Really hope Ferran gets at least one major contribution in the knockout rounds. He’s been absolutely torn to shreds back home for his form recently and you could see how desperate he was for that one chalked off goal to be counted the other day.
It’s wild how quickly club form is forgotten at these tourneys. He had a by all accounts pretty damn good season for Barcelona, too.
Good job he picked fucking Chalobah to replace Livramento, instead of an actual full back, just because he knows him.
Hard not to feel sorry for the Iranian players. They’ve been totally screwed over. ‘This must never happen again’: Iran coach hits out at the US and tells Infantino to stand up against hosts
..are they? Genuinely, I don’t know but I was wondering why the normal 8pm slot here wasn’t being used.
Nope, lol. It’s just completely dead space. Absolutely no reason these games couldn’t have been 12-3-6 or 3-6-9 EST.
Nice to see common sense prevail RE Rice. Playing through the pain barrier not required for a game like tonight, without disrespect to Panama.
Rashford can’t dribble past a single defender, Rogers is anonymous, and Saka doesn’t look fit. These are not the problems of a team that wins a World Cup.
