Ugh. What an awful watch

 

[Rocksuperstar]

Anyone notice the impact Higuain had?

Nope.

So overrated.

 

[hughy]

Eriksen up next. Come on Denmark!


You forgiven him yet @Dougal ?

Nope.

So overrated.

This would be funny if he hadn't recently scored 3 against Spurs.

Check out @HoltChris’s Tweet:

Caballero is really not a good goalkeeper. Iceland had three shots on goal, one of them in goal and the two others Caballero saves but the ball gets straight out into the center. One of them Iceland scores on.

Seen it so many times in PL also .

I never knew Twattenburg was a Geordie

 

[Ekmek]

No var?

They use a silent VAR. The bus communicates straight to the referee. If they think there is something they ask the ref to look at it and make his decision.

But I do agree it should have been a penalty.

The punditry on ITV pisses all over the earlier shit the BBC provided, the girl and frogba almost made Phil Neville sound insightful, Gary Neville is miles better and Evra and Larson are decent. Don't mind Mark Poobag either, decent presenter and Hoddle was better than Lawrenson as chief shit talker during the game.

It wasn't an outstanding match, but it wasn't terrible. I don't really know what you expect from a team like Iceland. They're not exactly going to bomb forward in all-out attack when they have Messi, Aguero and Di Maria waiting up the other end.

Fair play for getting a point. Well deserved.

I agree entirely, I expect Iceland to play no different. Well done for the point. Doesn't mean I enjoy watching 11 men defend for 90 minutes. I'm not going to lie and say it was good entertainment.

A couple of minutes later the ITV commentator said Argentina couldn’t get through the 2 thick white lines of Iceland

Maradona woulda hoovered those lines up quicker than me in the bedroom.

I love the world cup.

Keep an eye on Cueva for Peru, My mate says there has been a lot of hype around him in the last year and a couple of Prem clubs are interested. He's one of those that will come over and either we will never hear of him. Or he will be one of those mastermind cheap as chips signings like Mahrez or Kante..

The Danish Fred Elliot.

He only had about three minutes on the pitch as well, but you can understand why I want to take every opportunity to slag him off.

He was very good for Sao Paulo. Very lively.

Used to like Solano as a player.

What about as a person?

Did Eriksen forgo playing for Ireland too?
