[Lord Camomile]

Sorry Badgers, had to start it mesel'

Don't know if this was true on regular TV, but on the web player ITV managed to miss the kick off by 30+ seconds

Russia on the front foot at the moment.

GoooooooooooOOOOOOOAAAAAALSKI

 

[Lord Camomile]

Russia lead!

One of them was technically offside, but wasn't part of play.

 

[MrSki]

Russians 1 - 0 up & you got the date wrong 

 

[Lord Camomile]

Russians 1 - 0 up & you got the date wrong

You have no evidence of that

Is the thread title in the correct format?

 

[Wilf]

Is the thread title in the correct format?

Do you want it in the Cyrillic alphabet?

 

[Lord Camomile]

Is the thread title in the correct format?

I C+P'd Badgers suggestion*, although added the group and used / instead of . for the date. Personal preference.

*this may or may not be why there is a dispute about the original title. I neither confirm nor deny.

 

[Lord Camomile]

That looked like the Saudi corner taker aimed it at the first Russian player. Right at his head.

 

[Lord Camomile]

He was neeeeeever gonna get that ball away at that pace with no-one in the box. That's where I wish players would think for a second rather than just playing by instinct.

 

[Teaboy]

Its been a pretty bright first 30 minutes. Not a particularly high standard but good fun to watch all the same.

 

[friedaweed]

Russian fans are a bit shite. Where's their Barmicheskaya Armiya

You watching the tidlywinks world cup final on Channel 5?

 

[Lord Camomile]

Not a particularly high standard

Some of the simple passes that S. Arabia have messed up have been... well, notable, to say the least.

Internet porn.

 

[Sprocket.]

Nice goal!

 

[Dr. Furface]

Crap defending but still a well taken goal

 

[binka]

Better to have 1 topic per group don't you think?

 

[Threshers_Flail]

I keep seeing the red shirts in the corner of my eye and momentarily get excited that Wales are playing. I must be tired.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Better to have 1 topic per group don't you think?

No, one thread per game, as it has always been!

Missed the second and third goals because of work

 

[Lord Camomile]

Saudi Arabia with 62% possession

 

[binka]

No, one thread per game, as it has always been!

I'm gobsmacked to see such reactionary attitudes on U75

1 per group allows for easier between game discussions on specific teams.

You can have a group thread as well, if ya want

 

[Threshers_Flail]

If they had any streets left in Yemen they'd be dancing on them right about now.

 

[Sprocket.]

Goal of the match.

 

[Maggot]

Cracking late goal!

 

[Lord Camomile]

"Comfortable"

Russia were a lot better than thought. Before anyone says Saudi Arabia are totally crap and there for the taking I watched Spain struggle against them the other night.
