World Cup 21/11/2022: Group stage - England v Iran

[Northstandboy]

Nasty nasty head clash between the Iranian goalie and his player.

Can’t see him staying on.

 

[boogaloo]

Here's what I don't get. Qatar likes to think of itself as morally superior to us all, yet the match is being played in a stadium named after porn star Mia Khalifa.

 

[Northstandboy]

He’s staying on!

He should be forced to go off.

Former porn star you mean!

 

[McXal]

Astonishing decision not to give us an early VAR pen as well…

 

[unification]

A mad non penalty decision and a keeper looking punch drunk.

What a World Cup so far …

 

[Foley]

Can anybody explain to me how Maguire being manhandled and dragged to the ground isn't a penalty?
Surely the referee has made a clear and obvious error and VAR should point it out?

 

[Foley]

How was the gk allowed to stay on?
Madness

He’s going off eventually.

 

[chuckbert]

Lol. England players doing training drills while they wait!

 

[Wallop]

94% England possession after 20 minutes

 

[Leysboy]

Maguire being on the pitch is a giggle. Southgate and his favourites.

The sooner that negative is gone the better.

 

[Northstandboy]

Nasty challenge on Shaw! A deserved yellow.

 

[Northstandboy]

Cynical found and no yellow!

Oh god

We've not got four weeks of Southgate out messages on the way have we?

I refer you to many, many Oxford games this season where exactly that has happened to our players in the box with no punishment!!

But we don't have VAR. VAR seems to decide there is no foul?

 

[bazzer9461]

The ref has got to get a grip a lot of niggly fouls being committed by Iran

 

[Thomas/Brock/Jones]

Oh god

Mixes it up with the Robinson out ones though!!

 

[Jolteon]

It's like watching prime Wycombeball
