Ibrahima Diallo’s brother at the back for Senegal.

Hopefully he's about the same useful level as his brother.

Senegal setting traps all over the fucking place.......

 

lol

Just heard Southgate yell ‘for fucks sake set some traps!’

[OttawaSaint]

Should VAR be banned?

I hear it's digital so it uses binary code. That's really upsetting for the non binary amongst us...

[stknowle]

McGuire will definitely cost us at some stage in this tournament. 

[FarehamSaintJames]

Did the referee there show him shouting “SHUT UP” to someone arguing that VAR decision? 😅

Fair play. I like this ref 👍🏻

[OttawaSaint]

Ball recovery 14s vs 29s seconds. Is that good?

I was about to complain to OFCOM when Lee Dixon used some bigoted stereotypes and called the Senegalese players fast and strong but thankfully his woke training kicked in and he remembered to add “and intelligent”

Does that mean we can describe them as naive if they concede a goal later?

I know it’s a cliche now but he’s fucking terrible.

Fuck knows. I'm still still trying to figure out xG. Now we have all this modern stuff to learn. 

[OttawaSaint]

Just sat down too quickly, my ball recovery was about 4 minutes, is that good?

Erratic I would suggest

I feel we need @saintant to logon and write off a player before we're going to score here

Any idea on current XG by the way?

We don't do xG now, do keep up. It's all about the spin and ball recovery. 

[whelk]

Hope this chip in the ball can tell us the average height of the ball when in play

We haven’t had a Soggy state of this country thread for a week or so, perhaps it’s needed 

[Lord Duckhunter]

Saka needs to fucking wake up….

[RedArmy]

10 receptions for Foden tonight, no mention of how many yards he got though.

So if that shot on Pickford was a 0.46 xG would the xS be 0.54? Or do you never to factor in missing the goal completely?

I'm sure he is pretty woke though. Probably has a equal rights for lesbian goal posts on his undershirt.

[adrian lord]

This is poor.

[trousers]

0-0 and penalties looking very likely here 

[egg]

The French manager will sleep well tonight. 

[stknowle]

All joking aside this looks as poor as i think we all feared it would after watching Holland comfortably dispatch a USA team we struggled significantly against. No fucking way are we winning this tournament.

[RedArmy]

Not seen much of Henderson’s “PASHUN!!!1111” tonight. Back to offering absolutely nothing to this team. 

[Sheaf Saint]

Walker is playing utter shit.

[OttawaSaint]

Kyle "walker", that's a bit ableist isn't it?

If it's organisation he brings, he ain't brought it onto the pitch.

In other news, Mrs Egg needs diversity training - just asked if their manager is Snoop Dogg.

Nice of Gareth to destroy our momentum by dropping Rashford.

Ah.. Henderson goal 👏

Hendo!

Well there’s a surprise.

Awesome goal. Bellingham has been best player so far.
