why have VAR? cowardly, nasty stamp on a Ghana player missed by the ref. Red all day. Joke. Uruguay players spending more time on their asses than their feet.
god i truly hate this Uruguay team. no argument they are very talented and a dangerous side, but the gamesmanship, crowding the ref, diving, play acting. everything i hate about modern football in 11 men.
So, what to watch today??
For me, in Group F it's prob Croatia v Belgium, as Belgium need to win, whereas Morocco only need a draw v Canada.
Group E, think i may be channel hopping between the 2 games...
clearly southgate knows a damn sight more than me, but i'll be really upset if we go back to that 343 / 523 set up again. I think playing 3 in MF with somebody like Bellingham in a more advanced role was a nice balance between overly defensive and gung ho. But GS does love Mount, so imagine it'll be 343 with Mount taking one of the winger places when / if we face France, haha
yes, this grinds my gears so much. it's just wrong. the wrong way to think about the game. you shouldn't praise somebody being deceitful and cheating. it should be called out for what it is. cheating.
really don't like where football is heading... ridiculous penalty decisions every day. seemingly if you touch anybody in the box it's a pen now.
but if you clearly dive to try and con the ref, you don't ever seem to get penalised.
christ. another shocking penalty. how else are you supposed to slide, if you don't put your arm down to break your fall, you injure yourself?? really don't understand it.
Spare a thought for the commentator in the S Korea game... the GK and the entire back 4 are all called Kim. There is also a Kim on the bench.
MF and striker both called Hwang. And back to the bench, 3 players called Cho and 2 called Kwon.
GK also Kim
