48 minutes before the first punch-up and red card, not bad for Mexicans. :lol:

The Chileans managed 71 minutes before their first punch-up. :)

Wonder if Everton's form might be due to this.
Do the players want to be associated with the pal and executor for a tax-evading billionaire pal, with links to Putin?

Is there a strike on? There's zero televised football on tomorrow?

What a scorcher from Bale. Superb. But the keeper did that thing that I hate. Stops. As if to say I can't get that. Thats your job Pal!
Nontheless, pleased as punch for Cymru.

Just saw it on the news, it would have been hopeless.

The only occasion I remember being in goal, when I was eleven, the teacher later described one of my attempted saves as celebrating Christmas in July - the ball hit the back of the net and then I decided to dive. :lol:

There are times when you need to realise you're not gonna stop it.

I've been there so often. Long story. But you do not assume you cannot save a shot.
1. You have no idea how great you are until you try.
2. A pro keeper should fling himself/herself with 100% commitment. To crumble to your knees is just not goal-keeping.

Mancini scuttled off. That would seem to be the end for him.
With the greatest of respect to North Macedonia they could not have foreseen that result.
A very wonky result. Personally, I don't trust Italy at all so I wasn't very invested.
Corruption would seem to be alive and kicking in Russia and Italy et al.

What price was North Macedonia to win pre-match?

And how good are South Macedonia, or perhaps I should ask, why don't we have a North England and South England team? ;)

Most money was matched at 36, Italy 1.06

30 shots but maybe only 2 towards the goal....
As an Italian it was really a shame ... a flimsy team with no balls, there are no other words to describe the feeling
Macedonia in Italian means fruit salad, so now instead of pasta we eat fruit :lol: :oops: :oops:
