Must have missed the chances well it’s picked up since the advert break.
There is another player here wearing Djed’s sleep apnea machine

Spain is ridiculously dominant and it feels dangerous every time they run at the Austrians with speed. And that is often.
Oh. and there is the goal
So, so easy for Spain
Or we could focus on how the Spain is grasping the game with both hands. Not everyone does that, they do. And France has played in the same manner.
Spain do look a lot better with Jamal in there.
I did a cheeky bet on them watched that Cape Verde match 
Looked better since.

US commentary considering why we never see Oyazarbal never getting linked to a bigger club. Apparently he is very happy in the lovely San Sabastian, for Sociedad.
I mean of course. The mountains! Who could leave those mountains!

Yamal is obviously a talent, but I don’t think I can stand the ‘love in’ for another hour.
And he’s “only 80%” fit
Austria has talent, and some good players. It’s possible they can turn one of their half chances into a full chance and score. So while Spain has played an absolutely dominant game, and it hasn’t been boring Tika Taka nonsense either, game is still exciting.
I feel like Zubimendi plays like a man who regrets his life decisions by ending up at Arsenal.

Yamal is doing what we wants out there with very little resistance, I mean it’s not the smartest idea in the world.
& that’s some effort by Baena.

My ex didn’t do much cooking but one time when she did try a recipe she’d seen on social media. It called for 3 cloves of garlic, unfortunately she didn’t know the difference between a clove and a bulb - I’m still suffering from reflux a decade on, mostly from the relationship, but the dish didn’t help

You’ve noticed those footballers who are usually branded “the new” Pele or someone famous never do anything.
Not sure if Messi ever got the Maradona tag but it’s the only one I can think of.

In that Capo Verde match the left back had yamal in his pocket.

Yeah but the lad had 10 minutes and had just come back from injury.
You are absolutely right, re Senegal. Ditto for Ivory Coast.
I think Maroc will be here for a while.
I suspect the WC performance will be a big boost for DRC. They have a vibrant domestic league which should lead to more players in Europe…
But dual nationals will become more and more influential in African football.
Nigeria could see a revival if they finally get their act together. But been saying that forever…
