I completely forgot Nuno da Costa played for Forest
And Montiel off the bench, after one of the greatest extras time equalisers I've ever seen
That was one of the all time great WC matches.
England and Mexico both kicked off about the proposed time change and FIFA have relented, it will now kick off at the original time.
The Rape Verdi game ended up being a classic. Really felt for the islanders as they had the Argie bastards near the end as they were knackered. Owen goal seals it for the joucy buggers.
They also have a massively easy path to the semis. England are fucked. I have been trying to get tickets for something less than 10k and I cannot. I had a place I could stay too as my wife’s business partner runs Air B N B’s in Mexico City.
I know Mexico will win because of the heat and altitude but if tickets weren’t utterly insane I would be there. And I hate FIFA even more now.
Love Rape Verdi though. What a magnificent performance.
Definitely will visit when I make my next trip to the African continent.
Chicago: Thrilled. (Not about the rape allegations obviously…)
This CAN match is getting tasty. Pistachio and Profiteroles are looking good value.
I haven't been following that closely but 21 fouls and 6 cards in the 1st half is a heck of a lot for a tournament where it feels that refs have been encouraged to show leniency to 'let the game flow'.
Annoyingly of my 3 card free fiver bet only 1 of them has landed so far (Laryea). I nearly went for Hakimi, but he has let me down so many times for club and country.
The fucker. And alleged rapist.
Still, long way to go yet.
Just noticed that 5 of the 6 cards came after the 40th minute. I understand Zippy's 'getting tasty' comment now.
It's settled down a little now after the goal, but MAR are being their usual annoying niggly selves
Balogun suspension suspended. Fuck me, this tournament is bent.
Isn't general consensus it should never have been a red card (Messi challenge was worse and he got nothing) so isn't this a positive thing?
No.
Next.
No wonder JR is permanently depressed, he tries to be positive and this place just shoots him down…

If they’d overturned the red, there might be a case for that. But they’ve just decided he’s not being suspended for it.
After a phone call from the White House.
Wasn't a red, imho, but this isn't how you fix it.
