I've never thought about this before but "went past him like he wasn't there."

How exactly does that make sense, when you really think about it, instead of working?

It doesn't. Ditto "The crossbar prevented the shot from going in", as if a shot could go in independently of a crossbar being there.
 
Mbappe for some reason doesn't try a bicycle kick. Possibly cos the keeper was so close & didn't want to risk a sending off.

Mbappe scores just a minute later.
 
Kante is such a great player.
Reads the game well and has excellent positioning.
On top of all the other things he does so well.

Makes perfect sense to me due to the 'like' (as if)! Went past him so easily he might as well not have been there.
 
Just watched an interview with Deschamps. His mouth contorts so much you'd swear he was gurning.
 
Domagoj Vida... is that a skullet? Or just IT style balding ponytail? Either way, he's a liability.
 
Just missed my first World Cup footy this tournament.

Sister in law locked herself in her boyfriends porch so had to drive to Childwall to get the keys from him at work & then to his house to rescue her.

Not the relaxing afternoon of footy viewing I had planned. Ah well.

This world Cup is Failing to deliver, imho..

Other than the Spain Portugal game, its been a very drab affair so far in terms of Entertainment..

VAR is ruining it to..
 
There's been some fun games...people just get burned out.

What the team is really lacking is some stand out team that really looks the business. On the other hand, the best teams have faced some really energetic, solid defending.

Nah, I'm enjoying it.

Quite like VAR too. It's a long way for perfect but it's certainly a damn sight better than it was implemented here in the Cup games.
 
I'm enjoying it, var hasn't been annoying me that much. It's probably quicker than times when the players badger the ref over a bad call.

So, do you reckon Maradona snorts coke all the time, or just at the weekend and special occasions?
 
If not for VAR, this game seems like it may have descended into a leg breaker by now... so in that sense it's not great, but I think as a really high profile first effort, its been solid.

Oh fuck off with your VAR ruining it. What bollocks. Firstly it's hardly been used! I think I saw 7 times in 17 matches, or something like that. When it has been used it has been quick (far quicker than trying to control a group of arguing players) and ended up with the right call 90% of the the time. So ruining it ? What utter tosh.
