    RTE's coverage has generally been the better option. But your ones voice on co commentary now is too hard on my ears. Time to change over.

    20 minutes in and Poland have more yellow cards than attempts. Cash needs to be careful.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,013 ✭✭✭✭Mushy


    Could easily have walked already, going leading in with an elbow like that was very risky. Poland aren't good at all



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,844 ✭✭✭DJIMI TRARORE


    SA well on top, Poland being their usual crap at major finals

    Her voice is like a cheese grater grating coarse sandpaper. I have the volume on mute.

    Poland haven't shown much in this half but now find themselves ahead.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,643 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    Zielinski with the breakthrough. Nicely worked goal from Poland. Best thing they've done this half.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,643 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    How is that a penalty? Soft as anything I've seen.

    JUSTICE! Get in, Szczesny!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,380 ✭✭✭✭martingriff


    Not a penalty to me



  • Moderators, Sports Moderators, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,794 Mod ✭✭✭✭yerwanthere123


    And now Saudi Arabia are awarded a farcical penalty 😬

    Which is saved! Delighted.

    Harsh penalty.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,119 ✭✭✭✭tom1ie


    That’s the worst penalty decision I’ve seen yet.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,114 ✭✭✭✭sligeach


    Some would say justice done.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,174 ✭✭✭omega man


    saved, justice served.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,119 ✭✭✭✭tom1ie


    Hate that keeper but a great double save to be fair.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,114 ✭✭✭✭sligeach


    Goalkeeper was a bit of the line for the penalty. Meh. Good double save.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,545 ✭✭✭✭martyos121


    That’s right up there among the greatest saves I’ve ever seen.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,844 ✭✭✭DJIMI TRARORE


    Rebound save is exceptional



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,643 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    Didn't realise Szczesny made the follow-up save too. Outstanding goalkeeping.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,112 ✭✭✭✭gormdubhgorm


    Was Szczesney off the line?

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.

    Probably but the lad who hit the rebound was in the box before penalty kick. Never a pen anyway.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,643 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    Milik nearly makes it 2. Great effort.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,054 ✭✭✭wanderer100


    What a howler from the Saudi defender

    2 nil , game over now



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,114 ✭✭✭✭sligeach


    Gift wrapped on a plate. 2-0.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,013 ✭✭✭✭Mushy


    Lewandoski gets his goal.

    Did somebody predict 2-0 for Poland here?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,643 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    That's the game. Can't mess around like that with Lewandowski nearby.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,380 ✭✭✭✭martingriff


    Well you can't be passing the ball to a player like that. Good think he knew he could score as if he went down it was a red card



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,114 ✭✭✭✭sligeach


    Poland in some ways have been lucky here. Sure Poland have had a couple of chances but so have Saudi Arabia, poor finishing(and good saves), should have scored the penalty and that second goal for Poland was as easy as it gets. Nobody will fear Poland should they finish second in the group.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,643 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    Interesting French line-up. Kounde and Varane come in for Pavard and Konate. I'd still be concerned about Upamecano.

    Denmark have made a few changes too: Skov Olsen, Dolberg, Delaney and Kjaer out, Damsgaard, Cornelius, Lindstrom, Nelsson in. Looks like the Danes are having a go. Hopefully a better game than the 0-0 at the last World Cup. I'll go for a narrow France win.

    Don't see why they are taking Kjaer out. I know they have changed the formation but you ain't beating France without cool heads like his.
