. Well played 

 

I knew that was pretty obscure, but that you'd catch it 

[RowlattsFox]

Pickford pulled out. He's not fouled anyone imo

Ayew is a complete liability for these, surely there’s a better striker (I know Kudus is injured).

Yeah the Coventry bloke

Did Mowbray just say Ghana are bring Prince Andrew on? 

I'm sure this game has AI commentary 

[trabuch]

If Prince Edward had got the ball there that's a red for the angry boy with the little arms. Lucky.

[adejo92]

Refs got to be English aint he.
