Yes. I realise that. I just think if they ban keepers from moving off the goal line, then the taker should be banned from doing a stutter or actually stopping.

[obelisk]

It's an air-conditioned stadium. There's no need for a 3 minute break but those ads have to be inserted somewhere.

Ah so the pass back to keeper allows opposition to double press and that let's a player unmarked the keeper passes to player who passes to the now un marked player who plays out for an attacking move forward. 

Not sure Saints did that too much, especially with Bazunu

just muting Emma hayes

She’s there to state the bleeding obvious. Fucking pointless. If she had a cock, she wouldn’t have the gig…… Although on second thoughts, it’s not beyond the realms of possibility that she has….

Doesn't help she looks like she does. If she looked like this...

Did someone turn the hospital trolley round the wrong way? 

[East Kent Saint]

They said on the commentary that all games had to have the hydration breaks so everyone would be treated the same !

An awesome first quarter in this soccer ball tie 

team UK look awesome on the offensive I think with the outside flankers they have Kane can get some head shots in maybe get a couple more conversions 

Good play in the in-zone.

Didn't usa last time had world cup wanted to devide pitch into quarters and points for corners

'96 Gazza moment...

[AlexLaw76]

Madueke is a greedy bastard. 

[RedArmy]

Madueke has got to drive into the box there. 

[egg]

Madueke goes from having a final ball to not having a clue the next. Infuriating player.

Good goal that. 

[SNSUN]

Terrible defending

[whelk]

[Miltonaggro]

What a goal!

[obelisk]

England with too much fannying around in the wrong place. 1-1.

[Sheaf Saint]

Good goal.

Bloody hell great strike. Croatia didn't look like doing much up to that.

A couple of times has had a fair bit of space driving into the box, then just dallies on the ball and shifts it to his left foot.

Far too late, especially when gordon is very quick and in space the other side of the box.

[Turkish]

Great strike 

[Window Cleaner]

Need to get Bellingham off, only rolls about on the deck.

[SNSUN]

Good finish that but we look far from coherent. Not a fan of Gordon and Madueke so far.

Nobody seems to apart from me. I think he ok

Ditto. I'd have taken Palmer and used him on the right when Saka is out.

Far too casual for me. Gordon means well but nobody passes too him.

[Southner]

One more each and we'll be level.

I'd have had Bowen over him. I see what Tuchel has done, gone with pace, but you still need a brain.

He's had a shocker. I think it was him who got sat down in the build up to their goal and just sat on his arse.

He needs to be more direct if our main game plan is to play those balls out to him all night. Every time he stops and checks back. 

Gordon isn't doing enough on the other wing either, but he's not getting any service in fairness.

Perisic must be getting on now!? Not to mention old Modric!

Passing it about neatly, Croatia, seem to have a bit more cohesion  about them than us.

[AlexLaw76]

beautiful header

One of the world's elite strikers completely unmarked at a corner

[Miltonaggro]

Brilliant from Kane, bullet header!
