The Official World Cup Thread

[Skippyjack]

I’ve just been listening to them wondering the same thing. Crack is my guess.

Iwan Roberts posted on Twitter they're looking at the 2 penalties from the other night (which the ref gave mind) during a semi final FFS.. what are they watching, player nips the ball around the corner, keeper cleans him, clear pen

Alvarez has started 3 PL games this season.
Useful back up for Haaland.

I wasn't listening to the pundits, but I did think Alvarez initiated the contact to make sure he got a penalty if his shot didn't go in. Still a penalty though, even if the two ex-defenders don't like it.

The Croatian Kieffer Moore is on. Let’s see if it changes things

 

[Neath_Jack]

Not a penalty for me I'm afraid.

Is the keeper meant to just stand aside and let him stroll in? He went out to meet the Argie, spreading his arms and legs like you'd expect your keeper to do. Harsh for me.

Never a pen that not in a million years

This... Also keeper didn't deny him a goal scoring opportunity as the attacker had already shot for goal which was cleared by the defender. All it should of been was a yellow for the keeper

So it should have been a yellow for the keeper, but not a pen

Anyway, 3-0
This Messi feller looks good

Is there really still any debate around about Ronaldo being anywhere near Messi's class and quality.

The bloke is incredible.

 

[Pegojack]

I'm still confident my pick, France, will see off Mr Messi

That's why ronaldo was so upset , he knows messi winning a world cup will give him an advantage in the goat debate

Yes, most definitely.

Messi has had tidy tournament, Ronaldo hasn't.

Overall, Ronnie has had the best career I'd say.
