No. I just presumed it would lapse into racism frankly. I watch the match and turn straight off.

He's not very wrong here. Racism / chauvinism / disdain for Middle Eastern people did, I think, inform the studio discussion. Funny that, when UK soccer is so loudly committed to inclusion and no room for discrimination.

I think just one passing comment about the quality of the first goal which was an absolute belter.

is there a short answer as to why Bale is playing in LA? Has he really fallen off that much? He’s only 33!

Money

Ireland feeling very seen by this also

Tell me about it.

If you think Bale has fallen off consider Ramsey, he may as well retire now.

I'm just grateful "the likes of" Stoke and Barnsley was used rather than Hudds

in Wayne Hennessey's defence he's never heard of Denial of a Goalscoring Opportunity before, he'd love to learn about it

Nice header

Senegal v Iran would be cool.

2-1!

Excitement over: 3-1

he essentially spent the last three years of his Madrid contract playing golf

Could be Senegal - England. Eng will be overhyped but Senegal are fine and it will be a game.

Senegal fans can't stop dancing, this BBC commentator says.

The Iran match is why I get utterly annoyed with US fans.

They were all "well let's just maybe try not to lose too badly to England on Friday, then we'll just destroy Iran and hopefully beat Wales on goal differential if they beat Iran too".

I mean not that I put a lot of stock in FIFA rankings but technically Iran is #20.

earlier when klinnsmann said Iran were playing the ref and gabby logan cued up some clips with " you could call it gamesmanship or perhaps at home you might call it something else" then they played the clips and it was just completely normal happens twenty times a game stuff. just scraping the barrel. anyway hope Wales get knocked out tho I suppose they could be playing an already qualified let's make sure harry kane isn't broken england in the last match

Klinsmann would know all about gamesmanship, of course

find the netherlands p boring to watch but I'd love lvg to win a world cup

Klinsmann is a total brown noser when he appears on British TV.

anyway hope Wales get knocked out tho I suppose they could be playing an already qualified let's make sure harry kane isn't broken england in the last match

Pretty sure we'd still lose against an English third team

neymar out 2 games with an ankle injury. thought last night even before the injury that he kinda runs like someone who's been kicked too many times.

or managing to injure himself to often while feigning injury

Case of the Bolsonaros, these fascists are always ending up in hospital.

Lol that was quick

Calzino: your Stokes, your Barnsleys.

Poster Bravo is correct: Logan made snide comments about the supposedly nasty Iranians but there was nothing bad to see.

No room for racism. Football is for everyone. Sending out an ever important message about why there is no place for discrimination, anywhere.

Neymar must be one of the most widely disliked 'top, top players' in history?

Ecuador playing some good stuff after conceding

That back heel nearly came off

That goal should've stood?

Deflection made it offside I think

Didn't think he was affecting play but it is the rule

Game on!

So close to going ahead here

Dutch have their hands full

Yeah they look shook

why not put the damn flag up there ffs, he was 4 yards off

Yeah, ridiculous

Complete disingenuous shit, like obviously FIFA wasn't asking linesmen to wait to put up the flag on literally every offside.

But yet again another fun effect of VAR

Ecuador deserve to win this

i just tuned in and this is boring as shit

It's gone a bit cagey in the last little period

it’s not “cagey” if neither side can hold onto the ball for more than 5 passes

If a downed player is clearly conscious play on ffs

ya, i definitely wouldn't mind lvg winning a cup. a draw would mean both teams would have the exact stats, and i think both teams would win their next matches, so this will be interesting

xxp: lol it is the end of the game, they are worn out a bit.
