Someone’s waking up tomorrow with a black eye

mono-stereo this is a farce

This ref has been a joke throughout. eg missing that Austria corner before the France goal, buying all the play-acting, booking Baumgartner when he won the ball before the keeper, missing France trying to make a sub.

    Yeah this crew shouldn’t see another game. Linesman on the far side has been awful too.

    Kante’s just played a season in a retirement league. No wonder he looks fresh.

      nicksneddon I’d take that left wing out and start with Watkins two up front with Kane coming bit deeper.
      Rice been playing that attacking left role for Arsenal too.Saka on right with Walker.

          mrrossi Theres nothing wrong with the formation hes just putting players in positions they aren’t going to excel in - which is absolutely ridiculous given the amount of firepower he has at his disposal

            Great game, just a shame that Georgia didn’t manage to get a deserved equaliser.

            BBC: Gary Lineker, Frank Lampard, a female commentator and Danny Murphy.

            RTE it is with onset dementia’s George Hamilton on commentary.

            Echo Kante’s just played a season in a retirement league. No wonder he looks fresh.

            Edit - nevermind. Read that as KANE. Disregard comments below. I’m a numpty!

            Amusing commentary considering arguably your best player in Bellingham just came out of the Bundesliga and the one that got away - Musiela - still plays there.

            The Bundesliga isn’t the Saudi league by any margin. Also, another thing to consider is the Bundesliga has qualified more teams to the Champion’s League next year than the Premier League.

            I may have some slight bias being a Bayern Munich fan, but it is a quality league.

                Along_the_Wire Fuck me, this Turkey versus Georgia game is an unexpectedly great game

                It was a cracking game. I suspect some of the Georgian players will be receiving better contracts in this summer’s transfer market.

                Czechia so far are absorbing wave after wave of Portugual’s attack, but I feel like a goal is coming. After the first game today, this is a snooze.
