World Cup Discussion Thread - Day 1 (14 June)

They've done well to convert this from an athletics stadium.

I don't know if it was just me, because I'm watching on ITV player, but ITV just missed the first 40 seconds of the match.

‪This doesn’t feel like a WC opening game. The crowd is so dead ‬

They've got form on that score. Remember (I think it was) England-USA in 2010?

‪Saudi Arabia actually have decent technical players but they’re so disorganised and make so many simple mistakes ‬

Preferred Russia's Jersey when it was burgundy.

The Saudi National Anthem - now there's a tune I'll be humming all day.

Really, Clive Tyldsley? Commentary on Stalin's 'tache???

What's next?

"The Russia coach was quite assertive when he took over in removing some of the less effective members of the then Russia squad. A little like Stalin's purges really"

A GOAL FOR ALL OF HOMOPHOBIA

 

[tototoner]

Please fuck up about VAR already

To be fair, that applies if Saudi Arabia had scored too!

Look very naive all round

 

[Marty]

Decent start to the fantasy league that, assist for Golovin.

 

[tiger666]

Shut up Tyldsley

 

[Gb160]

That refs a big old unit.

 

[rez9000]

Shut up Tyldsley

Ohhhh, if only!

 

[Marty]

God dammit, that's such a clear offside, give it lino! Stop fucking about waiting for VAR.

Marathon not a sprint mate.


I've got the Saudi back 4 in mine.

Terrible decision from the linesman. Doesn't get much easier than that, and it led to players getting hurt.
