    VAR can only get involved if it’s a possible penalty, whereas a backpass would be an indirect free kick.

    Yeah but Virgil van Dijk plays for Liverpool. So that’s obviously the ITV pick, even though it’s over within the first half hour.

    I can’t see any other format that’s feasible. Sure, you could have twelve groups of four going straight into a R16. And the maths of it works. But then only the group winners and 4/12 group runners up go through and 8/12 runners up go out. Going to be loads of teams going into their third group game with nothing to play for if you do that. Plus you’d need 104 games (I think?) instead of 80, so probably the only way to get it done within the month is if you have 5-6 kickoffs a day and then the TV audiences cannibalise each other.

    Putting Ecuador v Senegal on ITV4 Just an absolute shambles of a channel

    God job we had Peter Walton and VAR to confirm someone was about five yards offside.
  6. Rob1981
    Cagey. Almost like a draw is a decent result for both sides.

    I don’t know why everyone is going mad for Laura Woods all of a sudden. Basically just getting Wrighty and Karen Carney to name check the players in the Premier League and calling it analysis.

    Are they holding up Neymar’s shirt?
  9. Rob1981
    Why do they call it the 974 Stadium? Don’t think anyone has mentioned it yet.

    Bento lost it Think it was Bento that got banned for ages for pushing the ref around at Euro 2000. When Portugal conceded the late SF penalty against France.

    A goal for all of Africa!

    South Korea moving it about well

    Anthony Taylor finally gets a game
  16. Rob1981
    I can see a South Korea win here. But that puts Ghana out with a game still to go. And surely everyone wants the Ghana rematch against Uruguay to have qualification on the line for both sides.

    The format has already been decided. It going to be 16 groups of three, then two from each group into a R32. So if you get to the final, you play the same number of games. And 16 teams will go home after two matches instead of playing three, but these are only the extra teams that wouldn’t previously have qualified at all.
  18. Rob1981
    Decent for Serbia really, just need to go and beat Switzerland to qualify if Switzerland don’t beat Brazil.

    Game of the tournament so far
  20. Rob1981
    It’s the one they all wanted

    I think that Cameroon squad in ‘94 still holds an obscure record for age gap between oldest and youngest player. Rigobert Song (17) and Roger Milla (42). Unless Egypt broke that record in Russia when they picked the 45yo keeper.
  22. Rob1981
    Lovely stuff
  23. Rob1981
    Rigobert Song’s Cameroon career is absolutely mad. Still in their WC squad in South Africa when Choupo-Moting broke through. But he also played with Roger Milla who made his Cameroon debut in 1973
  24. Rob1981
    Only the third game out of 29 where both teams have scored before HT.
  25. Rob1981
    New keeper going well
