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

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.
