USA running rings round us. England need a rethink if we’re in with a chance in this tournament.
The defense have been shocking and the midfield anonymous. Gareth needs to try something a lot sexier and riskier after half time to liven things up, perhaps Rashford for Kane, Grealish for Mount and TAA for Stones. Let’s not look back tomorrow and regret not using the talent on the bench. Time to be brave.

England haven't won any of their last five World Cup matches when the game has been nil-nil at HT, with their last such victory coming against Ecuador in the 2006 Cup.
If the USA had a lethal world-class calibre striker like Harry Kane in their side, England would be 0-2 down now.

R65 I mean, it's a class issue. Professional soccer is exclusively bourgeois here, unless you're an immigrant. Immigrants cheer for their home countries' teams so that just leaves upper middle class twats for Team USA. They're polite people and they don't want to be rude or demeaning to their competitors. It ends up being much ruder and more obnoxious I guess.
Also, I know this isn't true elsewhere, but soccer is a children's sport here and adult men who are into soccer here are presumed to be childish. Not fair and often not true.... but they're doing elementary school pep rally cheers at the World Cup right now. Embarrassing!

The difference between Ronaldo and Messi is that Ronaldo has a huge ego. He is all about himself. He doesn't care about the rest of the team, he just wants to score all of the goals himself. I've heard rumors that the rest of the team hate him, no wonder if that's true. Meanwhile Messi actually wants others to succeed, he doesn't care who scores as long as the team wins. He had an assist yesterday, he didn't score, he gave the ball to Fernadez who then scored.

If you think about how Achraf was born in Spain and Hakim was born in the Netherlands, and they were good enough that both could've played for those countries, YET they both chose Morocco, and they fought and lost in Afcon, and they fought to make a name for themselves together for the nation of the hearts & ancestry, and then they DID that despite the cost to their credibility and the risks. They both made their ways to bigger international clubs with big names, but still never got to be the heroes in the biggest tournament...and then finally finally finally, they get this perfect moment of victory with each other...the intimacy of shared dreams....excuse me I am SOBBING

I'm usually anti Uruguay due to Luis Suarez but that penalty against them was harsh. It was impossible to say the defender was intentionally hand balling it. It was plausible he was falling down and the hand was in a natural position.

I am shocked that they overruled the refs initial call which was fair, he knew it was not intentional and only happened during the players fall which was beyond his control.
Ronaldo was pissed at having missed a penalty shot.

I thought the intent of VAR was to overturn obvious mistakes. When it's still ambiguious on replay, the original call should stand. In this case, the replay didn't conclusively show the ref was wrong.

The handball rule has become a complete fucking mockery of itself. We’ve moved from “don’t deliberately handle the ball in the box” to “just stop having hands and arms. You’re in the box? Have you considered just detaching your limbs? Any even slight accidental contact even when you couldn’t ever possibly even SEE the ball or know where it is WILL be judged as you deliberately handling the ball to stop an attacking chance. Trying to prevent yourself from falling? Tough shit bitch break your bones we’ve removed that rule from the rule book. Thought football was becoming less subjective? Hahahahahahahahahahahaha”.

Ecuador and Uruguay are the embarrassing flops of the tournament. They have both been shit. I wish someone else took their places, like Chile and Colombia, my two favorites.
