The Official World Cup 2018 Megathread

Penalty imo, arm in the back and trips him with his tight leg too. VAR is too inconsistent right now.

VAR has been good in the main and worked very well in contentious decisions. You can let your agenda go now.

 

[Nando]

Good, but it still should be 2 and a man up.

Pen and a yellow nowadays.

 

[Tredman]

Pen and a yellow nowadays.

Red for a German though surely.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

No it isn't. A push in the back isn't a genuine attempt to play the ball so double jeopardy still applies.

 

[Nando]

I stand corrected.

 

[Kenny]

Quality goalkeeping there.

 

[Jack Regan]

Excellent double save.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

This is going to be a LOOOOOOOONNNNNGGGGGG second half for Sweden. Going to be an absolute siege.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Arrrgggggghhh

3 on 1 absolutely butchered!!!

 

[Jack Regan]

Shoot man shoot!

 

[Dire Wolf]

How the hell does Boateng get in an international team? He's an absolute shambles...

 

[Jinky]

Should be scoring there. Never seen a Germany team so vunerable on the break in my whole lifetime, I think.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

This is going to be a LOOOOOOOONNNNNGGGGGG second half for Sweden. Going to be an absolute siege.

I watched them play Italy in the playoffs and they barely gave up a clear chance across 180 minutes. They can defend.

Should be scoring there. Never seen a Germany team so vunerable on the break in my whole lifetime, I think.

They were beyond awful at Euro 2000 and Euro 2004 :icon_lol: Vulnerable to everything in those two tournaments.

 

[Dire Wolf]

Great save.

 

[Dire Wolf]

How the hell does Boateng get in an international team? He's an absolute shambles...

And he runs like he has chronic piles...

 

[AndyWolves]

Germany are way too open. Their centre backs arent good enough on the ball or quick enough to play the way they're playing.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Roy Keane absolutely slaughtering Boateng. And rightly so.

 

[Nando]

Boateng has been very, very good over the last five years, but it isn't difficult to see why Bayern supposedly want rid. Their £50m asking price looks somewhat optimistic now though...

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Neville is also bang on. Something is clearly not right in the German camp. Body language is appalling after what was a good first ten minutes.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Draxler off. Tick

Mario Gomez on. Fail.
