Well I’m one of those people that prefers to see the best players playing and would like to see Germany carry on because I want to see some juicy ties in the knockouts. Need to sort out their CB’s but thought they squandered so many chances they will improve and I’m still in the work sweepstake :D

So you want Sterling to be dropped now ...................... make your mind up, Phil. ;)

If they get refs like this one think they will have no problems.

Germany may have been under par but they got the job done. Showed real fight to then end and were rewarded. I am glad to see that they are still in with a chance of qualifying for the knock out rounds.

Poor wall too you could see a mile off what was going too happen.

Agreed,if they had a proper wall it would have forced then to cross it.
Stupid free kick to give away he will be gutted for a long time about that.
Germany were pants and I would have loved them to be out.
I think they are not a force for winning the WC this time.

I see that the Serbian FA area spitting their dummies out over the handling of their match against Switzerland. Also allegations against the goalscorers for insulting gestures when they scored. Apparently the “double eagle” hand gesture is a sign in favour of ethnic Albanians who are marginalised in Serbia.

Not sure what the repurcussions will be for them but it could result in a short ban?

I didn’t realise that both Xhaka and Shaqiri were both descended from Kosovo and it’s appears the gesture is supposedly a defiance against Serbia. Can see a match ban for both

In other news this is brilliant from Senegal

It’s always going to be amusing seeing the VAR refs wearing full kits 😂 - wonder if they have boots on as well

Lovely goal by Stones.

Henderson needs to calm down a little, manage his emotions/energy in the heat.

When you remember the British teams were fined for wearing the Poppy as it was deemed to be political, I don’t believe FIFA have got any choice but to take action.
Shaqiri also had the Kosovo flag on his boots and there’s a total of 6 players with Kosovan/Albanian roots, after his goal Shaqiri was making the double eagle sign at the Serbian fans.
