How do Gavi and Pedri look? They’re Barca’s and Spain’s big hope of dominating again imo. I think both are still teenagers and both should dominate the game for the next 10/15 years. Exceptional talents. They all look like and remind me of Bojan 😀 Heard a pundit on Talksport this morning waxing lyrical about them, which prompted me to watch.

US of A were quite physical in there opening game.
It’s like supporting Stoke. Over 24hrs to go and I am starting to feel nervous. 😀

The official in the Moroco game was quite good I thought. This was reflected by both teams shaking his hand and smiling at the end of what was a poor game.
He allowed the game to flow, ignored several attempts of diving and got little wrong.
On a footnote I have to ask; Is it a sign of old age or lechery when Fourth Officials start to look attractive ?🤪

This game is a tough watch, I'm not sure if it's due to the lack of quality on the pitch or the mind-numbing John Hartson on the commentary. Hartson has come out with a few dubious comments today. The accompanying drums in the background add to his monotonous voice.

Anyone know why the score header at the top of the screen has Morocco down as "MAR" instead of "MOR"? Well spotted 😀 Could it be a language thing?

Sounds like you live very close to me! I've hears certain rumours about the incident that you are referring to!! These incidents are quite common all over the place. Cannock and Burntwood (I don’t live in either) seem to have daily instances. A friend of mines daughter had them attempting to steal a Range Rover off the drive in broad daylight in the Armitage area. One of them had a lap top. When accosted she got a mouthful of abuse and casually walked away. The police were unable to attend !! PM me and I will tell you where I am.

Frances second goal was due a amateur type cock up by Australia, leaving Harry stranded and in no way to blame.

I am told that Range Rovers are one of the most sought after cars by organised gangs of thieves. There has been a spate of them in my area. They somehow can scan the keyless fob and have some kind of computer program which they use when they return some time later to start the car with ease. On my car I have complex security alarms but still use an old fashioned steering wheel lock, and keep the keys well away from the front door in a metal container. Fuck sake, it must take you an hour to nip out to the shop…😆 It’s no hardship at all. Last week dozens of houses in my village caught on security cameras guys in balaclavas checking out cars at 0300am. Everybody is being cautious.

Thought the ref in the Denmark game was pretty good. Two debatable pen decisions, neither given. In the English PL I have seen penalties given for situations like these. Would have been cruel on Tunisia who came out and gave them a game.

Goarn Harry lad! At seven o clock tonight I'm Australian for an hour and a half (plus the twenty minutes added time). I suspect a lot of Stokies will be watching this one. Lets hope the PL vultures give it a miss!

Cracking stat that Jesus and crazy really isn't it. I'm going for Denmark in this one but after the Saudi result who knows. Really getting into this world cup now though its great. Gotta love the Danes...gave us lovely women, bacon, pastries and some quality adult art magazines....rumour has it. If only I could reach them I like there Flag. See a lot of them on boats in the Med

Missed most of the Argentina game but caught the last twenty mins which seemed action packed. Can’t comment on the ref but he seemed busy the little I saw.
Not sure if he could have stopped the game sooner for the head injury.

He did ok with no major controversial decisions to make. So on the whole we have nothing to discuss, but I am sure there will be in the future.
To set a bench mark which I would class as average I would say 6/10 ?

USA v Wales.
Not sure yet about this guy. Not sure where he is from.
Basically he has got nothing wrong but seems very excitable when giving decisions. There could be a sending off in the second half.
Surprised at USA physicality and Wales performance so far.

A little surprised at the comments above. Accept all the crap or even the hatred we get from Scotland but I have no animosity towards the Welsh. Would like to see them and do well and come second to us. England v Wales has the making of a good, British type game to test us and hopefully top the group. Just a reminder. If your English and want Wales to ever win anything I’m sorry. You want Fukcing. Should Wales win or loose I don’t really care. As far as Fu*+-#g is concerned as long as you are female , under forty with blond hair, and not to plump I accept. Even if you are Scottish 🤪

Thought it was interesting that he had managed…was it 9 red cards in his last 10 games with 5 in one? Completly boned the first penalty. Handled the concussion awefully, adds ten minutes then plays three. It also wasn’t a difficult game to manage. Be interesting to see what he might be like with battle with real vim. I miss Pierluigi (any excuse) View AttachmentMaths a bit of a challenge? There was 10 minutes added in the 1st half and the half finished at about 55 minutes. In the 2nd half he added another 10 minutes and the penalty was scored in the 103rd minute! Agree the Pen was not good a good decision but the rules of the game state that. Should a penalty be awarded at the end of time it will be extended to take the Pen and then the game ends. Which is what happened.
