Not on that performance but I thought in the opening group games Croatia looked a good side with attacking intent. If they go back to that style of playing they can match most other sides

Come on mate, I expect better from you than to pull that line out of the bag 😁

i am under the impression you can’t tackle through his legs from behind , so how is that a genuine attempt to play the ball.

I didn't mean for England, I meant generally. Nothing on display yesterday was impressive.
It is a commentators line though, fair point 😁

Why aren't refs clamping down on goalkeepers coming off their line at penalties? That said, it's more exciting when there are saves!

They have VAR, it's a simple line decision, like offside. They should review every kick. It would only take 15 secs. It's too big an advantage when the keeper is two yards off his line.

Good weekend of footy. Well, Saturday was great. France v Argies and Portugal v Uruguay were both excellent games. Hopefully Cavani is fit for the next round, as without him Uruguay are substantially weaker and I can't see them getting past France.
I didn't watch Spain Russia as I was out playing golf, luckily though we were back in in time to watch the penalties. Koke's missed one was poor, Aspas' wasn't great either. I turned Croatia Denmark on ten minutes in, and had missed both the goals obviously. Modric missing his pen in extra time was annoying as I had him in fantasy league. He had some stones to step up and score in the shootout though. Fair play to him - and to Subasic and Schmeichel who both made some outstanding saves in the shootout.

Football is inherently dishonest.
Constant appealing for throw ins when it is clear the ball was put out by your own team, Moving the ball forward for free kicks (when not sprayed by the ref), the wall creeping forward every blooming time, kicking the ball away when the oppo gets a free kick, diving, feigning injury, constantly arguing and swearing at the officials etc
It’s infuriating.

Why does Martinez have prob the best attacking midfielder in world football sitting so deep and pretty much playing a holding type roll ? What a waste of talent - he should be higher up the pitch closer to Hazard and Lukaku doing what he does best

Yes it would really benefit from some punch ups and eye gouging. Bit of raking with studs would be good.
