The Official World Cup 2018 Megathread

[Jack Regan]

Poland look very poor, although a huge amount of fortune in the opening goal for Senegal.

I think Morocco have better players overall, but after a nice start they unravelled and had no proper plan.

Tunisia are ranked higher than Senegal FWIW. We haven't seen Egypt with Salah yet either, they miss him more than Portugal would Ronaldo.

1-0 Senegal, huge deflection.

Morocco are definitely the closest but front to back I think Senegal is superior. How often do you find an African side with two CBs that are starting and occasionally captaining sides in the biggest European leagues, like Sané and Koulibaly are?

How Tunisia are ranked higher I have no idea.

Poland look very poor

Strange too. They have great talent but look a shambles right now against an organised Sengalese team

 

[Alan]

Krychowiak is begging for a red here.

 

[AndyWolves]

Senegal are hungrier for this. Poland need to match that if they want to get a result

Lol Poland

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

That is one EPIC fuck up. Going to be a lot of sad faces at work tomorrow.

 

[Jack Regan]

What the hell were Poland doing there?

This group very much not going the way it was expected.

 

[Local Wolf]

Was just about to post Senegal looking much livelier then that happens.

 

[Alan]

Szczney in being shit shocker.

 

[Johnny75]

McCoist: A goal for the lad who was lying poleaxed a moment ago.

I think he's quite amusing.

Poland have been terrible.

 

[Alan]

Comms here saying Niang shouldn't have been waved on when he was.

Quality Sweeper/Keeper :ursofunny:

I'd make more jokes at his expense but N'Doye has just come in for Senegal and I defended him for ages.

Poland were definitely moaning about that. I need to see replays but as far as I am concerned the Polish midfield should have known he could come back on before the backpass was made. And then you have the goalkeeper taking himself out of play by being a dick as well. A truly dreadful goal to concede.

I like McCoist too.

Piszczek has had it.

They've got no cause for complaint about that. It's just a stupid decision from the Poles.

Krychowiak definitely didn't know Niang had been waved back on. But equally it was a poor pass back regardless and there wouldn't have been any danger to begin with if the pass had been better.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Absolutely.

Fucking look up at the man on the side line before booting a lazy pass back. It was appalling lack of awareness and correctly punished.
