That should have been two yellows. Going into the pitch without being waved on and time wasting.

 

This game is falling apart lol

 

And another one!!

 

Is the ref really Spain's best? He was suspended for 2 weeks this season for poor officiating lol

 

I’ve seen guys go back out and try to continue but ultimately not be able to. But I’ve never seen what Mbappe did. That was absurd.

 

this game

 

That Giroud whiff just gave me PTSD of all his misses from the end of the 15/16 season for Arsenal.

 

That’s proper tournament football. Two teams playing shit on a stick football, battering each other, and a ref who doesn’t even know what sport it is. Beautiful.

 

I reckon Portugal comes through tomorrow to show everyone that it’s them and Germany as clear favorites

 

Remember Monaco on St Patrick’s Day?

 

Plot twist: Roberto Martinez

 

As if Lee Dixon ended his co-comms there by talking drivel during the final moments and then muttering “Oh, the final whistle’s gone had it…”

Really knows how to entertain, does our Lee.

 

I say this without actually comparing their quality as managers, but I think Martinez could pull an Ancelotti and vibe Portugal all the way through.

 

Bro is only gonna look more like a Ninja Turtle lol

 

Inter Miami are fucked. Raul is a fucking money launderer who stole tens of millions from Arsenal and totally fucked us for years.

 

Sounds like he belongs in Miami

 

If Raul has any banter within him, his first signing will ne Nicolas Pepe.

 

Send in Michael Westen

 

Totally forgot today is fixture release day: Breaking: Premier League 2024-25 fixtures released

@Platy must be happy with Ipswich v Liverpool GW1. Man United v Fulham kicks off the season.

 

Last ever game at Goodison will be v Southampton. Can't even begin to describe how hard tickets will be to get.

 

Liverpool at home followed by Man City away to start the season. Seems fun.

 

France had been trying to make a pair of subs and because the ref was being a prat, he missed the board being held up and didn't let them make a sub during a stoppage, so Mbappe took one for the team and re-entered the field to get the game stopped again. (I think)

As for that yellow for the challenge on the keeper, ITV had someone acting as a refereeing expert, who said that was inherently dangerous, because the Austria player was going in with his feet on a goalkeeper who was going in with his hands. I'm not sure if that's an actual rule or just someone wearing clown shoes, but the logic of that is absolutely ridiculous if that's in the rule book.

 

Having not seen the incident, that rule sounds insane, surely the ref analyst has fucked that up. Never ever see that given.
