Major Isewater Posted July 2, 2021 Report Share Posted July 2, 2021 Fantabulous goal. This Italian side are rapid, streetwise and a little bit scary. They are the best team I’ve seen in this competition. ( probably means they’ll get knocked out) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, if he hadn’t stayed down and out he’d have risked being flagged offside. Just making sure it was clear he wasn’t interfering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Batman Posted July 2, 2021 Report Share Posted July 2, 2021 Great game this. Had a feeling belgium would score before half time even though Italy's 2nd was so close to it. Hope Italy can hold on and win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRock Posted July 2, 2021 Report Share Posted July 2, 2021 Nah. Stone wall penalty that. Bloody Keown sitting on the fence. You’re supposed to be a friggin expert. Elbow in the back, push, player sent sprawling ….…what doesn’t he understand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BanburyRed Posted July 2, 2021 Report Share Posted July 2, 2021 Blatant pen, made no attempt to play the ball or shepherd the ball out, just elbowed the guy in the back. Hope Micah Richards isn't driving home, he said it was outside the box! Clown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand it being given for sure. Maybe I'm just accustomed to 'fouls' that might get given elsewhere not being given as penalties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

22A Posted July 2, 2021 Report Share Posted July 2, 2021 I know some of the games are being played in neutral countries and some locals turn up to watch an wave their own nation flags. Draped over the edge of one stand in St Petersburg, there was a Russian flag (fair enough) and next to it, that of one of the former Soviet republics. Then at the start of the 73rd minute, there was a clear view of a Pakistan flag! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be gutted, but they have been class to watch. There might be a slight bias though as they have always been my 2nd team to look out for at International Football.
