The Football.....

Argentina continuing to be pretty hopeless this evening.

First game I think I've seen with a bit of real passion.

Passion. You mean how they roll around as if they have been shot by a sniper in the stands. Got to laugh at anytime a arm/hand goes anywhere near their beautiful faces they drop to the floor clutching their face with two hands. Then we see the close up . . . embarrassing.
I think they should show the ' assault ' on the big screen. Let everyone laugh at the injured party. It spoils the game. It slows the game down. It is cheating.

Make it an automatic booking; that will stop it instantly

Anyone who gets ’injured’ has to leave the pitch for 10 minutes to undergo a thorough health check so as to ensure their life-threatening injuries are just in the mind before returning to the game.
Also, as it used to be in rugby (when I last played in the ‘90s) ONLY the captain is allowed to speak to the referee.

Nothing new, Francis Lee for example.

Blimey.....is he still going

This is hard going between Costa Rica and Japan...

So much so I went out and tidied up the front garden.

There have been some pretty drab affairs. Still, Costa Rica winning means that group is wide open!

I was kind of expecting that the first week.
Final game frenzy from Tuesday with same time kick off's should sort all that out

 

[AndyRM]

Oh dear Thibaut... Fool me once...

 

[The Central Scrutinizer]

Two games in and Belgium 🇧🇪 looking pretty unimpressive

 

[Grant Fondo]

Big upset this if it stays 1-0 ... Belgos have got Croatia next.

Very un-Courtois like, what's goin on?

It was lovely of the commentators to remind us that the last time Morocco won at the World Cup was against Scotland in 1998.
