Will they? Got back in the game with a dodgy penalty.

1. It was a stonewall penalty.
2. They were cheated of a player due to a Scottish dive.

I'd feel cheated.

Some laugh at some of the big scores in the women's game.

Yet tonight, 3 teams have scored 7, and Portugal got 9 the other day

...and one of them was Wales!!!

The dodgy part of it was Robertson's challenge. Very poor.

He'll we a thoroughly relieved chap tonight.

Contact with the player wasn’t on the line. Robertson’s body was but the contact with the player wasn’t.

The contact was knee to upper leg. And Robertson leg was vertical. It very much looked on the line at least, from the camera I saw

As much as Robertson's tackle was awful, his interview was pure class.

We’ll have to agree to disagree. Against England you’d be raging.

England would have already been three up.

Depends if Bellingham was starting

Very poor game imo.
But a cracking watch great last 10 mins.
But three worldie goals.

Thought the ref was poor you can’t guess on a penalty .
His foots on the line but he catches him with his other knee.

Thats not even a foul never mind a second yellow.

Sometimes we forget that players are still humans with hearts and the affect of losing Jota as a friend and a teammate will be having some affect on them all

I've a feeling you have a hatred towards referees

Only bad ones.

I think he makes a good point really. Firstly, there are too many teams in it now obviously, as we've all discussed already. But if you are going to add places it should be favouring Europe, where the teams on the whole are better. I've just checked the Asian section, and it appears Uzbekistan and Jordan have qualified. In the North American section - Curacao and Suriname have qualified. New Zealand have qualified by beating such titans as Fiji and New Caledonia. He's quite right to say it looks like 7 out of 10 South American teams will be in, which is ridiculous. Meanwhile solid European teams like Italy, Poland and Turkey are still not guaranteed to be in it.

I'm fairly confident this will be the worst World Cup ever.

No sooner were we talking about the number of minnows in the world cup now, even Scotland manage to make it in. This is out of hand.

Sometimes the diddy teams can do things that surprise their most ardent but sceptical supporters.

Curacao get a draw against Jamaica and are going to the World Cup. Steve McLaren’s has resigned. However Jamaica have got another shot at qualifying through playoffs, although it is a tough ask. But McLaren won’t manage them through the play offs

 

[Lord Tyrion]

Well, hopefully

That's strange. Surely you would stay until the paly offs are over. If you fail then, then you resign.

I think it has not gone down well. Oddly enough he tried to get Mason Greenwood to play for Jamaica.

Never knew he was there.

Have now got a mental image of him with a Jamaican accent to match his Dutch one.
