Controversy here. Spain get a break. Knew the minnow wouldn't get the decision

Embarrassing,what are you on about.

You call them minnows but like Roy Keane said "cheating,faking.diving so called footballers,shameful.

As for Pepe and Ronaldo for the dive an absolute disgrace.
Some of the games in the knockout phase could be a cheat fest and a farce,shame really as its had a decent start to a world cup.

She is the first female commentator in a previously all male world, commentating on all male match so is bound to be highlighted. I'm not a fan, too shrieky, but to balance this I couldn't bear John Motson and find Jonathon Pearce equally painful. I turn over or press mute for all three.

She has broken the glass ceiling though so others will likely follow.

I am afraid I am similarly not a fan JO's commentary for the same reasons - but likewise find quite a few of the men really irritating. It's just something any commentator accepts as a fact/peril of the job - some folks will not like your voice and/or grammar. But in the eyes and ears (especially) of girls, JO may no doubt be an attractive breath of fresh air and that is what really matters.

Chaps, women do tend to have higher voices than men. If your objection to a woman in any role is limited to the tone of her voice, you are on difficult ground...

As stated early, I like Jacqui Oatley but not Vicki Sparks, so my quibble is not with all women's voices, it's with hers in particular. Both sexes are capable of having annoying voice tones and pitches.

Didn’t England produce more chances and play better in the first half and produce the best 20 mins of the World Cup so far in that first half ? So wouldn’t you want that team to be playing ?
Maybe because they missed about 4 golden chances to score?? You know, as we already discussed for the last 10 pages. Christ.

All missed by Lingard weren’t they ?

So the team are creating lots of chances , dominating the match so again why demand the changes that’s been rumoured - can understand Alli who be injured but then to want someone who has spent the whole season missing chances and struggling ?

Why are you bringing it all up again? We all discussed at great length how many of us would prefer Rashford to Sterling and for what reasons.

Here you go, I'm not repeating myself, just read this again:

And when it was mentioned by a couple of posters that Sterling was on the pitch and playing well during the that best period it was ignored , also when someone mentioned Rashford not taking chances and being poor throughout the season it was also ignored - but then I guess you have let Southgate know what you have decided. Will be interesting to see how you react if Rashford struggles it doesn’t produce anything.

Thankfully I reckon that Southgate is only going to make changes if someone is injured.

Rather than discussing Sterling's ineptitude for a further 10 pages let's move on...

That was a cracking goal from Denmark there. Excellent assist as well as a fantastic finish. I cannot for the life of me work out why both teams are wearing away kits though - short of manufacturers' contract demands of course. Red & yellow don't clash, yet they've gone for green v white instead. Bizarre.

Brilliant start for Denmark. Fantastic goal that, Eriksen is as good an attacking midfielder as anyone in the world and that finish proved it, made it look so easy.

I really like this Denmark team. So much talent. The two wide men are two young players to watch. Both starters for their respective teams, bags full of potential and physical talent. Jorgensen is a good front-man but on the bench they've got another young gun in Kasper Dolberg. He is going to be a star without doubt, and has already seen interest from United and Real Madrid, he's going to be awesome. Then at the back Andreas Christensen is going to run the defence for years to come. For a 22 year old he's already very, very good. There are a few gaps in the squad (such as at right back) but they've got an exciting group of players.

Given that he himself is injured, who should replace Southgate?

Serious question. This is the World Cup! We cannot be carrying anyone with injuries or not 100% fit. Might need to bring back Big Sam.

They're about half a good team really. They have Kasper, Christensen and Kjaer at the back so pretty solid there. Eriksen is class, but the rest of the attack and midfield is probably a bit lacking. Heard good things about Sisto as you say, not really seen him play. If Eriksen isn't firing then I think the goals dry up for them.

Shame they lost Bendtner to injury really. They would have been more fun to watch with him up top!

It was actually you that raised the subject again by posting the link, be careful what you wish for, Loftus-Cheek couldn’t produce it at a big club and Rashford has struggled all season.
