    Think he is doing a good job of it tbf.

    Iran give both of these teams a game.
    You're gonna get a shock at how bad Iran are. 
    Out of interest, have you seen Iran against anyone but England? 
    Was it not rather a case of England being class?


    @SELR_addicks

    I really didn't get a shock. 

    Iran 2 Wales 0

    Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah na x 3
    Let's knock the Welsh out!

    Senegal aren't looking like much, except they're making Qatar look competent.

    Hates the English football team; supports an English football team.

    No wonder he’s a Palace fan, very confused individual.

    Pele looks like he's held up on ropes, the way he hangs in the air for that header.

    Qatar keeper going to be the difference here. This looks like a 0-0 all day if they were competent at the back.

    My Son finishes school today @ 1:45pm today, as they're having some Christmas Fayre down there - Feel like he's doing me a favour today with the excitement of this current game.

    Group A games have been f**king awful all round

    Doesn't scan.  Last line needs to be something like

    Yeaaa the Qatari went looking for that penalty all day long

    Although on replays, am really surprised that VAR havent looked at it for being soft.

    Probably worse than Portugal's

    This afternoon's games are very much filler between the big games

    More of a penalty than Ronaldo's one yesterday.

    It's the inconsistency that's annoying.

    Clear penalty.  What is the point of VAR if it doesn't pick up things like that.

    How is that not a penalty. Remember when people were saying Qatar had paid the refs off 🙄🤣

    Not a penalty. Qatari player saw the defender coming and slowed his run, bought the contact.

    He put his body in front of the ball (as a defender would do when ushering the ball out) and the defender clattered him. That’s a pen.

    If Mane was playing it would be about 7,000 - 0

    Nah can’t be having that. He could’ve shot and he tried to buy a penalty instead by deliberately initiating the contact against a defender that couldn’t stop their momentum. If anything, it’s a free kick for Senegal.

    1-0 Senegal

    No different to the Ronaldo pen yesterday. No consistency in decisions at all.

    Agree with you there. Neither were penalties in my opinion.

    Qatar have started kicking the opposition, about 20 mins later than they started kicked the opposition when they played Ecuador so I guess that’s progress.
