And France looks ridiculously good.

They have so many weapons.

Looking at the highlights there were some fantastic individual goals in today's games.

All 6 goals were pretty good in the first 2 games, Amad's was probably the pick but it was a high bar.

France look unreal.

MiketheSnow

Difficult to assess because of the opponent - but they did qualify for the R32 by beating Germany - but Mexico could have scored 10 last night

They look formidable

@MajorStokes

anton and nagelsmann clearly didn't bother to read the memo

shearer is going off his head because he's in the strikers club
i'd be checkin on his health if he said anything else

noticed everyone steering clear of the keeper at SP today

a tremendous amount of BS goes on in the penalty area at set piece, almost like a rugby ruck, with no ball!
the refs cant handle it
only seem to really intervene when the GK gets caught up in it

i'm thinking the ref should be able to award free kicks in the penalty area while the ball is still dead at SP
that'd clean it up a fair bit pretty quickly IMO

the thing is, anton probably didn't need to get involved
it was a good header
anton fucked up, and the krauts are out

No comment on Schmeichel?

The keeper conned is the overall point. Var and ref should be above that.

FIFA / Collina have to back the ref given what would occur if they said he got it wrong.

DR Congo leading a very tame England 1-0 in Atlanta.

1-0 to the Africans at half time. Great heart and belief from them so far.

MiketheSnow

England has done well to get back in to this

Great saves from Dr Goalie

Nuts of Steel

Doctor Congo deserve the lead

Just

MiketheSnow

Good to see that even in the simplest team sport in the world the refs and TMOs can be inconsistent

Will give rugby officials more slack in the future

sparky

Ref and TMO got it right in my opinion.

It was a massive dive by Kane. No penalty.

MajorStokes

Congo doing a Ghana … England can’t get past the goalie.

Early exit incoming!

Don’t think was penalty but I’ve never ever seen that not be a penalty!

sparky

Past the hour mark. DR Congo still lead but are tiring. Can England's substitutes get them a goal?

sparky

England equalise. Great cross by Gordon. Harry Kane does the rest.

sparky

England looking a lot better since Djed Spence went off.

sparky

Kane gets another for England which probably takes them out of jail.

MajorStokes

Fuck me, what a finish.

Was asking my Geordie buddy wtf Gordon adds.

Two assists later.

sparky

England wins 2-1. Sets up an exciting last 16
match against Mexico in the Azteca.
