Poor comparison. The defender wasn't protecting the ball, he was trying to win it back. He wasn't shielding it and using his body in that way, he essentially tripped the opposing player.

Disagree, the Canadian player would have struck the ball with the foot that the South African player impeded, essentially trapping his leg from being able to kick the ball.

It was a kangaroo court. The appeal would have done fuck all no matter our preparation, speed or convincingness.

Absolutely. They've commented that our defence isn't a strength and that our attack is, but even then - compare the likes of Madueke, Eze, Gordon to the talents of France, Germany Spain and you see that we are pretty light in depth of quality.

Whereas the trio of Walcott, Rooney and Giroud is coma-inducing...

Kane defending like a true captain there.

Anderson has been fucking brilliant.

They're there for the taking

This is a fucking long half time break, right?

On the balance of things, all square at the break is about fair.

Where's VAR when you need it?

In Ward-Prowse territory

Very Lambert-esque. Bullet header.

Perisic must be getting on now!? Not to mention old Modric! Passing it about neatly, Croatia, seem to have a bit more cohesion about them than us.

What happens if he signs a contract with us before September? Are people still going to wish him an injury?
