SPAIN WIN THE WORLD CUP

I doubt very much that the picture tells the whole story, anyone can take a snapshot in time & there's no way a hair would set it off or even register BUT you are 100% correct about the technological interference going too far & killing the game.

What's the new offside rule that Allan mentioned?

Wenger wants to give a few more inches to the attacker, which doesn't change marginal calls at all, it may lead to a few more goals though

If correct it will mean if there is light between attacker and defenders he's offside other than that hes onside so the two saw yesterday would be onside... its far easier to see daylight between players than than it is to see who's wearing bigger shoes or who's got bigger nose like it is at moment?

It won't change marginal calls Allen, it just kicks the can down tne road

Probably not but yhose marginal calls will surround whether can see daylight from head to toe? Also will they bring in hhe fifa technology for offside that seems to work better than var?

Ref needs to be sent home as soon as this is done.

Totally agree. It seems like the ref had been got at. No yellows for Paraguay when they should have had at least 6 and possibly a couple of sendings off too.

Galarza just ran around kicking people and taking sly digs all game. I thought it was brilliant when Mbappe was laughing in his face near the end of the game.

If the French players hadn't shown such restraint it could easily have turned into a pitched battle like the infamous "Battle of Santiago" between Chile and Italy in the 1962 World Cup.

I'm going to say Norway to win in extra time and Mexico to win in 90 minutes.

But two very difficult games to call tonight.

Usa player sent off as had is automatic one match ban suspended for a year? Secretary of state got involved and undoubtedly trump was on hot line to infantino..... this world cup is a joke totally ruined by yanks and their political interference.....

Something needs to change. Getting rid of FIFA completely would be a start has there ever been a more openly corrupt organisation

And to think we all thought it would be better when Blatter was gone.

There are corrupt governments all over the world, but none of them hold a candle to FIFA.

Brazil miss a penalty.

Bruno Guimaraes took it, don't know why Vinicius didn't.

Nyland having a brilliant game , oh hang on Harland has just scored a cracker 2-0 Norway!!!

2-0 to Norway with minutes left, both for Haaland.

It finishes 2-1.

All I can say is Erling Haaland is unreal.

Norway play Mexico or England in the quarter finals. I'm with mates and we're attempting to stay up for the England game.

Glad that Gary Neville is ripping apart Gabriel, it was terrible defending.

I'll be amazed if Mexico v England starts at 1, apparently the weather is awful there.

I'm prepared to be amazed, reports say the game will start on time as it stands.

2:00 am Kick- Off now ???

Turns out I was right in the first place, kick off delayed by an hour according to BBC

Nyland once upon a time was meant to be coming to us

Both sets of players are out warming up at the Azteca so it looks like we're set for kick off in about 50 minutes.

Don't know if anyone else is awake, but really impressed with Joe Hart as a pundit. Come a long way since he faced head and shoulders chants at CCS when he was at Man City.

Mexico seem a level above physically in midfield

Mexico definitely the better team as we head to the first hydration break.

Brilliant save by Pickford from Jimenez.

Rice is out of it already

England 1-0 up.

Bellingham.

Saying it's against the run of play is an understatement.

What on earth has just happened

2-0.

Bellingham again.

Mad thing is they were being battered up until then.

Mexico get a goal back.

Was just about to say the game isn’t over…

Can still see Mexico taking this is they don’t let the occasion get to them, hopefully this goal locks them in

Bellingham with two class goals, Ned; but both team efforts and Kane selfless for the second

Then Mexico go get a lifeline!

1-2 now!
