Great pass from Keita to Mane, 'pool fans should be excited about that. My BBC commentators are in full agreement on it not being a penalty though.
Davinson is absolutely one of my favorite young CB's. He is prone to making some mistakes for sure but his strength and pace combination are promising and the experience that he's getting here at the World Cup and starting in the Prem will improve his decision making over time.
Was the same as everyone else on that one, looked like an easy pen first couple of looks. That 3rd angle was perfect, just an amazing tackle by Sanchez. And this is why VAR is necessary, despite the annoyances
This whole time on FIFA whenever I start a new career and sign Keita Balde Diao, I'm like haha suck it Liverpool. EGG face
Have to figure it's related to the hamstring problems he was having? Nothing clearly happened during the game, but he was not involved and not running like his normal play for Colombia. Hate to see it, hopefully he's not done if Colombia stick around
The 2022 World Cup is going to have the same time schedule as this one right? Early morning, mid-morning, afternoon games.
it still weird me out that tony meola sounds almost exactly like troy aikman. I keep waiting to hear a 'youre absolutely right, joe'
Fucking Qatar. Still can't get over that. So dumb. To your question, I have no idea, but screw FIFA for this. And apparently, the tournament won't be in the summer, "instead scheduled for late November until mid-December" because of desert heat. So give it to someone else! That's going to be such a clusterfuck with 90% of domestic leagues playing in that timeframe.
I really think that's the reason the US won the World Cup 2026 bid. I'd assume the US would've turned up the heat on FIFA over how Qatar got the World Cup and what's going on over there in regards to building the infrastructure to host it.
Leaving for Hawaii on Saturday. Wish I had thought of this when I scheduled that vacation. 4 AM and 8 AM games, yuck. Dear diary
Since twitter is saying Vardy is starting over Kane, let me go ahead and preempt the horseshit and say "Kane will just claim Vardy's goal(s), herp derp" so you don't have to say it.
I don't know how the leagues are going to deal with it. Its going to make for some fucked up results when a team like say, Burnley will get to rest its players for a month but Man City's entire starting 11 will have been playing games for a month.
It'll be like when teams are out of European cup competitions and get to play less games than their opponents and win the Prem, but multiplied by ten.
A Colombian goal would you put you level on Points, GD, and GF. Tied match earlier in the group, so it would go to Fair Play Rules. I have yet to find a good source for current standings of that.
Well going into the matches Japan was on top so I think that would favor us. So really anyone in the other game can score
New rule: before each match of the group stage we do PKs. And that determines who advances in the case of a tie between two teams should it happen This fair play/drawing lots stuff is stupid
Fair play is fine, play by the rules. Drawing of lots shouldn't be an option. I say some kind of trial by combat.
So many things in this SEN - COL game would have been called fouls in the 15th minute but they’re gonna let them play this one out.
