    Polish keeper looks to see where the ball is going before feigning injury. Urgh.

    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

    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.

    @Crucial or how few people knew the rule, that does seem a bit ridiculous though

    No different from the NFL where they talk about the ball crossing the plane of goal

    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
