2022 World Cup.

[Lord Tyrion]

Are we allowed to celebrate if Saudi Arabia beat Argentina or would that be considered sportswashing?

We will do it quietly

On the added time issue. Everyone is loving it but from a practical point of view it will cause mayhem for fans trying to catch buses, trains etc back in the UK if they bring this level of extra time for domestic fixtures. You are looking at 20-25 minutes extra per game. That could be carnage for an 8pm match. Let's hope the message gets through and teams clean up their act.

Games like this are exactly the reason why those who say the so called lesser nations should not be at the World Cup are wrong.

Yes, much of the time they will be uncompetetive and get drubbed, but just on the odd occasion, one will come up with a performance the players can tell their grandkids about...and no footballer should be denied that opportunity.

Simply magical.

The issues more about TV programs overrunning, long time since game going fans were taken into account

In all seriousness, its doing a great job of highlighting the problem, not so much the solution. Ideally as you say it needs to be eradicated from the game, more likely we see trials on ball in play for an hour or similar

33/1 pre match and matched at 1000 omn Betfair when behind. Biggest shock in recent world cup history and possibly ever?

nah....USA 1 England 0 is still the biggest shock.

Senegal 1 France 0 not far behind...this one (Saudi Arabia)possibly of a similar level along with Cameroon beating Argentina in 1990

 

[fundy]

Same comms who were saying how important it is to get off to a flying start after England won 6-2 now saying its not that important losing the first game as long as you still qualify lol

I got a £5 free bet which I put on the wrong outsider. Should have backed Saudi Arabia instead of Iran ;-(

Who is winning in a fight ?

Mind boggling how a referee stop’s play for the softest of fouls and when a player nearly gets decapitated he waves play on.

Agreed and the keeper was gesticulating for play to stop BUT same keeper had been at it all game feigning injury etc so that's part of the issue with such cheating - boy who cried wolf and all that.

 

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

Can’t be a***d with Hartson’s inanities…?

And ITV pay to have him out there?

 

[Swango1980]

In first half, Schmeichel made a decent one on one save, where his outstretched arm saved it. Decent save and all that. Hartson called it "possibly the best save he has ever seen"

That may be the exaggeration of the World Cup

 

[Orikoru]

If Denmark had one even half-decent striker they'd be a good side.

First half he proved himself to be the only person involved in football who still doesn't know that the referees are told to keep the flags down until the chance is played out. Embarrassed for him.
