Jude Bellingham... wow. WHAT a player he is, peak Viera at only 19!!! Said it before, I like a midfield 3, Rice and Henderson (Philips?) giving him the licence to roam around and influence the game. Superstar in the making
the rules say that feinting to kick the ball once the kicker has completed the run-up is an offence, but feinting in the run-up is permitted. I don't know if that has changed, but there you go.
i heard dropping Foden for Saka (and Walker for Trippier)... it's like trying to pick a Lee Johnson tombola lineup with England, but sort of in a good way!!
France Poland... can't see beyond a France win here but fingers crossed.
Robyn Cowen commentating, so 5live it is. Here voice when anything exciting happens is like claws on a chalk board for me!!
i can't help but think more teams at the next WC. not just diluting the quality, but 3 teams in a group and 2 going through, we will lose all of this gameweek 3 drama we have had all week! shame... won't be the same without all of the teams in each group playing at the same time and all these ever-changing permutations! plus a third of the teams will only play 2 games, whereas now the half that get eliminated at least have 3 games...
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.
