I’m trying to get excited about this World Cup, but to no avail :-((.
I’ve just watched Sky Sports World Cup preview with Gary Neville, Jamie Redknapp, Jamie Carragher & Karen Carney. Utterly depressing viewing. Same old, same old. Picking players for the starting XI not playing for their clubs, or totally off form.
I’m hoping this thread can get the juices flowing.
Do any of you think England have a chance? |  | | |  |

ITV commentary was shit. Roy Keane looks like he'd rather have been invited to do 'I'm a Celebrity' rather than do the World Cup for ITV. |  | | |

massive goal for them, of course they are going to be excited. We'd be going mad if that was QPR |  | | |

F@ck me, has Gareth Bale solved the Arab-Israeli conflict or just scored a penalty?
Commentary like he’s the 2nd coming |
Can walk across water according to Tyldesley. | | | |

25 mins of stoppage time in total during the England game and 10 mins at the end of the Wales game.
Not complaining as I want to see the right amount of time added on and hopefully it’ll limit time wasting. But is this a new FIFA directive for this tournament? |  | | |

But not as much of an embarrassment as Sam Twátterface. |
Both pale in comparison to Peter Dreary who Amazon Prime in their wisdom have resurrected. | | | |

Good game from your lot. Iran probably not very good, but all the goals were really well taken |
Iran ranked 16 places above Hungary who stuffed us 4-0 recently. Always great to win the first game and take some pressure off. Goal difference also a bonus. | | | |

No idea but the one tangible thing FIFA have done in eons, is make the substituted player walk off the pitch at the nearest point to him.
Which is a good thing. |  |

He gets a lot of stick on here (rightly so most of the time) but thought Mount was outstanding today.
Bellingham is on a different level, unbelivable player
Var being a load of old nonsence again as usual, get rid of it |
Wow... just goes to show how differently we all watch the game.
I thought mount was anonymous and I'm totally at a loss to understand why he is being chosen .... |  | | |

Agree Mount was a passenger for me |  | | |

Over here in Wales the reaction to the result was way OTT,you'd have thought they'd just won the whole damn tournament.I've got some plasterer lads in at the mo and they were all out on the piss last night - for a f*cking draw??Bale's goal was described on Welsh ITV as a "stunning penalty"WTF??
I was expecting them to dig out the old open topped bus for a lightning tour of Pontrhyd - y -Groes. |  |

If I was Welsh I'd be disappointed with last night. Though anything can happen against the favourites, England, and the underdogs, Iran, the game against the U.S. was second seeds against third seeds so crucial in the race for qualification.
Not only did Wales fail to win but they were comprehensively outplayed for a lot of the game.
I suppose they'd hope that the game will rid them of nerves and also bring on Bale, but overall I'd be less confident than I was 24 hours ago. |  |

Soft pen for Argentina. To follow Iran's soft one |  | | |

I am actually glad they are cracking down on this.
Feck knows how the one wasn’t given against Maguire but that probably won’t now happen again. |  | | |

With the Maguire one, although I haven't really rewatched it, I thought it was a bit Paul Furlong / Grant Holt. You're holding each other, so you fall down and pull the other player on top of you and cry pen...in which case not a pen for me. | | | |

Fifa backing up what they said about clamping down on fouls in the box... (unless its a foul on an England player). [Post edited 22 Nov 2022 10:45]

I'm beginning to think I've misjudged McAuley Bonne - with a different heritage the boy could be playing for Argentina |  | | |

Bold strategy setting up your offside line on the edge of the opposition penalty box. |  | | |

Absolutely correct Dannyblue. Both players were holding each other's shirt.
There'll be plenty of pens in the Championship if this protocol continues (which it won't.) |  |

Blimey, I thought he was excellent, connected the front 3 to the midfield, found spaces all game. | | | |

It is their first world cup for 64 years, they are bound to get excited.
I thought they looked nervous and very poor first half but did well to come back and the draw keeps them in it as judging by yesterday they should beat Iran if they can keep the number 9 quiet. | | | |

They tried to be too cute playing without Moore, pace in behind and all that, and couldn't get out. Changed that completely at half time. | | | |
