Pukey

Japan have had a few moments where a better pass or what have you would see them threaten. They need some luck but I don't think they're completely out of this at all. Do think a second Spain goal kills them though.

I swear they try and make VAR look awful sometimes

"Croatia will get better and better as the tournament goes on" they might not even get through ffs

What an evening of football

Well that was unexpected

Book him ffs ref. Not cause it should be but just cause it's fun.

Dangerous looking free kick for Mexico...

So? Should both teams just go "nah no worries, we'll go out thanks, we'll lose to France anyway"

YELLOW FOR POLAND

Thanks all, drawing of lots My god that would break me

Appreciate I could google this, but what happens if Poland and Mexico end up level on discipline as well?

Poland going through on discipline

Poland need to start playing now, they can't just hope Mexico don't score cause they look like they'll score any second.

All this means is Poland continue to play incredibly dour football sadly, need another Argentina goal to get them to try and do anything. Di Maria is winding me up this tournament.

Glad they didn't score the penalty, but that's absolutely deserved, miles the better team.

Then you get Maguire rugby tackled and that gets ignored

Said it before and will say it again, him and Ronaldo, for players who are clearly so brilliant, have incredibly ordinary penalty records.

It's weird cause they usually get away with all sorts, see Wolves keeper against Leeds this season. But then that gets given

Hahahahahaha ffs

Murphy absolutely thinks any time a keeper doesn't hold onto the ball is "poor keeping" doesn't he

"They're nicer than Hitler, look, they're not even murdering people!" I think is meant to be the point.

If Denmark are gonna be this garbage can they at least let Australia score a load so they top the group just for the ***** and giggles?

Lovely finish

What part of him thinks the Hitler comparison is a remotely good argument?

I didn't even say we were good/looked good, just we looked very comfortable. Yeah we didn't create loads of chances but we had absolutely no reason to be throwing players forward and taking risks, we knew chances would come if we were patient. It was at worst a bit meh (and at best, fine), my main point is calling it "dreadful" is a massive overreaction. Against a team that absolutely needed to win that's also a huge rival we limited them to literally nothing and completely controlled the game, while having a couple of chances (and one big chance with Rashford 1 on 1.) Like, it wasn't thrill a minute or anything but we were very comfortable and clearly had another gear to move into, likely waiting for Wales to start taking more risks (and look what happened once we got the first.) Absolutely guarantee every manager at this world cup, in the exact situation we were in in terms of what result we needed, playing a rival etc etc, would at absolute worst tolerate that first half.
