FIFA Confederations Cup 2017 Russia

[Deutsch Wolf]

Bit of a convenient draw in the end. Unless something really weird happens then both are heading through as a result.

 

[Alan]

Russia eliminated. Putin won't be happy.

 

[The Bear]

Akinfeev's a dirty bastard.

 

[The Bear]

So Chile ahead of Germany by a single goal. Both have to go for goals to top the group then as neither is going to lose (Germany v Cameroon and Chile v Australia).

Winner of the group will play Mexico on Thursday night. Runner up play Portugal on Wednesday. I guess you'd pick Mexico on paper but neither is the "easier" game IMO.

Well! I was expecting more from both Germany and Chile in this first half

 

[darlowolf64]

and almost on cue, Australia lead

 

[The Bear]

Awful defending from Chile there.

 

[Alan]

Top class finish from Troisi.

 

[MARKakaJIM]

Should've had themselves a ridiculous head tennis second then.

 

[Alan]

Ter Stegen produced a really special save to keep Cameroon out just before halftime, too.

Both of these games more even than expected.

 

[Alan]

...and just as I say that...

Not impressed with Timo Werner at all, every time I watch him he looks very average. Massively overrated IMO.

 

[Lycan]

What a fucking mess.

 

[slink]

I think this tournament has shown the VAR needs a lot of work if they want to use it but it also shows that a massive part of the problem is that the standard of refereeing in general is poor.

 

[Alan]

Aboubakar scores, finally.

Commentators here talking about that making Newcastle happy? Has he signed for them? How did I miss that?

Odd isn't it as I think he's had a cracking game. Lovely player who finds space off the last man and has superb technique. A proper finisher.

He had to score 2 as soon as I wrote that didn't he. The second was very well taken.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Portugal vs Chile should be good, Vargas has already showcased his Joe Mason-esque one on one finishing.

Commentators curse DW?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

It was good for about 20 minutes
