I'm enjoying it a lot. Huge variations in styles and quality as should be expected and desired. Too early for any "shocks" to necessarily matter. My favourite match so far was the Korea v Czechia one, with high quality football, contrasting tactics, disparate physicality, and great comeback..
The ad breaks are annoying. The diving is endemic.
I always love the early stages of a tournament, when you get to say to people things like "I'd love to join you but I have to get home for Saudi Arabia v Uruguay".
Still not seen a full game.
Wood and Stamenic both start for NZ.
I haven’t seen a single minute of any game yet, that should change this week. (Hopefully…)
Beautiful play by Woody to create the opening goal.
Wood the provider again for NZ's second.
He's good at that particular thing, but not much else today. Eli Just is somehow effective.
Bindon must be training badly if Surman is rated above him
We were lucky and still a tiny bit disappointed!
Them VAR people are wrong-un's, an' all. Probably Judean Popular Front - SPLITTERS!
I've only seen highlights, but it appeared that Bindon was brought on as a sub in midfield. Is that right?
Whoscored shows it as a switch to a back 5.
But if Bindon isn't first choice for New Zealand, he's definitely going out on loan next season or being sold.
It was more like that, yes.
He's significantly better than Surman especially, and also Boxall, but the coach disagrees with me. And he picks the team, quite effectively it seems.
At least another year outside the Prem at best.
Livramento out of the England squad with injury, Trevor Chalobah to replace him.
