2022 World Cup.

I love a penalty shootout but Japan were pants!

I think they must have been watching some old England penalty shootouts for their training.

Woeful penalties from Japan. Just hit it!

They were awful

Even the one they scored was rubbish

 

[AmandaJR]

Surprised at Japan. Clearly their meticulous preparation still couldn't counteract the nerves in a penalty shoot out.

 

[Swinglowandslow]

Disgusting. Either the rule or the referee. How in hell is that a penalty?
The Korean didn’t even know he was there.mHeveas clearing the ball.

How can natural justice be turned on it’s head like this.?

 

[paddyc]

Joke of a decision. What is VAR doing not even giving the ref the chance to look at that.

 

[Golfmmad]

He certainly wouldn't have the pace to catch it if it went past him.

Surely any young English CB who is half decent must look at the England team and think theres the chance to cement a long term place in the team. There's no real outstanding candidates waiting to take over so with a bit of hard work could make that position their own for the next 5/10 years.

I would say Levi Colwil is an outstanding prospect.
I watched him play for Brighton in an FA Cup game recently. He didn't put a foot wrong and he's quick!

Oh my god

That is outstanding

Just wow

 

[Lord Tyrion]

Oh my god

That is outstanding

Just wow

Everton taught him everything he knows ?

Quality stuff, this could get messy for SK

 

[Imurg]

Well..if my Super 6 wasn't already shot to ribbons it certainly is now...
Whats the WC record score..

Lovely goal from paquata

 

[Swango1980]

Brazil maybe showing why they are favourites now

 

[backwoodsman]

Is it just me, or are the goal celebrations in this world cup becoming more time consuming and more irritating as the competion progresses??

 

[Swinglowandslow]

This referee ?.

 

[backwoodsman]

Brazil maybe showing why they are favourites now

Perhaps. But they don't seem to have much opposition in this game?

 

[fundy]

Brazil have been favourites all the way through this tournament. They have Fred in midfield. Would he even get into England squad? They have Richarlison up front, but he'd never keep Kane out of team at Spurs.

Would be interesting to know how many Brazil players would make England's starting line up? Casemiro maybe, though Rice seems to hold his own. Junior, although England have dangerous wide players, no matter how much we sometimes slag them off. Probably the keeper, although Pickford hasn't really let England down yet.

any advances?

What for, Oscars??

No, but you could probably say that any time a team is winning 4-0 at half time. Brazil have certainly shown quality on their part.

The biggest I ever saw was 9-0 in 1974 Yugoslavia - Zaire....not sure that is the record though. Think someone got 10 in more recent times.

 

[nickjdavis]

They are utterly ridiculous....all the subs running on to the pitch.....should be booked for encroaching the field of play without permission.

Or, as we saw tonight, the player running off and having a second celebration with the subs...pathetic....its like they think they've already won the bloody competition.
