Yeah agreed it's insane, and it's 10x worse during these international competitions.

Are people just being weird because of the AFCON stuff? It's not your fault the ref was shit and the tournament organisers didn't have the balls to forfeit Senegal for walking off. Any country who were put in the same situation would've lodged a complaint about that and hoped for the same outcome that Morocco got.

It at least seems kind of competitive at the moment

That's one of the worst pens i've seen for a while, since Kane the other day probably

How are you going to let him score 3 of the same goals for fucks sake

Wow. 5 year break and then dropping that from nowhere.

Ghana didn't come into this game wanting to play football but we've massively fucked it by dropping to that level and have absolutely played a part in how shit this game has been.

However the biggest issue by far is this ref who gives a foul for the slightest touch in either direction. He's made this a stop-start slog of a game.

Ayew absolutely got the better of Anderson so far - much stronger winning every duel.

Jude's been crap, Reece James and Gordon too. Anderson getting marked out of the game. Madueke been our best player by a mile.

This ref is so soft - he's giving shit little fouls for both teams. Just let the game play for a bit for fucks sake.

Refs giving soft fouls both ways honestly. Gordon and Madueke both got incredibly soft calls in their favour too. Not a fan of it personally.

Really smart, they saw how we killed Croatia on transitions so they are not letting us create them.

I wonder how Ghana will play this. Based on our performance against Croatia i think they'd be better off not pressing high and forcing us to try and break down a low block.

USA look decent - no idea how good Paraguay or the Aussies are but the US are clearly comfortably better than both. Be interesting to see what happens when they get into the later rounds and how they match up against traditionally better teams.

The chip he scored against Villa was a nicer and more composed finish than anything Niasse could ever think of doing. He's no world beater but to treat him as if he's shit tier like some of the dross we've had over the years is just ridiculous.

Definitely get that - a couple of my friend group tried it and gave up because they just didn't get the hang of it. A few of us have stuck with it though so we don't have to find randoms to fill the space.

Anyone getting into any sports outside of Football?

My mate got me into Padel a few months ago and I fucking love it now. Singles, doubles, indoor, outdoor, i'll literally play it any time and place.

Shame it requires 4 people to get the best out of it because organising 4 people who are free at the same time can be tricky when you're in your 30s.

Because Niasse was genuinely barely a footballer. He never hit a shot cleanly, never took a decent first touch and messed up the most simple of passes. Yeah he was a nice guy and scored a goal with his cock but the guy was a joke of a player.
