Knockout Stages - Round of 16

[leicsmac]

Either Belgium on Tuesday or Spain shortly thereafter really needs to hand out the most humiliating defeat possible.

Think we def get delays tonight with the storms, could be a long one 

 

Might be ok thankfully, just checked it.

I thought I was imagining him having a good game so had to go check… He had the most successful dribbles, most key passes, highest xA and most big chances created in that game, with 92% passing accuracy in the attacking third.
 

The various stats bodies and rating bodies like sofa score etc. all gave him at least 8/10 vs. Congo.  My only real criticism of him there from memory was he tried to come back inside too often and just ran into 3 players in their block. He could have tracked back for their goal, but Anderson also could have just dropped in to free up Spence (who was poor generally, but not really to blame for that goal) .
 

I thought Madueke did well against Croatia and Congo, but poorly vs Ghana and Panama. 

I may have got the wrong game

Looking forward to the 3 hour weather delay and pubs having to turf everyone out before half time

That would be hilarious can you imagine? I'm probably going to be asleep.

I've always enjoyed watching a Brazil match on a Sunday on tv....and England swell 😉

[Muzzy_no7]

Come on Norway 🇳🇴!

[RowlattsFox]

Not one to complain when they don't but its great that Ancelotti has learnt the national anthem and sing it quite passionately too.

Brazil have never beat Norway

You've jinxed it now   Hopefully the repetition of it in commentary will nullify it

Wow...got to stick another 100 on Norway than....thanks 👍🏼 

[RowlattsFox]

That's Odegaards fault, pass was on for a while before he passed it 

[Muzzy_no7]

That’s a real shame but should give Norway hope and make Brazil cack themselves.

Yeh. Every time I watch him he loves hanging on to the ball too long. No idea why Dixon is blaming Sorloth.

[FoxesWalk]

The pitch looks absolutely appalling 

 

No way in hell should a World Cup final be played here. No other games should be played here. Better pitches in league two. 

[Muzzy_no7]

Vinicius Junior is so unlikeable it’s unreal

[spacemunky]

That's definitely a pen 

[Muzzy_no7]

He does get the ball, slightly.

[Jaspa]

Similar to Kane against Congo, going down before contact. I wouldn't be giving that

[Aus Fox]

How is that not a penalty? 

[whoareyaaa]

Clear peno

[Muzzy_no7]

Oh he’s the made the decision looking at just one camera and angle.

 

Here we go.

[Raj]

Even Stevie wonder  would have given that ffs

[Ian Nacho]

That's just not a pen. He's touched the ball. 

[foxfanazer]

Foul in the build up though
