England v Iran

[Idaho]

Seems fairly comfortable. Iran haven't really done anything so far.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Nice goal from Bellingham.

 

[Idaho]

That was a good strike.

 

[Ted Striker]

Decent finish that, to keep the pace of it so it dips in the short space

 

[Idaho]

That was a decent goal as well.

 

[souljacker]

It's coming home!

 

[Idaho]

Iran are very grumpy. I wouldn't be surprised if we get some red card challenges.

 

[QueenOfGoths]

I'm glad the Iranian goalie went off, it was appalling that it appeared he was being made to stay on.

Saka's goal was immense!

Mr.QofG's has just said that.

I’m avoiding the soccer ball so I thought this was going to be about a war…

Iran are ranked 20th? Who designed the ranking system and why haven't they been fired.

I'm not watching it. What is the score?

 

[tommers]

4-0. Half hour to go.

 

[tommers]

Ah.

 

[Idaho]

4-1 now

 

[WouldBe]

5-1 now

 

[tommers]

Lovely from Rashford.

 

[souljacker]

That's a cracking finish

 

[Idaho]

The name font on the players backs is very annoying.

5-1

 

[WouldBe]

That's a cracking finish

You mean a cracking start.

 

[tommers]

Got to say fair play to the Iranian team for not singing their anthem / what they & their captain have said in interviews. Puts us not even wearing an armband in case we get a booking into perspective.

It's a strong, brave gesture given the potential for all kinds of awful shit when they get back.

Hard to believe that Bellingham is still a teenager - not 20 until next summer

If they go back.

Wasn't there a team (might not have been a football team) that sought asylum some years back?

 

[newme]

So many fouls from Iran and now a penalty for that?
