They've caught up with the usual schedule now at least, 2nd round always starts on a Saturday.
Seems a bit unfair on Australia and Argentina though to play Wednesday and Saturday
Well done England for qualifying with the best record out of all 32 teams
My inclination is Brazil's half of the draw is incredibly weak and ours is much stronger
Group E winners get Croatia, Brazil, Netherlands/Argentina as a likely run to the final
Group E runners up (Germany probably, as a reward to losing to Japan) get Morocco, Portugal, France/England as a likely route
I think VAR is showing up the technical incompetence of some refs that's for sure. They can't hide behind oh didn't see it anymore.
That goal would have been given in England without a doubt (Taylor Moore v Assombolonga, Rovers defender v West Brom years ago, many many examples where a deliberate touch from the defender automatically makes the attacker onside)
