reckon there's been a directive to refs to hand out fewer cards, has been really noticeable that things you'd assume are automatic yellows have just been fouls. and the initial yellow for hennessy!

eh maybe so, still last two tournaments were if anything over achievements so maybe managers don't matter

Think Eng are definitely having periods of attacking less, trusting youth maybe a bit less. Draws were kind to Eng as well in those tournaments.

yeah they had softish runs in both those tournaments, Southgate's unmitigated cowardice will not win a trophy

jackson irvine's hair/moustache combo has gotten him out of about 3 bookings in the one and a bit games so far lol
I've just noticed he played for Celtic for three years - made one appearance. Also another one who played for Scotland at under-19 level.

I know not all Eng support is like this but please lose to Senegal or Ecuador in the Round of 16.

Went “Mark Viduka? I haven’t heard that name in years,” and ended up on his Wikipedia page, where I learned that he runs a coffee shop in Zagreb now, and that he and Luka Modrič are cousins.

This is unbelievable… Watch @J_Klinsmann dismiss brown athletes, from Iran to Guatemala, repeatedly saying “this is their culture”, while the host and other guests are sitting there listening to him go on and on, live on @BBCSport.pic.twitter.com/RgOR3b1sr0— Negar Mortazavi نگار مرتضوی (@NegarMortazavi) November 26, 2022
Again have to agree with this, though I quite like JK.

If Poland win what a pressure-cooker ARGMEX should be. So stoked for that.

This is also a better game now.

Credit to FRA. DEN looked dangerous at moments, it could have gone the other way. But unless DEN can beat AUS they are going home.

AUS-DEN will come down to which side can show the greater sense, or perhaps even sensibility

Argentina not really impressing so far, wouldn't be surprised if Mexico score.

Fingers crossed, it would be hilarious if the pre-tournament favourites went out.
― Oh wouldn't it be rubbery? (Tom D.), Saturday, 26 November 2022 19:25 (one year ago) link
If Arg draw and beat Poland they meet France.
France aren't as good as 2018 to me. It will probably be good enough to beat Argentina. Unless they improve.
If they improve now surely they beat Mex.

Argentina have scrapped their way into the game but look well short of form still
― this display name blocked by FIFA (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 26 November 2022 19:51 (one year ago) link
I was under the impression Brazil and France were the favourites
Argentina are shockingly poor though

Couple of really nasty tackles in the first half, wonder if Roy Keane has any funny comments to make about those.
