World Cup 2018 | 23rd June Matches | Next Match: Germany vs Sweden, KO 19:00 (BST)

[bavarian blue]

The game is shouting for Sané. Serves them right leaving him out.

No pace at all .

 

[JULES]

I`m pleased that the germans luck has run out, the deflection against England italia 90, the 3rd goal v England 1970 mexico, they always seem to get lucky, the bastards

 

[kaz7]

That’s contrary to what I’ve heard but perhaps I heard wrong.

I think it was a pen and if he had stopped and asked for a replay he would have given it but he played on

 

[heslops barnet]

4 ex rags as ‘pundits’, clueless the kin lot !

 

[ChicagoBlue]

Once he lets it go and he said no to the player than that is that,play isn't brought back

Don’t think that’s right.

Game goes on while VAR refs review. If they want to, they can call him and tell him he needs to review it, pitchside. They also tell him which view they see that caused them to call him. In this case, it would have been the view from behind, where it is clear Boateng gets him in the back and clatters his standing leg as he is about to shoot.

Either way, bollocks innit?!

 

[PragueBlue]

Keane spouts some right shit.

Said it shouldn't have been a penalty as the defender had to do something to put the striker off to stop him scoring. Isn't that what nearly every penalty is a result of?

 

[Pigeonho]

Loving every minute of this and long maybthe ball scratcher suffer as a result, as the German public won’t let him off for his decision not to take Sane now it’s backfired spectacularly.

 

[Muffin or barm?]

Wasn't play brought back in the Australia/Denmark game the other day for the Australia penalty? I'm aware they can't go back once play has restarted (goal kick, corner etc.) but if play just carried on, he could pull it back

 

[cucumberman]

Wonder what Leroy is thinking, watching this?

What's Schadenfreude in German?

For the coach not the country of course.

 

[andy1234uk]

What's this rumour they mentioned at half time about Germany?

 

[The perfect fumble]

Leroy Sané right now...

 

[kaz7]

Nope. It's the next time play restarts. Jesus didn't get the penalty against Switzerland as the goal kick went out for a throw in.

Well i can't recall seeing it work like that so far

If the rest of the panel had said it wasn't a penalty he would have said it was. It's the nature of the beast.

 

[meeesh]

Intriguing match, this. Just when I was thinking that Sweden couldn’t possibly hold out against this, they go and nearly score a second. Twice.

My overall distinct sentiment is that the group matches, so far, have been considerably more entertaining than in many other World Cups that I’ve seen. There’s a definite feeling that the tournament has really started. And virtually all the so called favourites have been put in their place.

You think so ? Far too many 1-0 games for my liking I'm afraid,10 to be precise,crap some of those games,and yup I've watched the lot

 

[Silva_Spell]

So ITV have 4 pundits. 4 ex-United players. Could they be more obvious?

Don't mind these ones tbh. Keane is good value as a pundit and Neville is decent at it.
It's when they get in idiots like Schmeichel, Giggs, Yorke etc. that's when it's annoying

Well thats me confused then,i think on the whole it's worked quite well,not perfect but then it's new and has to be tried out sometime

Evra is a fucking embarrassment, can’t believe they still use him.

You're not going to believe this. I used google translate.....

 

[jimharri]

"I think he's coming on for Draxler". Seconds after it was shown on screen.

 

[kippaxking79]

Screaming out for pace wide this German side. There's Sane sat at home scratching his balls whilst Muller marauds down the flanks towing a caravan.
