World cup thread.

Was a bit annoyed that Oz v Peru was on the tele here and not France v Denmark. Turned out ok!
Penalty? No penalty? Gave the ref a decision to make. He made it. Perhaps on the soft side of comprehensive but it was a silly thing to do.
Wonderful to see the pundits disagreeing over a handball. I have seen those given, and penalties scored and missed from them. This is what keeps football so riveting to watch sometimes.
I didn't think it was a handball but the guys in the VAR room clearly though it was worth a look - and unlike last night the on field ref stuck to his guns.
Bit of a shame some of the decent overseas pundits don't stay for long leaving us in the end with the usual bland MOTD/ITV pundits although Shearer and Keane can have a strong opinion or two.

Imagine if Ighalo has scored one of the chances he had, he could have delivered Maradona to God's hand. Hope he recovers but not doing himself any favours at the moment.

I always fancied S Korea
What? All of them?
People have be asking which route we'd prefer but tbh I would not take anyone lightly or feel we cannot beat anyone .
Could mean we face Sweden or Switzerland in a 1/4 and you'd take that !

I'm very happy S. Korea won but their second goal was offside. Everyone was fooled by the keeper being upfield.
