Thread to discuss the football itself.
This is not a thread to discuss the hosting of the competition in Quatar.

Do it in front of the ref and that is what happens maybe he thought so many players around it be unnoticed
8 minutes injury time vs 2 mins injury time that to VAR,
Do the second halves have to start at the same time?
They should've never made the handball thing a thing.
Like Ireland would NEVER bring up past incidents ahead of a match
not my point.
Suarez is playing like a man possessed.
Apparently not as the Korea Portugal game on a good 2 to 3 minuutes before the other
Edit: Way longer seems they go with 15 mins break
As well as all the extra pressure on the penalty, after all the talk of Gyan's missed pen.
I would be lovely if something like that put Uruguay out.
Or if they are through on GD and Ghana get a late spiteful goal to only lose 3-1
The BBC really on the England are going to win the World Cup.
The English never learn.
The Ayew brothers never really lived up to their potential
Playing great in fairness for an auld fella. But Saurez should get an Oscar for the amount of shapes he throws. He has More expressions than yer wan on the millionaire raffle ad.
Would they really know too much of that talk though
Suarez goes down and holds his left leg but I think the contact was made with his right leg 🤔
Should be a penalty to Uruguay.
What sort of a decision is that!?
Getting a touch after you foul someone is still a foul.
No penalty given. Poor decision.
Thought Uruguay had another pen there.
i didn’t see a dive there from Nunez. When you think of the soft pens Ronaldo and Messi got makes the decision even more stark.
I havent been following it really but did ghana make it a thing or did the media make it a thing?
id guess they would alright... Suarez was asked to apologise in his press conference, and his answer was along the lines of; "no, i took my red card and gave away the penalty - they missed the penalty, that's not my fault".
It being a statement by Suarez himself makes me think they'd end up becoming aware of it.
It was Ghanaian journalist questioning Suarez about previous WC handball asking him would he apologise.
And Suarez just said no he didn’t miss the pen - Ghana did. And he also said it wasn’t as if he did a dangerous tackle just a handball - which he was punished for.
Fans from
Seems the current Ghana coach doesn't make a big deal of it anyway
Cawley just can't find it in himself to not say Kudos instead of Kudus, every single time 😅
Uruguay have been good here and I think they've been easily the best team in the group besides Portugal. Plus out of the potential runners up they should offer the biggest challenge to Brazil.
They'll still roll over for Brazil though.
South Korea score! uruguay fucked!
Uruguay need one more goal to get back to 2nd!
How was that not offside?
South Korea with what looks like a late winner!
Son did well to make it.
Answer: brilliantly timed run and pass
Not going to lie, I did all the head shaking and finger wagging, but this is turning into a belter of a world cup.
I actually did not know of that I just thought it was all commentators. He is dead right
