I’m going to do some work and a TrainerRoad session instead of watching this. It’s that bad.

Is VAR only being used for the bigger nations at the WC? The Ronald pen against Ghana, how the Ref and Lino saw that as a clear cut pen was amazing, not even a VAR check.
Qatar should have had a pen in their 1st half against Senegal, but again no VAR check.

It all goes down to the subjective nature of refereeing and subjective definition of "clear and obvious error".
I'm guessing the Ronaldo penalty would only have been overturned by VAR if it showed that there was zero contact between the defender and Ronaldo.
Since there was contact (however minimal) it moves it away from "clear and obvious error" no matter how much you disagree with the decision.

That was a cracking game. Ecuador looked properly up for it and, after an unconvincing start, bossed the rest of the game for me.

Not sure I can watch Stones passing to Maguire and back for another 70 minutes.

2 successive long goal kicks from Pickford.
He must be as dismayed as you. -

What's the cost of England squad vs cost of US squad?
Also Pickford and Maguire are cartoon characters:)

That was utter shite, wasn't it? Iran made us look good. Can see the USA edging this.

England need to quicken up. USA playing well.

Don't know the totals, but Eng have a £50m fullback on the substitutes bench.
-
• #163088
Yes. A terrible half of football.
I know you like to put the mockers on but think you are right this time. -

Southgate is one boring fucking man.
Wealth of attacking talent. Probably the most in the tournament and he’s settling for 0-0 and making Saka look like he never wants to play football again.

You'd think wew were playing Brazil.

Good boy Mason though, runs around so much.
-
• #163093
This is reminiscent of matches in World Cups after Eng have had someone sent off, endless defence.
-
• #163094
That’s what’s need a 32 year old holding midfielder.
-
• #163095
Kane is done at international level now.
-
• #163096
Give over
-
• #163097
Lol. Tbh probs has another couple in central midfield.

“Long as we don’t lose”
Doesn’t win knock out games very often

Only 4 added mins coz nothing happened in the match. ZZzzzzz. So ponderous and slow USA set up well though.
Lot of empty seats again.
