    Just heard a Welsh fan say "that was Iran's biggest win since the Iron Sheikh beat Bob Backlund at Wrestlemania" cracked up at work

  • I just don't understand the way that off-sides are flagged these days. What was the point of delaying the flag there?
  • On comes Sarmiento

    Fair play to Tyldesley, at least he says Sarmiento correctly
  • Sarmiento will be saving himself for the Carabao Cup match at The Valley

    Charlton’s academy get a shout out on the US commentary.

    Just in case the lino gets it wrong. If the attacker scores, you can disallow the goal. If the lino flags incorrectly, you can't recreate the chance

    Love seeing Edgar Davids on the bench.
  • Ecuador playing some nice stuff. Can’t see Senegal beating these.
    They're no-mugs, but then anyone makes it through S.American qualification, which is very competitive, tends to be decent. They're a definite round of 16 banana skin waiting to potentially catch a big-boy out.

    Yeah, but when they're 5 yards off-side like that one?

    Just in case it was the defending team who played the ball I suppose. 
  • Big shame for Valencia that

    It's what my stream is. Enjoying this very English commentator who pronounces Spanish (and the other day Portuguese) word-perfectly

    Enner Valencia was the first player to score one goal in this World Cup, the first to score two and is now the first to score three.

    No former Charlton players involved, that's where they went wrong

    How did I miss this 






  • I'm confused now.
    Are Palace playing in The League of Wales?
    Someone should tell him that there are no eagles in South London and no dragons in Wales. 

    Iran for the quarter finals. You heard it here first!

    Started off the day at the Qatar vs Senegal game. Quite a strange atmosphere at first. More empty seats at this one than I’ve seen at other games.

    One of the theories as to why there’s few empty seats at each game is because the locals bought a lot of them up at a cheap rate, but then just haven’t turned up. 

    They definitely got more into it as Qatar grew into the game, but they never looked like getting anything from it.



    Then I made the two hour journey north by public transport for the England game. I was travelling from the most southern stadium to the most northern stadium - but got there without issue.

    The game was absolutely abysmal for the most part. Don’t think there’s much I can add that hasn’t already been said. Had great seats behind the goal….just a shame there was hardly any action!


  • What's that in front of you in the bottom picture? The pulleys and wires?

    It looks like a giant crossbow.  Probably there to shoot anyone who gets a bit rowdy.

    Hopefully you watch a live England QF/SF game where we win. Nice views 👌 

    The 0-0 was dull but my glass is half full on it. 

    We didn’t need to be at our absolute best during that fixture.  Save that for the knockouts
