Didn't work out that way for Argentina

Morocco looking the better side here to me.

 

[EdgeOfTheAlps]

Yeah, I miss Romain too. Fucking Lage.

Two good teams on show here so far - both very technically gifted and I could see both of them causing England issues. Not sure how many years a large % of this Croatian side has left at the top, though.

That was all on Sellars/Shi - Romain is on record saying Lage wanted his contract extended.

Hal Robson-Kanu is actually a half decent pundit.

Hartson, is not.

 

[Langers]

Yeah HRK is alright, isn't he?

Better pundit than he was a player.

 

[nimrod]

Well no because are you giving it offside if the players are leaning opposite directions but the defenders trailing leg is further back than the strikers head? Then the opposite of a striker is sliding in feet first

Trying to change the offside law to help VAR just causes a different issue.

VAR needs to he better at judging the current offside law and if it can’t then used in a way that it only judges the obvious ones which can be reviewed with one look at a still.

The rule application is too anti-football esp on a through ball. They should have some allowance partic given they must make mistakes on the exact timing of pass release.

ruling a throughball for offside because of an armpit nobody intends to use is just farcical. I’ve suggested position of feet before but maybe it could be based on next use so unless next touch is the armpit, ignore the armpit.

Kudos for ITV for using Mint Royale for a trail into an ad break.

There is a fairly easy way of deciding offside with the lines and that is making the body part that touches the ball next (given offside is now played on) the deciding factor.

Touch it with your armpit then it's the armpit, touch it with your foot then it is your foot

They used a bit of Public Service Broadcasting today and yesterday too.

Excellent stuff.

Henry Winter has tweeted that Kane's ankle is fine after the scan and he's good to go for Friday.

Turns out Curtis Woodhouse is a complete cunt. Who knew

 

[Deano]

Too many 0-0's so far, hopefully it doesn't catch up with 2010.

FFS why have their grandpa's always flown pipes in the war? Must have been millions of pilots in the RAF back then

 

[Del Woppio]

The fuck is the keeper doing there?!

My grandfather let the side down by driving Matilda’s round North Africa.

Worse than that, my grandpa shot down planes...
