This Belguim performance has all the hallmarks of a manager that's in the midst of a mutiny.
Batshuayi appeared not have read the script.
But I'm staying in to see what happens. I may well regret it.

Every chance that Canada get on goal, seems to end up at the foot of a player better suited to being a punter for a crap NFL team. You'd swear they never even expected to get a shot on goal so bypassed shooting in all training sessions.

Saw William Hill still had 50/1 for Ferran Torres golden boot after his first (maybe second) goal so had a £1 bet on it (the max they would give me after restrictions). They've now emailed me to see it was their mistake and they will keep the bet but settle at 14/1 if it wins... UK gambling industry is a joke :/
It's been a weird WC so far. Seems the FIFA ranking gaps mean nothing. Perhaps game 2 will clear the fog and we'll get a better grip on the real contenders.

Surely they gave you an option to cancel the bet if 14/1 was unacceptable to you?callum1622 wrote: ↑Wed Nov 23, 2022 9:14 pmSaw William Hill still had 50/1 for Ferran Torres golden boot after his first (maybe second) goal so had a £1 bet on it (the max they would give me after restrictions).

Nope. They said this: "In this case we will settle your selection at the best genuine price available in the market at the time your bet was placed. In this case that was 14/1." Ive responded to at least void it (Betvictor doing 20/1 haha) but more the principal how they can get away with it so casually that frustrates me...jamesedwards wrote: ↑Wed Nov 23, 2022 9:41 pmSurely they gave you an option to cancel the bet if 14/1 was unacceptable to you?callum1622 wrote: ↑Wed Nov 23, 2022 9:14 pmSaw William Hill still had 50/1 for Ferran Torres golden boot after his first (maybe second) goal so had a £1 bet on it (the max they would give me after restrictions).

Was it obviously overpriced? They probably rely on their "palpable error" clause in the R&R.callum1622 wrote: ↑Wed Nov 23, 2022 10:44 pmNope.

I don't think there's anything to stop the players wearing rainbow coloured under-shirts or bra-top things that have the motion sensor monitor things inside and pulling their shirts over their heads after they scored. It's not removing the shirt so not a yellow card offence.
Credit to the Germans, the hands over the mouth at the team picture is the best protest so far!
FIFA has threatened sanctions to anyone wearing the armband but refused to say what or to what severity, so an after-match yellow card would be a real risk that most teams won't want to take. But I agree, smart move by the Germans and the German minister. That FIFA president must feel a right tit.Dublin_Flyer wrote: ↑Wed Nov 23, 2022 11:13 pmI don't think there's anything to stop the players wearing rainbow coloured under-shirts or bra-top things that have the motion sensor monitor things inside and pulling their shirts over their heads after they scored.

But palpable error does not equal "we're going to keep your money and give you a shit price". How can they not at least offer a void bet?Derek27 wrote: ↑Wed Nov 23, 2022 11:03 pmWas it obviously overpriced?
