Can't believe the couldnt get in behind that Saudi team. but fair play to them, they did a job on them. Interesting !

tpbury Posted 22 November, 2022 Share Posted 22 November, 2022 I'm in Australia. Andy Townsend is the commentator.

Dark Munster Posted 22 November, 2022 Share Posted 22 November, 2022 For once I agree with FIFA. If there are 10 minutes of stoppages/time wasting then add 10 minutes of stoppage time.

verlaine1979 Posted 22 November, 2022 Share Posted 22 November, 2022 France seem very strong from front to back, and Mbappe looks a cut above anyone else I've seen so far.

Chewy Posted 23 November, 2022 Share Posted 23 November, 2022 I agree, a central clock and a set time would make sense, but until that rule change I support these extra minutes. The champions league final was a joke - I reckon we got about 3 mins of football in the 2nd half of extra time with all the ‘injuries’ suffered by Madrid players (one cb alone went down 3 times). Anything that discourages the practice of pretending to be injured to waste time should be supported IMHO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
