I'm not gonna judge Big Sam on 13 minutes 0 - 0, even if it's remarkably similar to Woy England

This game is pretty bad

The mighty Polish national team has conceded two goals in 10 minutes. Against Kazakhstan.

Time to watch the Good Norwegians against the Englishmen

Sadly even the Good Norwegians are pretty bad at defending so let's hope they score goals

Hmmm turns out our defense is even worse than anticipated

Spain should let Italy have the ball a bit so maybe something will happen this game

E: Italy may want to take advantage of a crossing opportunity instead of doing that

the players were practically past the penalty spot by the time he hit the ball

shameful reffing not to pull it back imo

Shameful to call Diego Costa offside in the first half, shameful to not send him off later, shameful to give Immobile offside in the second, shameful to not call the penalty back....etc. This ref sucks.

At least he got some help calling the penalty right

First half was bad like the ref, but the second half, was good, unlike, the, ref

Their first WCQ goal in 15 years

the first goal was a San Marino own goal so they're clearly the most adept goalscorers on the pitch

I don't keep up with CONMEBOL stuff but have Argentina been as bad as it seems since the WC final loss?

I mean I guess a lot of finals can't be that bad but I swear any time I actually watch them play they look less than the sum of their parts.

Nice defending Argentina!

Messi is a bad leader and unable to drag a team of garbagemen to international glory.

He's a mild-mannered autist, it's not fair to lay that kind of burden on him. Not all great players are leadership material. But if Cristiano was Argentinian he'd have led them to a WC win two years ago for sure OP.

He's definitely bad at staying on schedule

Lol Spain had 93% possession at the 10 minute mark according to my live updater

Also, they scored a goal

Defoe is good and all but he shouldn't be England Starter good and also he's real old now, it's pretty funny that he's apparently the second choice striker atm

This is boring

England should just start running at them instead of doing this careful searching for openings thing. As a person from another poo poo footballing country similar to though not quite Lithuania with much experience watching bad football countries play I can guarantee the players in yellow and green will have no loving clue how to handle this and probably crash into eachother or scuff a clearance or make a red card tackle or something.

I've heard of some of those players

Not great things but I've heard of them



Also I see my friends in Estonia took a mighty win in a pointless friendly prestige squad-evaluation strength-test tonight, which is good

Smart of the Englishmen, getting used to losing to German pens at a young age so it doesn't impact them as badly when it matters

Hmmm can't say I'm a fan of this ending right after the first miss, where are all the tense shots of downcast fans, worried English players who miss a second/third time, etc?

E: 3rd I guess, brainfart on first two while writing, point was no team got to lead for several pens

Ref is an enormous pussy

Also the pundits here claim you're not supposed to give a yellow based on VAR only red or nothing, I dunno if that's true but if correct it's doubly lol

There better be a red by the end at least
