Anthony Taylor

 

[Algernon]

Are there any of them that aren't trying to cheat?
What a complete dive-a-thon.

 

[vegster]

Surely, after today, we have to be expecting the teams in red to progress ?

 

[WhingForPresident]

Taylor's not handling this one too badly so far. Can he do another 60 mins without ruining the game?

 

[BrightonCottager]

This is poor.

Is there a point where yellow cards get wiped, or is it receive 2 and miss the next game all the way to the final?

 

[Simster]

This is poor.

End of this round. So anyone getting their second yellow this weekend misses the semis, but no-one will miss the final unless they get a red in the semis.

For an international winger, Williams' crossing has been terrible.

Today maybe, but been excellent up till now

 

[US Seagull]

Spain one up early in the second half.

[Midget]

This is a better game now

 

[WhingForPresident]

Spain are very good, without being spectacular. Set up perfectly for a tournament to control matches without being pinned into their own half, yet they always retain a goal threat despite their lack of a quality striker. I think they'll win it.

Obviously now I've said this, they'll crumble and lose, as is usually the case.

 

[US Seagull]

Not working for Germany here. Nagelsmann is just a cut-priced Hürzeler!

 

[US Seagull]

Germany hits the post. So close.

 

[WhingForPresident]

Sideshow must be relieved at that. They're definitely targeting him.

Elmo scores

He’s put the disappointment of his poor polling figures behind him very quickly, fair play - elite mentality.
