Day 2: England vs Iran | Senegal vs Netherlands | USA vs Wales

[KirkDuyt]

Yes Cody you beautiful bastard

 

[Judas]

He’s been massively underwhelming but massively important goal.

 

[Tom Van Persie]

Is that the guy we’re interested in?

Yep. He was the alternative to Antony.

 

[PoTMS]

Good news for England. Although on this showing, not much in it between these two teams.

 

[Tony247]

Gapko wow

 

[mu4c_20le]

What a ball from Klaassen.

 

[MDFC Manager]

Mendy though didn't get near the ball

 

[WeePat]

Did you not watch Iran? They recently sacked their coach, they have protest in their country which influences the team and lost their goalkeeper. That team has issues and Iran is cannon fodder. Just compare their players to Senegal their players. Thats a massive difference.

Senegal is a much better team than Iran. I would expect the lower ranked Poland or Serbia to also beat number 20 Iran.

Bit of a reach there, no?

 

[Wrecking ralf]

Proper centre forwards run that

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Is that the guy we’re interested in?

Guys, plural.

 

[Pronewbie]

Get in Gakpo! Bet salvaged(?) Shades of Van Persie in 2014.

 

[Smacky The Frog]

sad

 

[Samid]

Mendy is hideous

 

[lex talionis]

I hope we're done now with dismissing Gakpo because he's not a traditional CF.

 

[WeePat]

Mendy in no mans land there

 

[MDFC Manager]

Guys, plural.

Good one

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Close from Senegal.

 

[RedDevil@84]

Have we bought him yet??

 

[RedDevilQuebecois]

That Dutch goalkeeper is writing the headlines in this second half.

 

[Big Ben Foster]

The headers so far in this WC have been unreal

 

[Kaos]

Yep. He was the alternative to Antony.

And now looking like Ronaldo's replacement

 

[RedDevilMachine]

Finally we get a game.

 

[Smacky The Frog]

Mendy is hideous

Has been a disaster for a while now.

 

[DWelbz19]

Mendy’s rise and fall off was so rapid. 15 minutes of fame indeed

 

[RedDevil@84]

Come on Senegal

 

[aganley]

The Dutch have been diabolical.

Do you think FDJ

Yes Cody you beautiful bastard

FDJ only contribution of the game. So pleased we missed out on him and got Casemiro.

 

[Who's Kissing Cameras?]

Gakpo come my way.

 

[Withnail]

Great shot. Good save

 

[RedDevilMachine]

I know it's only one half of football, but Gapko hasn't impressed me at all so far.

He'll probably score two in the second half now.

Well done.

 

[Wing Attack Plan R]

Game sparked to life finally

 

[Adam-Utd]

The headers so far in this WC have been unreal

? that was about as bang average as you can get. Brave and a well timed run, but not a bullet header.

 

[That_Bloke]

Classic african team. Always a brainfart to ruin the day.

Feck.

 

[Hernandez - BFA]

Bit of a reach there, no?

They didn't sing the anthem out of protests with a few players speaking out about the shitshow going on over there. Certainly not a wild statement to say.

 

[Bobski]

Oooh that was some fecking awesome team.

Yep, then look at the squads of France, Italy, Brazil, Argentina, Croatia, England around that time, brilliant period for football.

 

[JB08]

So one game cancels out the thrashing he gave Belgium only a few months ago?

“So one game cancels out one game?”

By definition…. yes, it does.

 

[CallyRed]

Most underserved win in world cup history

 

[Kaos]

Bit of a reach there, no?

Hardly a reach. The country is in an extreme state of turmoil to the point their own people are jeering the team.

 

[Withnail]

? that was about as bang average as you can get. Brave and a well timed run, but not a bullet header.

Yeah he did well but what was the keeper at?

 

[Rooney in Paris]

Has been a disaster for a while now.

So many Chelsea fans were acting like he was the second coming of Cech for a long time.

 

[Dudu]

That corner sums up Senegal perfectly.
