The refs making some odd decisions for sure.

Which one? Croatia? Because he dived, looked like a well dodgy dive and completely unnatural from the challenge from the morocco player

Never a dodgy dive but a very dodgy decision by the ref and VAR.

Cosimo · 17 Dec 2022 at 16:42

Week ref, he should be booking them for the pushing.

You have to admire a nation the size of Wales that has managed two thirds and a runner up in the last 7 world cups.

Once Morris retires they will struggle to come close to that. He’s 90% of their quality. The rest of the team is decent and hard working but he is magic even at this age.

Luke Morris, his lesser known brother from Huddersfield.

Var is available and still odd decisions.

I hope Messi has the game of his life today, unreal pressure though.

I hope he's sent off and misses a penalty

Southgate stays. Yay :rolleyes:

Converge · 18 Dec 2022 at 11:11

I’m torn as I bet on France to win weeks ago, but would like Messi to win and rub it in Ronaldo’s face. Not that I’m a bitter Utd fan or anything.

Shamikebab · 18 Dec 2022 at 11:40

I'm pretty neutral, one United player each. I think the only thing that might lean me towards France is Argentina have been kind of ****** in behaviour, especially in the Netherlands match.

Interesting stat just on Talksport, Southgate has faced teams ranked in the top 10 of the world 24 times. Won 4.

The point is that his side are facing top teams at QF, SF and finals ... unlike the old days (mostly)

Shamikebab · 18 Dec 2022 at 12:17

And yet we did better or equal to all but the eventual finalists out of the top 10.

turbot1984 · 18 Dec 2022 at 12:22

Big choice on BBC or ITV today? Dunno who is with Linneker, Klinsmann? Who else?
Gotta say I have warmed to Souness this tournament, for the first time.

Shamikebab · 18 Dec 2022 at 12:25

Not really a big choice is it? Got to be BBC

You may be right ... four and half hour ITV coverage is a shed load of ads ... no Keano and Wrighty though?
