    Not enough to knock him over though.

    It wasn't very forceful, but it prevented the defender from jumping.

    I think it should have been disallowed.

    ;ok Grey

    Neymar is not having a good game.

    Coutenhio is making them tick.

    Must be only a matter of time before Brazil score again,

    This game had re-confirmed just how much I do not want Shaqiri at West Ham.

    Neymar has quality all around him - why did he not try and release to those around him far quicker instead of trying (and failing) to do it all by himself all game

    Legendary bit of punditry from Slav post-match. Guy is a legend.

    Neymar, although obviously impressive as a player, did not seem fit. Not fit enough to be his normal self. Not strong or quick enough to evade and cause the usual danger. Assuming he'll get fitter by the game though and, for me, Brazil are still the team to beat.

    England and other Group G-related bits and bobs moved to their own thread http://www.whu606.com/discussion/10602

    Sitting in class and watching a BBC stream. Who is that lady in pink? Don't recognise her.

    Captain of Senegal Cheikh Kouyate not in starting 11..... ;hmm

    The aged Beherami conjured up his past West Ham magic and put Neymar in his pocket. In little bits & pieces. The best performance of this WC so far ;clap

    Crazy goalkeeper moment ;wahoo

    You don’t see that everyday. Referee waves player on and he runs on and scores.
    Is that referee error?

    He should have also booked a Senegal player just before that for a deliberate foul to stop play.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Very poor by the ref imo, not strictly against the rules, but he should have chosen a better time to wave the player back onto the pitch.
  • OutcastLondonerOutcastLondoner
    Not sure it was such a bad time to wave the player on. They were in Senegal’s half. How could he’ve predicted such a loose back pass?

    Was a minor fitness issue (according to OS interview) - he hopes to start next match ;ok

    There's an awful lot of tackling going on in this Portugal v Morocco game. Great fun.
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    And I may add that a lot of the Portuguese tackling is awful. ;lol

    Just realised that the Morrocan Da Costa is the Manuel we had 2009-11 who had a bit of trouble in an Ilford nightclub. Ironic that he was a Portuguese U23

    Jenas and Kilbane lowering the punditry bar a bit further.

    Joan Mario looking a bit ordinary
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    Portugal looking very ordinary.
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    Pepe looking very ridiculous.
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    So there were 42 fouls and only two bookings, poor reffing imo.
    Only Fonte and Rui Patricio come out of it with any credit from a Portugal point of view.
    Don't want Carvalho, even on a free, on that performance.

    Ironherb.

    I thought he looked like a slow Yaya Toure if I'm honest.
  • PrestonHammerPrestonHammer
    What was I thinking going 3-0 to Uruguay. ;doh
  • MIAHammerMIAHammer
    Uruguay have been very unimpressive in both their games.
