World Cup
I've been impressed how the 'smaller' sides have done, give the concerns about the expansion of the tournament. Only a few heavy defeats. It made me wonder about who's been eliminated, so in the great statistical traditions of this board - teams eliminated by Conference:
Oceania: 1 out of 1 (100%) - noting Australia qualify as an Asian nation!
Asia: 7 out of 9 (78%)
North America 3 / 6 (50%)
Europe 3 / 16 (19%)
South America 1 / 6 (17%)
Africa 1 / 10 (10%)
Given that Oceania have to have a place, Asia represents half the world's populations and North America are over represented as triple hosts, I can't find too much to argue with those numbers and representation.

I do think we can be judged more when we play teams that come to beat us rather than not be beaten, we looked really good team aside from some poor defending against Croatia, it felt like a new start. On one level it's disappointing that we can't break these lesser teams down, as it's what teams like City and Madrid etc have to do each week, to exploit a superiority in talent and break down a side trying to defend, yet we have seen with many sides already in this World Cup, that it's not as easy as it would appear on paper.
After Congo, all teams will be coming at us and that's when this tournament really begins. -

Commentators and pundits keep praising us though regardless. They’re constantly going on about our strong we are going forward but a few nervy moments at the back because we keep changing our back four. The real reason is we are poor defensively and are going to really come unstuck against a team with a potent attack such as France, Spain, Brazil etc. -

Not the greatest start for England- not moving the ball anywhere quickly enough through midfield….on at least three occasions in the opening 20mins we had players on the ball in the middle of the park literally standing still. -
Who will stay, who will jump ship.
My take is that Fernandes moving to Spurs would be less disrespectful and more surprising, I am expecting him to have multiple offers to chose from and I doubt that one from Spurs would win the day.

Oh my, the Iran vs Egypt game, the Iranians can feel robbed, they really felt they had “won” it in the 93rd minute but the goal was disallowed due to the most fractional of offsides.
He was offside by literally half of one boot and for me, it initially looked like there was an outfield player clearly playing them on but in the melee, the keeper had also crept forward beyond consideration soooo striking it off was strictly correct, but it was so so close.
They also hit the post in those final frantic minutes..
I think they will still go through and from what I have seen of them, they deserve to -

Considering they've from so many different places, the refs have been fairly consistent at corners, fakery, yellow cards etc. A few are out of their depth, but VAR hasn't been needed (or used) much.
