Agree, Paraguay were giving it all the time but cried foul when France gave some back.

Currently watching the Brazil vs Norway game from 1998 as a warm-up for tonight and it is refreshing to see a full 45 minutes where nobody pretended to be hurt !

Nice warm up.

I've just watched the All Ireland Hurling Semi Final, now there's a sport where no one pretends to be hurt:cheers:

And one of the playes just said "put the ball over the fuckin bar" in his post match interview. Everyone laughed, no presenter apologies yet. Refreshing, indeed haha
 
And in other World Cup news ... Folarin Balogun's suspension after the red card vs Bosnia has been changed to a suspended ban! You couldn't make this shit up. Infantino's FIFA is making up rules as we go. A "one year probation"? So that if the player does something wrong he can miss a Gold Cup qualifier rather than the World Cup round of 16?

I don't often quote rappers but now I have to. This shit is fuckin' ridiculous.

It was shown on national television. Arne Scheie really lost it at the end there.

As for today.. shaky first half, but to quote the US fans, I believe that we can win.
 
Seems like Brazil's approach of retreating into their own half when we control the ball has caught us a bit by surprise ... and they are dangerous on the counter. Ancelotti is a clever old fox.

Clearly their tactic. And we lose the ball too easily.
Hopefully we can get rid of those mistakes and we should get the ball more up to Haaland. He will decide this for us.
