Ukraine vs North Macedonia

[Numbers]

Hopefully a good game. John Hartson reckons it could be game of the tournament

Not very good, are they, N Mac? Qualifiers as the 'best of the minnows'.

I'm going for 3-0 Ukraine.

Seem to be hanging in there okay

and on cue

Hartson's a bit harsh on NM there, perhaps. Lovely touch from the corner to flick it on.

Shame Macedonia didn't score THAT WAS NEVER BLOODY OFFSIDE

Eta: Good booking of the twat who took a dive. There's an argument for sending him off since player supposed to have tripped him might have been sent off?

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Very considerate social distancing from the Macedonian defence. Good 2 metres away at all times.

 

[Numbers]

I enjoyed that 1st half.

 

[Puddy_Tat]

I got N Macedonia in the work sweepstake

I think this will settle the revanchist arguments with the nationalists, Macedonia clearly isn't Greece because it's never going to win the Euros.

We didn't have a sweepie as we're not in the office but I'm always guaranteed to be the person going 'Oh Mozambique*. I didn't realise they were in the World Cup this time .'

*Insert random and not specially known for their football nation of your choice.

Bit of a shame for N. Macedonia, but who knows what the 2nd half brings..?

 

[Numbers]

Ireland

Ireland

Scotland. Except we wouldn't even be there obvs.

 

[Badgers]

Don't miss this ffs

 

[Lord Camomile]

Gah! So close to keeping that clean sheet!!

I mean, um, oh good, so happy for N. Macedonia...

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Clever little one-two off the keeper so that the goal isn't recorded as a pen.

 

[two sheds]

Goodoh

 

[Lord Camomile]

Oh, honestly, you can legitimately get hit and not fall on the pissing floor, lads

Although, I missed the replay, not sure if he even was legitimately hit..?

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Bit cheaty, Ukraine.

 

[two sheds]

Was hard to see on the replay, I couldn't see whether the Ukraine player broke his leg as it seemed.

No, he wasn't.

 

[two sheds]

Deserved a goal though, they've done well.

 

[two sheds]

Bloody hell, some head injury there from a brush. As you say, bit cheaty

You on delay?

 

[two sheds]

hehe yes a good 5 minutes

I saw the penalty on here before on ITV.

 

[two sheds]

Macedonia unlucky not to score 5 minutes ago

 

[Numbers]

Tsygankov who came on for Ukraine is absolutely dirt.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Yellow card for that! Harsh.

 

[Lord Camomile]

What is going on with penalties this tournament??
