The Official World Cup 2018 Megathread

[Parkins left foot]

Terrible touch from Lingard

Was in with Sterling clear if he had had any control of that

 

[nimrod]

that September song is pissing me off.

 

[Jack Regan]

Getting a little bit deep.

 

[Derby Wolf]

Took that off the head of Falcao that did.

 

[FrankMunro-371]

Thank you, if you are out of the box then I presume that makes it easier to control the Colombia players though rather than the free for all that went on?

Indeed it does. A referee should isolate himself. He stood in the middle of the Colombians arguing with them. There was no need for that.

Having said that it is almost impossible to control this game.

Honestly it shouldn't be surprising to anyone that an American who discovered the sport 7 years ago would have a wildly different perspective than a bunch of Brits who grew up soaked in the game.

Definitely. I think that's why i disagree so much but i will just disagree, the name calling fucks me off.

I thought it showed his foot getting clipped in the replay? trying to work and tab between the forum/game so I'm admittedly distracted

Definitely no touch, may have stumbled a little but then flopped down.

 

[AndyWolves]

Dier looks well off the pace

 

[Jinky]

Dier. Simple stuff. Jesus.

Vardy to score a second on the break?

 

[ndorsetwolf]

Dier is a disaster waiting to happen. He was useless against Belgium, and already looks worse here.

 

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

Christ. I'm far more nervous than I should be!

 

[The Bear]

Kane has been superb tonight. Calmness personified and perfect in possession. MOTM by a mile.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Dier is not the solution here.

 

[AndyWolves]

5 mins on injury time I reckon

 

[Nando]

The massive chasm in footballing intelligence between Dier/Henderson and Neves is astonishing for players who are regulars for top four teams. The awareness, touch, short passing, little movements to create space are completely absent from their game.

Yup that holdup play in the Colombian half was immense.

 

[FrankMunro-371]

Five added minutes. Given what has gone on there should be at least ten.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Shut up Clive you tempter of fucking fate

 

[ndorsetwolf]

So Colombia get 5 added minutes for time they wasted!!!

Dier was bought up in Portugal and in Sporting's academy so not specifically an English thing in his case

 

[Jinky]

Oh my God.
