The world cup thread

[Donegal Hibby]

Bale caught the guy before getting the ball

[Johnny_Leith]

In an ideal world it isn't, but two footed and from behind it's a yellow all day in the modern game

Yeah I know letter of the law it probably is, but it's indicative of how the games becoming sanitised.

[Iain G]

He caught him though!

[HibbyAndy]

Commentater got me hinkin , Di steffano never played in a world cup


International career. Di Stéfano played with three different national teams during his career, scoring 6 goals in 6 appearances for Argentina, and 23 in 31 appearances for Spain. However, he never played in the World Cup.

Eh ? What ?

[Iain G]

Wales are pish

[Johnny_Leith]

He caught him though!

It's a contact sport

[J-C]

Wales are bang average and have relied on Ramsay and Bale for too long, now they are not the same players they were, they're not the same team.

[green day]

I don't know if this is the Welsh top midfield, but if so they are in bother.
The arse Hartson talking about bringing on Keifer Moore but who's going to pass him the ball??

[Mikey_1875]

Although it’s only one game Wales should be treating this one like a final. Kiefer Moore should come on early and cause problems.

[Donegal Hibby]

Yellow card for Bale all day long , tackle from behind , caught the player before getting the ball , don't think this is going to end 11 v 11.

[cabbageandribs1875]

i can see wales bringing on that dude Bale in the 2nd half

[Irish_Steve]

Bale is playing the same role as Deeks did yesterday, I never noticed him either as he was playing in front of the East lol

[cabbageandribs1875]

just having a squint at the USA bench and noticed a carter-vickers

quick google search confirms it is indeed the dude that plays for sellick

[Hiber-nation]

USA have got some really good players, Pulisic obviously, Robinson and Adams are cracking young players, bags of energy and miles better then Wales. Bizarre team selection from Wales, he'll need to bring some proper strikers on.

[Iain G]

i can see wales bringing on that dude Bale in the 2nd half

And Doidge!

[Lago]

Roy Keane gone all grizzly Adams again 😂

[cabbageandribs1875]

[cabbageandribs1875]

And Doidge!


he's having a WC break

[B.H.F.C]

Unless they get a free kick I can’t see Bale doing anything in this game.

[HoboHarry]

Ramsay looks like he's playing for Rangers
Did he miss another penalty? :greengrin

[Callum_62]

That is absolutely embaressing by Rodon there in the way he went down claiming a knock to the head at that corner

VAR should be stepping in and he should be booked and sent off

Wasn't mentioned at all by the commentary team

Freddy Adu should be playing his last World Cup for USA here after a few Ballon D’Ors.

You have a guy playing out his skin for Leicester sitting on the bench and you are starting a guy who has played less than 10 club games in 3 seasons. He's not made any glaring errors but he's looked uncomfortable a few times. You have to go with the form player imo.

80 min Ramsey’s cutback from the byline bobbles towards Bale, back to goal in the area. Ream Zimmerman goes straight through him and the referee gives a penalty! Ream Zimmerman did get the ball, but he took an absurd shortcut through the back of Bale to get there. It’s a clear penalty.

Hate to use the old hibs.net cliche but it's fine margins.

They could easily hang back and guarantee they're onside but they don't get the advantage of trying to spring that high line. You might get the odd one wrong but when you get it right, you're one on one with the goalkeeper so a gamble worth taking.

You don't have to get it far wrong to look miles offside and some of these have been by inches.

Or so Colin Nish told me, anyway.

Yeah it’s funny how the Qataris are being portrayed as evil killers and the Saudis are plucky underdogs.

[cabbageandribs1875]

that's a huge contingent from Argentina

[Squealing pig]

Limbs at that 2nd Saudi goal . How fitting

[SteveHFC]

Anyone else like that Saudi top?

I've only seen since HT but the Saudis look fit and fast

2 great goals too

Souness - "it's only a matter of time before Argentina make it 2-0"

10 mins later its 1-2 [emoji23]

Before the game as well he predicted it would be “damage limitation” for SA, whilst going on and on about Messi.

Maybe if it had white sleeves

[Paulie Walnuts]

This is by far the best game so far.

[Aldo]

Otemendi screaming at the slightest touch. Nit sure tat was a booking though for the SA player until he rolled and screamed!

There's a lot of coupon busters and its only day 3 ! I cant see Argentina scoring 2 more...

(Que them scoring 3 in the last 10 minutes :greengrin)

Keane and Cole didn’t go that far. They said it’s football and anything can happen, whilst obviously saying Argentina will win.

[HH81]

Great game this.

Can SA hold out?

[Mon Dieu4]

Dunno why the Argentinian managers seems to hate Dybala, never seems to get brought on when he seems the obvious choice

[easty]

That header by Messi was pish

One of those nacho sombreros you dip in guacamole would suffice

Superb performance from SA today!

I’m waiting for the “ this result would mean England could face them earlier than the semis’s “ sentence

[Johnny_Leith]

It's really heartening to see some action taken to combat time wasting. It absolutely ruins the game imo.

Argentina can **** off. If they knew how to work an offside trap, this would have been over at HT.

[tamig]

What a terrible collision. Hope the boy is ok.

[Smartie]

Di Maria has been absolutely garbage here and Saudi Arabia have played him brilliantly.

All left foot, has taken the sting out of their attacks every time by cutting back and letting the defence get their men back.

Saudi have let him do it, time after time and then pressured him, often getting the ball off him.

[Dmas]

Commentary there ‘using every trick in the play book’ guys possibly no teeth left in his head

Not to mention all those ludicrous 20 match accas.

Has a manager been sacked during the World Cup finals ?

Absolutely shocking performance, tactically niaive by Argentina and all it took was high energy and commitment by SA.

:greengrin

[SHODAN]

Wow.

[Hibernia&Alba]

Could that be the biggest shock in the history of the World Cup? Astonishing win for the Saudis. There will be chaos in Argentina now.

[Paulie Walnuts]

Argentina looked like we have for ages now. Throwing aimless balls into the box.

They’ll get nowhere near the final stages if that’s anything to go by.

[Yorkshire HFC]

Wow! That is what sport is about. Saudi beating Argentina. Bale scoring last night. Sako scoring two yesterday. Brilliant.

[Kato]

Messi schmessi.

Will be carnage in Argentina.

Had there not been VAR, this match could easily have ended 5 or 6-0.

The Refs are finally doing their job and adding on ALL wasted time. All for it.

Read that Argentina were 36 games unbeaten going into today's match . Some record they had if true before Saudi's ended it

John Hartson proving he doesn't understand the offside law

[Johnny_Leith]

Hartson also unhappy refs have been card happy. That's a good thing, refs have been far too lenient for years.

[Donegal Hibby]

Can never understand why when a players offside and plays the ball , why linesman let's play continue before flagging offside, complete waste of time and players energy imo

[Jim44]

John Hartson proving he doesn't understand the offside law

Exactly what I was thinking. He’s a bit of an arse.:greengrin

[Paulie Walnuts]

John Hartson proving he doesn't understand the offside law

Nothing will ever beat him declaring that Connor Sammon ‘should be scoring’ with an effort from the halfway line for Alloa against Celtic.

[hibsbollah]

Pat Nevin doing the punditry on five live Denmark Tunisia. He’s the best pundit there is. Always some insight.

[easty]

I don’t think that deserves a pen, but outside the box it gets a freekick 99% of the time.


Great save by Schmeichel there!

[HH81]

Hartson talks some right crap.

Aye. That’s not the best save Hartson has ever seen. Calm down big John.
