Modern football has just become who can cheat the best.
Plus var seems loaded towards the big teams.

[Michael Morris]

Nothing wrong with the quality of that goal from Richarlison.

3 - 0

Yup, has always been the case, just more prominent now.

Edit:
4 nil after 36 minutes. Could be a rout here.

The celebrations are as entertaining as the goals :hehe:

[Undercoverinwurzelland]

This is ridiculous. It's like watching, um, Brazil.

[Des Parrot]

Now the real World Cup has started.

48 teams in the next one will be a farce.

[SLUDGE FACTORY]

England would do them

They should make it knock out from the start.

They should make it knock out from the start.

From the very start would be tremendous. Imagine it, 211 countries in the hat from the onset. 105 two legged games with one bye, 53 ties next round, 26 ties with one bye, 13 ties with one bye, 7 ties, 3 ties with one bye, then the semis, then the final. No seeding, Wales get Tonga home and away, get lucky and end up with a load of byes until winning the thing against Luxembourg. :hehe:

They'll be celebrating in the streets of Pyongyang tonight!

Korea- Too honest, too naive. Should have had players who would have “taken one for the team”, and disrupted the Brazilian rhythm. Brazil would have done so, in the same position.

They just don't play that way. I actually thought they played quite well for periods. Their goal was outstanding. And Allison made a lot of great saves. I think South Korea would give England a good game.

Just to be clear, when I posted this, I imagined it being said by the late, great, Bill McLaren.
