Egypt finally gets a free kick.

There is no love lost between these sides.

Not a fun match to watch…too many fouls, too much interruptions and no flow to the match at all.

I watched a lot of matches in the African cup and now this one … I’m done with African football, boring as hell.

Yep in theory we are more chance than the Italians of making the WC :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: reality is that this ain’t a great Aussie side and not a patch on the 06 team. Long shot to make it.

Interesting take on differing tactics eh

Possibly. It’s natural though, because he has played so little football the last years and kind of become a joke. I’m thinking he could be remembered or recognised more when he retires, when all his great moments will be added up.

Not qualifiers, but France’s friendly last night fascinated me.

  • 2 Arsenal rejects playing with both Saliba and Gendouza coming on as subs.
  • Pepe, another Arsenal failure scoring a beautful opening goal
  • A formation that makes absolutely no sense with seemingly only 1 midfielder (Touchomeni)
  • Nkunku getting a run out up top.

Tchouameni playing instead of Kante alongside Pogba in a double pivot, Nkunku playing instead of Mbappe, Giroud playing instead of Benzema.

Any schedule for the postponed Scotland vs. Ukraine qualifier?

Anyone actually watching the England game then? :roll_eyes:

Hendo starting FAI

Le Swiss lead…what an assist by Shaq. Embolo with a nice header across small arms.

Le Swiss almost 2 up, Pickford with a great save onto the bar.

John Stones injured, shame.

Foden with a nasty kick on Widmer.

Banger by fatty Shaw right at the end of the half. 1-1

Should be a pen for England that imo, hand is up above his head.

Given after VAR review.

Kane despatches as per, 2-1.

Really nice through ball by Eustaquio to Larin for the go ahead goal. Canada should be at least 2 or 3 goals ahead.

BMO Field at Toronto appears to be packed to the rafters. Great crowd noise behind Team Canada. -4C (feels like -13C during match time. Probably colder since the ground is closer to Lake Ontario).

Update: Tajon Buchanan just slotted in another goal for Canada after a free kick just before half time. Canada 2-0 Jamaica.
