Well we have an incentive after today’s games.
Win the group we play Senegal. Come second the Netherlands.
Go for it Gareth. 😃😃

If he doesn’t play him because he either unbalances the team or because of his defending why is he in the squad and not at home in the fog and the cold like the rest of us?

If there is any fun to be had Eq v Sen is the game to watch. There have been a few tasty tackles and lots of players rolling around already.
The drumming is a pain but the rhythm dancing support is impressive. They haven’t stopped!🤪

The fact is the FIFA international rule committee made a complete mess of the handball rule a few seasons ago, making it more complicated for no reasonable reason.
The original rule which had been unchanged for many years stating If a player INTENTIONALLY handles the ball etc, etc. was fine.
I suspect that last night’s Referee did not want to give the penalty, but was given little or no choice by the VAR officials. When viewing the screen he could be Clearly seen having an animated conversation on his mike, and his body language and facial expression returning to the pitch leads me to this suspicion.
I am sure a heated analysis will be held post match with a lot of buck passing . The problem is VAR and who is reffing the match? The referee or the faceless officials upstairs watching numerous screens in Slow Mo!
I know who I think it should be.

I understand why but it’s a shame that both games are on at the same time as this could potentially be a good game.
Never the less I will watch the England match.
For anybody who interested it is being shown on BBC2.

Just been reading about National Grid peak demand worries around 6/7 pm, and the French unable to provide their normal supply. Bloody Frogs. Thought you were supposed to bobbing around outside Greece? Weather out there not good at this time of year. Plus dare I mention it Brexit limits us to 90 days. 😀⚓️

Yes, thought this might get going a bit more. Seems a lot of the big teams are taking a very nervous approach to things. Or, they are not actually as good as everyone assumes they are. Beginning to wonder that myself. May get a flash of genius later?

Well after 37 mins nothing to say.
No Shaq he’s on the bench. Pretty boring so far.
Edit . Sorry there is another thread but it was so far down the page because no one has posted since before KO

BRecently watched Once upon a Time in America, on Amazon Prime.
Almost four hours long and I thought it was stunning.
May well rewatch it in the new year.

The goal keeper was all over the place.

I would say considerably more than Collins.
I would say enough to pay for a striker and a goalkeeper. If we can find any ?

Sterling can be dangerous.
Last night England rarely played the ball down the left hand side. On numerous occasions there was acres of space with Sterling and a midfielder un marked and unused whilst the right wing was overcrowded and unproductive.
Tip tapy across the back three right to left, left to right was useless with very few decisive passes forward.

The media love in for Bale should be over.
Two poor games for me. And some how he Man of the Match in the first game. !

Not to many comments on this thread, possibly due to the standard of refereeing which has been fairly good, and no major controversy until today.
Today’s official in the Wales game had his hands full, and in my opinion was below par.
Needing VAR to decide the sending off was absurd. He initially showed a lack of bottle. Then I suspect one of seven (😂) VAR officials told to show some balls.

For me it’s been a good first half and as a neutral enjoyable.
Credit to Serbia. Has the makings of a exciting second half.
Thought the Ref handled it well.
