Just because you watch him week in, week out as a Utd fan you’re wrong! Us other teams fans watch MOTD and live games on Sky, we know better

fair enough Dog & Duck V Red Lion for me then August 11th.....

CR7 has done it again. 4th goal of the tournament 4 minutes into the 2nd game. He's unreal.

Apparently Amrabat was knocked out cold last game. He started this game with a Petr Cech hat on, after 15 minutes he just took it off and threw it away. Is that wise I wonder? Should he be playing at all? More examples of how head injuries are treated in football.

 

[Dan2501]

Definitely shouldn't be playing so soon after suffering a TBI, but the head guard won't have been doing anything so not an issue he's got rid of it.

That Ronaldo bloke needs to show some composure Infront of goal..

Well I presume the purpose was to prevent a further knock causing increased damage.

Morocco have bossed this second half, but they don't look like they would ever score a goal in a month of Sundays.

There are a number of countries who get to World Cups each time who are technically very correct, pass the ball beautifully but as you say can not score for love nor money. If any of these teams, often North African and Middle East teams, ever get a goal scorer then they could do something. Until then they turn up, go out at the group stage, repeat in 4 years time.

Portugal not looking nowhere the team that played against Spain.

This is absolutely brilliant. Pretty much sums up Phil Neville.

Yep he is shocking - he makes Owen seem competent as a pundit. That is embarrassing for him

It’s nearly as embarrassing as Pepes dive and eve. Ronaldo throwing himself to the floor then demanding Var - that’s going to be as bad as the imaginary card waving

Those headguards work to prevent skull fractures, cuts and blood injuries but do nothing to prevent concussion so it was effectively useless given the nature of the head injury Amrabat sustained.

Nice to see a female commentating on a world cup match for the 1st time. Of course a strong female doing a role that men traditionally do coupled with the fact that is on the BBC is cat nip to the Daily mail comments section. Thank the lord she is not a Muslim or they may have self imploded....

For someone who likes to come across as open minded and support progression. You don't half like to pigeon hole others.....

So many unexpected DM readers.

Sterling looked good because he had Suarez to help him.
He's a player who looks better because of those around him, and when he is required to do more himself he falls over.

Sorted that for you.:thup:

In fairness a lot of the comments highlighted that her commentary was not great, not that she shouldn't be commentating because she is female.

In this age of equality I have no issues with females taking such roles, but they should be judged to the same standards as men. I didn't watch this game, but some of the female punditry to date has been pretty limited in terms of content and insight. If they are there they should be on merit, not to tick some boxes about equality (in my humble opinion).

The two female pundits I have seen so far have been very good - Ene Uloku ( no idea if that’s right ) has been very insightful and knowledgable , she was the lady that Larson and Evra clapped and then in the recent video with Phil Neville copying her word for word. Commentator though was pretty poor

 

[ColchesterFC]

I think Spain are my least favourite team so far this World Cup. Costa, Ramos and Busquets are all horrible snide players who like dishing it out but then squeal like stuck pigs whenever anyone comes near them. They aren't the only ones by any means but they are three of the worst.

I've seen her a few times and to me she always comes across really well. It's a shame they had her doing the silly cooking bit, but atm she's a breath of fresh air.
