Senegal is slowly climbing up the ladder of eight to qualify for the next knockout round. Another goal, 5-0.
I get that of course but apparently more than 25% of all the squads at this world cup were not born in the country they represent.
In 1978 it was one in 50…

France for all their forward talent aren’t that great in midfield or defence, your guys have given a great account and should have more to show for it.
I reckon the World cup is pretty open in who could win it.

Gutso’s concentration is so poor. Twice he missed the passes from his teammates.
Beautiful cross, wonderful header.
Some one wants to sign Doué on this forum?
This France team scare me. I hope England can avoid them.
Doesn’t look great in defending though… But for sure they can score a lot of goals.
Current 3rd place standing

Well, Declan Rice is Irish by the way.

I do find it remarkable that everything that could have gone against Scotland has.
Shite luck that the Scots got drawn against Brazil in the group. Scotland records against Brazil has been appalling.
Pougatch: “ every single French player, including the goalkeeper got a touch on the ball for the third goal”
Keane: “ they get anything extra for that?”

The problem was Scotland’s performance, especially against Morocco and then also against Haiti.
Just one goal is a poor return. And that first goal conceded against Brazil was absolutely infuriating from a Scottish perspective. You do not need to be absolutely gifting goals like that..

Yeah they needed to be quite on it against Haiti and then avoid a loss against Morroco. To be honest their Haiti performance was poor as was Morocco.
Still every single result has gone against them since. Slot seemed to have luck going for him at the end of the season.

Our Aussie hero and the very popular Harry Souttar, played for Australia before ever setting foot in the country!!!

Dull I think I’ll have an early one
Saudi player went down with another strange looking twist on his leg. As mentioned before: the American Football pitch base, or long season.
If I remember correctly, so far the odd looking injuries are from defenders reaching/stretching for the ball in their own penalty areas, and then their legs twisted in a strange way.
Uruguay keeper’s howler. Spain leads.
Uruguay also lost Ugarte. Looks like ankle injury. Stretchered off.
