FIFA World Cup 2022

This ref is a ****ing joke

 

Grealish joins the party.

Another 10 min extra. 24 min in total.
Is that a record?

 

VAR useless as usual. Wilson mom for me for playing for the team and not himself.

 

My MOM was Bellingham

 

So was mine really. I just appreciated a player playing at the highest level who put the team before personal glory. Bellingham, and Saka, were outstanding.

 

Let's hope Josh was watching!

 

He starts!

 

Cometh the hour ........

Poor Josh just wants to touch the ball. Involved with some good forward play for the USA goal though.

 

Tough game for Josh, he was given no supply other than the cross early in where he hit the post.
Seemed to do a good job in cutting out passing lines but barely had the ball at his feet, he made several good runs but the ball never came

 

Yes, Josh ended up having to come deep for the ball and then lay it off to others. Good experience for him though. With England next will he get another start?

 

Didn't see much from Wales or USA to worry about in our next 2 games

 

Argentina 1 Saudi Arabia 2

Great performance

 

Yeah, thought Argentina were brill. Oh, my bad!!!

 

Dream start for the Aussies against France. Those pesky frogs found their fromage though and looked like they could have made the score line embarrassing.

 

Germany v Japan might be an interesting game today. Also keen to see what Canada can do against Belgium. Ismael Kone who was linked with Norwich for Hayden's spot might be on show for Canada.

 

Is there some football on?

 

Of sorts.

 

The British press raging about Mbappe. Were the French press raging about Bellingham? I bet not.

 

1. Germany 1-2 Japan - late goals from Asano and Doan see Japan come from behind to win
2. Four-time champions had led through Gundogan penalty

So much for the great Germany
