World Cup Qatar 2022 - Desert Strike

[carlospie]

Rashford has so much potential.to unlock. Rapid, tricky, there's an unreal player in there 

[ZOK]

Yeah yeah goals are great but where is Phillips getting this card from

[Jammy]

A shame Sancho isn’t there to notch one as well, to complete the trio of England youngsters who got so much abuse after the Euros.

 

I’m not liking these spiteful little slightly late challenges. Lots of treading on feet and rapping ankles. I don’t know if they’re just a yard slow or deliberately nasty.

Losing 1-0 now. Southgate out.

[Azrael]

Kane was shite,  couldn't even score against Iran. 

[Angles Morts]

20,000 unsold seats at an England game 😳

[carlospie]

How did Iran make it here but Italy didn't 🤦‍♂️

Italy have to qualify in Europe

[Hamus]

That's great team work. Wilson had every right to shoot. No, he played for the team.

 

Lovely stuff. My 5-1 prediction was too conservative.

[feltmonkey]

So unselfish from Wilson!

[Ork1927]

England really do have an embarrassment of attacking players.

 

This game better finish soon as I need to do the school run.

[ryodi]

There will be a lot more one sided games like this at the 2026 World Cup when 48 teams qualify. 

[feltmonkey]

What's happened this half to make 10 minutes of injury time???  

[Azrael]

24 added mins total this match.... 

[ryodi]

Why Grealish did that celebration.

They must have included the time that England were down to 10 waiting for Dier to come on!

[Fitzcarraldo]

Worrying result. The group stage entertainers never go on to win the whole thing.

And it will be a shit show with England basically already qualifying after this game if only 3 teams.

 

That won't be the worst bit of it - that will be some teams sitting in their hotel watching the 3rd game in the group to see if they go through or go home rather than being on the pitch.

[Bucky]

Nice save from Pickford.

[Eighthours]

Vindaloo lyrics are going to have to come into play later on in this tournament if we're defending like this.

[Hamus]

This can't be a penalty considering the first half one. Ridiculous.

 

Seems utterly corrupt that this is a penalty.

 

Who are the VAR Stooges in the booth?

[ryodi]

 How’s that a penalty when Maguire wasn’t in the first half.

[Angles Morts]

What the fuck! Bent as fuck

That's class.  Grealish will get shit for that when we're 5 up, so thanks for posting that.

[Ork1927]

Laying the ground work for Qatar’s 6 penalties in their next game?

 

This must be the longest World Cup game ever by quite some margin.

I was expecting Dirk Kuyt to be on that last minute penalty.

[Nick R]

What a weird game.

[PaB]

I mean we would be arguing for the pen the other way so I don’t have a problem with it being given . But it’s the inconsistency. Apparently the bear hug on maguire was fine. 

[Hamus]

When the Euros started last year, Bellingham wasn't old enough to buy Alcohol.
