No Irish, No Yanks, No Clogs - FIFA World Cup 2018

senegal penalty?

I don't think he got the ball...?

He did

hard to tell from the radio tbh

From close up, yes, he did.

Four years ago that's a penalty AND a red

Viva VAR etc

spicy game

love that bobbling bunch of green shirts amidst the sea of yellow in the stand opposite main camera

Who are these players and what have they done with colombia from sunday night

That was totes a penalty BTW, "touched the ball" be damned

I'm willing to give the tackle credit

Steamed James.

JR just got Pekerman'd

Was that tactical, we were too busy talking shit? Rodriguez looked pissed if so

kick out the james, pekermekers

Pekerman trying to exotcise Riquelme demons?

You just accidentally invented quite a cool idiom

U may have seen the riquelme demons play at a small to medium sized north london gig venue, the islington hope and anchor, or the electric ballroom for instance

Senegal would be on fire if they had one forward who could pick the right pass in the box

No I mean to exoticise one's demons - to repeat a mistake, but even more grandly

Is that mrs valderrama

Sounds like poland have been mince, which ratchets up the tension in samara a bit more

Colombia maybe woke up a little those last 10 minutes, hope they come out a bit more lively 2nd half

Lawrenson is doing the poland game btw, can only imagine the black cloud of negativity engulfing the volgograd stadium

Feel that if Colombia can get into the lead, they'll keep it, even tho Senegal have been the better. Final ball's been poor, hard to see them scoring against a massed defence.

Five rolls there!

We just noticed Lawro doing the other game which reinforced the decision to watch this one

Although well done imago for channeling him there ;)

lol

Nothing else is happening! <<<still Lawro

oh japan

Poland should let Japan win!

A goal for either sen or col now puts the other back in third

Jpn beating sen in fairplay I think

Where is Lewandowski in the list of best strikers of the last ten years to not score at a World Cup (if he doesn't)?

so japan go through if any of japan, senegal or colombia score one goal, but at the moment they're out

Yes, Japan have had four yellow cards, Senegal six.

Would be interesting to see a study of general racial bias when handing out bookings (not just in the World Cup).

Lol can open, worms everywhere

Basic truth bomb imo

Before we get into the rhetoric of punditing "cheats v good honest pros"

Nooooo!

japan getting bailed out lol

lol at the senegal player just standing there on the near post

How many times has mané slipped over today?

bananamané beskinned

Senegal all fire no aim

Seems a lack of urgency in other game, don't think senegal are going to get bailed out here

Too many yellow fucking cards. What way to run a railroad.

senegal going out in stoppage time, passing triangles in their own box
