    Stats don’t lie

    He’d have had a hatful if he’d played for France

    Shit Poland team

      Mbappe is fucking amazing.

      Two screamers vs Poland, on top of speed, ball control.

      The complete package

          Good game so far. Ref letting things go a little. England clinical and score.

            Walker should have been YC

            Great move and finish

            But very much against the run of play

              What is impressive about the African nations is their pace and strength. I expected them to kick on more from the nineties but probably an economic and infrastructure problem.

                      He started quietly but good there: no idea how foden wasn’t in the earlier starting XIs, he’s been excellent for MC this year so far.

                        Some generous timekeeping from the ref there. Senegal needed to foul on halfway to break up that fast break.

                          Cane looks better as a holding player rather pushing all the way forward. He’s had a great spell in the last 20.

                            Watching this WC for the first time and despite England going 3 up with some good goals, the game is not grabbing me. Seems all a bit negative to me and by the cringe the comms blokes are completely Barry White. It’s like they’re just not that interested, plus they’re all boring, monotonal half wits.

                            Classic example: You can’t relax against any of these teams left, they’re all full of internationals.

                            Really? Wouldn’t have thought that.

                              of course, we get that all the time, this was the first time ive heard anyone go as far as allowing for the curve of the ball rather than just contact at ground level

                              Who didn't know the rule?

                              In soccer the line is in.

                              It's just those who want the rule to be wrong.

                              as i say, id (and lots of other apparently) never seen an example where we can clearly see grass on the other side of the line and it still be call in due to the curve of the ball, not saying it was the wrong call, just saying there are a lot of people that didn't know that was taken into consideration and so for those people...at first glance...it was a mile out

                                One of students tried that this morning, ‘I know I’m late to your class but part of my body was inside the University at the start of class, so I’ m not really late’.

                                That earned a fantastic reception from the class.
                                I laughed.
                                Then marked the little fluffybunny late.

                                    Indeed. England have looked pretty good in their last two games.

                                    However, France must be favourites. They just have the real quality and star power which wins these tournments. England will need to play greater than the sum of their parts.

                                    If England do manage to get through it, they do have a real shot at winning the thing.

                                      @MajorRage agree. Although if they have a good defense in front of them and are not able to dominate the midfield, that may throw a spanner in the works. The US showed them up in the midfield. They certainly were clinical today though. They have the tools as does France. Both teams in the top 4 of the tourney.

                                          @broughie said in FIFA World Cup 2022:

                                          England France game is going to be tasty and one of the better teams will be going home early.

                                          Indeed. England have looked pretty good in their last two games.

                                          However, France must be favourites. They just have the real quality and star power which wins these tournments. England will need to play greater than the sum of their parts.

                                          If England do manage to get through it, they do have a real shot at winning the thing.

                                          @MajorRage France definitely favourites. Getting this far is a par performance for England

                                          The winner of this tie has a comparatively easy SF
