NM's one moment of glory... offside.

Great save to keep the Finns in the match.

Off to an entertaining start, this one.

He'd been holding the Canadians to that point, with several fine saves. And he made a few more after that as well. A youngster replacing the regular keeper, who couldn't travel for some reason. Ironically enough, he was born in Canada.

Loft it in to 4' 10" Werner. That'll work.

At least give Lloris a chance to fuck it up.

Offside.

Germany don't have anyone capable of beating a defender. France on the other hand....

Hummels would've buried that.

Havertz isn't up to it.

Just clear the ball, ffs.

If this means Jota gets a good rest I'll be okay with that result.

Ronaldo, Pepe, Silva, Fernandes. Four for the all-asshole eleven.

Jota ignored Ronaldo. Bench him (wrap him in a little cotton wool, preferably).

Have they thought about switching to water polo?

Alisson in goal for Brazil vs. Venezuela, which is about to start. No Fabinho nor Bobby starting.

Complete dominance to complete collapse. Oof.

More like the third match of a group, where both advance with the draw. But Pickford might still surprise.

Hard to judge Leeds players, to some degree, as Bielsa has them so well marshalled. But Phillips impressed me all season. As did Ayling, as a matter of fact.

I keep wondering why Modric isn't passing the ball to the open player. It's the ref in the shadow.

Sign Davies from Bayern, put him back on the wing. They're wasting his talents at left back.

Did that touch the defender going through, and is that enough contact to discount an offside? Apparently so.

Medics would have saved that.

I don't think the players would agree if they didn't want to play. Schmeichel in particular doesn't look the sort who would hesitate to object.
