    Hahaha I live in England and I get a lot of 'farmer's league' comments about Celtic winning domestically.

    Iran don't even have farms.

    Can't say I'm surprised that English and Welsh FA's and players backed down on the armband.

    To the point of making it public you going to wear them regardless, you've backed yourself into a corner that you must wear them, they cowered out and it if it wasn't already known, they care more for their reps than they do their fans

    I will admit I love international football more than club football (especially more than Champions League). Players fighting for their countries out of pride, the tactical setups born out of pools of players each country is stuck with, and the delicious hope for upsets on the big stage. But Qatar have left people like me with that bad feeling in the stomach. A lot of things aren't right.

    The Qataries paid for for the football so they want to get their money's worth.

    Looked to me like the attacker pulled the defender down if anything. Bad decision. Only 20 mins to go off here but the Argies don’t look like genuine contenders.

    Saudi Arabia look decent to watch, pressing, look energetic, playing a high line trying to attack when they can and even putting the boot in a bit.

    A lot better than what Qatar and Iran done in their games and even Wales who all just sat in not really attempting to do anything except defend although Wales did open up a lot more the 2nd half.

    Messi was standing offside and then joined the attack. Wonder if they are blaming him maybe obstructing the view of the GK.

    That looked on. Still no see a replay. They are managing to do the VAR a lot quicker than any league in the world also.

    If the runs are timed better then Argentina could have a field day here. Been poor so far.
