I'm not too surprised that Denmark have been poor. I thought they were being overhyped a lot because of their Euros run. Particularly in attack, I don't think they have that much talent outside of Eriksen and Hojbjerg. Didn't expect Tunisia to have the talent to really hurt them though. From what I've seen so far I could see Tunisia sneaking a win, they've been good. I reckon France will win this group very easily.
Day 3: Argentina vs Saudi Arabia | Denmark vs Tunisia | Mexico vs Poland | France vs Australia
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Who is the lady on the ITV punditry? She has good insights.
I think Hjulmand might put Lindstrøm on instead of Eriksen.
Biggest game of the year and our manager got it all wrong. One of the worst 45 minutes we have played and it’s unfortunately in the WC.
Delaney getting injured might be a blessing in disguise. Hopefully we go back to 4-3-3. There’s absolutely no reason to play with 3CBs and this hoofball needs to stop.
we are playing so nervously and just hoofing it up. Just need to get Eriksen in the middle and keep the ball on the ground. So many players getting way too deep and then Dolberg ends up being isolated up top.
The worst thing is Tunisia doesn’t even look good. It’s not like Saudi Arabia who played a blinder.
This is fecking embarrassing. Pro footballers who looks like scared schoolboys. At least go out with some fight…

Nah it will be Lindstrøm for Skov Olsen…
Congratulations. Do you or any Saudi actually foresee this result? Still in disbelief at the biggest upset in World Cup history. Must be crazy party scenes over in Riyadh now. I think the near travelling distance also plays a part, you're basically playing at home.
This world cup is Neymar’s for the taking. I hope he bags it
This ref is ruining any chance of us winning this
He's been brilliant this season and I feel like he hasn't gotten any credit for it. I would actually like him to do well. He gets way too much unfair hate imo
Can’t seriously want him to win it? Obviously would be good because we have Brazilian players but can’t stand Neymar. Remember when he had a fit when we knocked them out of CL
Agreed, and ballon d'or to follow
He looks like the sort who love his warm weather judging by his previous destinations..... Unless the Saudis build a giant climate controlled dome over the city.Next Newcastle manager
Laïdouni looks like a player. Also, he's lost his marbles.
Thanks.
The expectations were not to get embarrassed and to win it was out of the ordinary against bloody Leo Messi. Our boys made the history book and this day will not be forgotten ever.

Hope he scores. He'll go mental.
He plays in the Hungarian league. If he has a good tournament surely a candidate to get a move in Jan.
He might end up assaulting and injuring two of his own players in the celebration.
Wen hanibal?
Great finish that
Denmark in total control now.
Neymar is class. Take away the play acting he is one of the most entertaining footballers around.Can’t seriously want him to win it? Obviously would be good because we have Brazilian players but can’t stand Neymar. Remember when he had a fit when we knocked them out of CL
One of the last true entertainers left outside of the robotic machines we have today.
Mejbri up and running with a few others.
I think we can safely say that Salem Aldawsari and Aissa Laïdouni will be on the list of players who might get career changing moves after the WC.
I thought Tunisia were terrible at the last World Cup vs England. Stuck 11 behind the ball the entire time.
They've been better today though, more attacking.

Lovely to see some atmosphere though.

The Argentina loss I think emphasizes again that new blood is needed. The likes of Di Maria are too predictable by now, they're unlikely to suddenly show a new level at the World Cup.
It's why I prefer Bellingham to start over someone like Jordan Henderson.

Have to say this has been the most enjoyable game of the tournament so far, despite the lack of goals. A real tussle and a great pace to the game.
Why would anyone want Henderson to start?
Why has Lord Bendtner retired from the NT, again? Dolberg looks so ineffective.
Edit: Dolberg taken off immediately after my post. Someone's reading the caf.

agree that he’s class. But I’m not a big fan of footballers who do a lot of play acting.
Lindstrom is a good sub
Atmosphere looks dead in most games… not surprised though with the timings that the games are on. Not everyone can go to the stadium as they’ll be working. Wales fans was in good spirits last night though.Tunisians celebrating every pass like they're up 3-0

Saudis hardly ever leave their league though
Very good save
Both keepers good up to now.
