this wasn't lee seung-woo but kim shin-wook! BBC had wrongly matched names and numbers; clearly the subterfuge continues

there are about five Kims in the squad, but it's always amateur hour at the beeb.

Granqvist 12 in a season in Holland, though I guess most people score 12 in a season in Holland at some point or other.

this is the first game where I've bailed, I already have enough memories of L1 football to draw on without reliving the experience.

Danish commentators sure that Sweden played really well today and that Scandinavia in general is doing a great job so far. Lol.

Well, yeah, but Scandinavian teams did pretty well in the 40's. Helped not having all young men killed in war.

soz about Cavaleiro, NV. But I'm totally psyched!
― calzino, Monday, 18 June 2018 14:29 (five years ago) link
this time last year i'd've said he wasn't Prem class tbh, but he dug in and contributed a lot last season, i'll miss him if he goes but it's not like he won't be replaced and he deserves regular game time wherever he ends up
― The Savic Detectives (Noodle Vague), Monday, 18 June 2018 14:33 (five years ago) link
when he's on it he totally adds excitement to the team

Hoping Belgium will be the first team to really show it's class. It's been a classless tournament so far, at least from the big guns.

Mexico were pretty class

Spain and Portugal had to play one another, which must've helped them to wake up.
Too many of the major countries are doing *checks notes* though I am enjoying all I've seen because its the world cup after all.

Someone said it's already the longest we've gone since '86 without a red card yet. Usually had at least one 0-0 by now too.

P sure this won't be 0-0 by the looks of it

i think VAR should give yellows for schwalbes too.

Strong possibility this group could be decided by goal difference so I can see Belgium being relentless.
