How anyone can say the Danish defender was attempting to play the ball is beyond me. The Croat was 6 yards from an empty net, and the Dane was coming from behind. Clearest red card all tournament and is exactly the same as Suarez's hand ball versus Ghana in my opinion.
Also, I don't understand...
I think Ronaldo didn't trust his teammates to break through into the box against the iron wall of Uruguay's defence, and therefore tried too hard to do it all by himself. To be fair, he and Quaresma were the only ones with the nous to go past a man.
Fair play to Uruguay, they're an extremely...
Can we all take our Albion tinted spectacles off for just a moment and appreciate how much of a force Loftus-Cheek is. So powerful, gutsy and strong, and with the first teamers around him will give him an outlet for a final ball.
As gutsy as Peru were, I don't really understand the mindset of teams who are 10 minutes away from going out of the World Cup, a once in every four years tournament, and don't throw the absolute kitchen sink at it. If you haven't been able to get in and around the penalty area all game, why on...
All I can say is that he ought to come to the Premier League and see how he fares getting roughed up week in, week out. Behrami absolutely had his number. Coutinho was leagues better, simply due to the fact he passed the ball as a team player.
My biggest problem with VAR is that it's far from being "tried and tested", yet they've implemented it in the biggest tournament in the world. It's like rolling out driverless cars tomorrow on the M25.
I need to watch the video on the technicalities of VAR, but from instinct surely the penalty...
I'm still very fond of Lawro. I do admit that I think he's still watching football through the lenses of 10+ years ago, but in some ways that's refreshing, especially when he's calling the French players out for their ridiculous lack of ability to stay on their feet when any contact was made by...
Absolutely incredible game of football. Privilege to have watched it. A demonstration of how great football can be when both teams are determined to win the game by attacking.
Was on the stadium tour and I think I recall the tour guide saying that there's only a small window of opportunity for gigs because of when the pitch is usually laid.
Any criticism of Baldock is extremely unfair. He was integral to the promotion season: dynamic, made Murray/Hemed better and scored some cracking goals both home and away. I would like to think that if we play with slightly less caution next year he could play a role, but realistically I think...
Lived in Coventry for eight years and counting so I'm absolutely delighted for them. Big fanbase, should be at least Championship level if their club was run well.
