    And involves Danilo

    The one that came on at half time wasn't ours was it?

    Ours came on at 80 minutes.

    Can't be too harsh on Scotland because it's not a strong squad.

    You can never ever be too harsh on the fucking Scots.

    Gary Neville and Ian Wright were fuming at HT. Pretty much accused FIFA of being bent.

    Maybe the VAR was following Infantino's advice and just being "chill".

    That Bouadi for Morocco looks immense. How much of New Anderson do you think he would cost.

    They released an image later, shown in this article ...

    www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/ckg80k1yn89o

    ... After clarifying their automated thing hadn't worked and they needed to draw the manual lines. Which, honestly, I think they did half an hour later when they realised the system hadn't worked properly. Zoom in on the image, the lines aren't in the correct* places IMHO.

    *putting aside the debate around whether half of someone's foot should be considered offside in the first place

    The article I read suggested just under a half.

    He'd get the Chicago seal of approval for his absolute mane as well.
    Manzambi of Switzerland looked to be a very raw diamond as well, but he's also 50M euros at Transfermarkt. Wtf?

    Commentators talking about the Germans making a huge statement of intent and revival as they thrash <checks notes> Curacao.

    Only if blue. Which is the team colour, so yes.

    I wonder what kinda chants were being sung in that NED-JPN match... "remember the Edo period!"... "fuck the Meiji Restoration!"... etc.

    Sangare came on for a bit in CIV's victory. And I don't think I've ever heard as anodyne a co-commentator as Efan Ekoku on 5 Live

    Used to manage there before Swansea. I had no idea he'd gone there. A better gig than I'd expect after his last Prem job.
