And then he puts in the cross that eventually led to the goal. 1-0 IC

plus I think he looked better last match when he played on the right in the 1st half.

Yeah I’m pretty sure he prefers playing on the right and if I remember right it’s one of the reasons we are ahead of others for him as he’d get to play in his preferred position.

I feel sorry for Wirtz in this German side. He hardly sees the ball with Musiala being the main man

Is he trying to fit similar players into the team instead of picking one to be the creator and putting the right players around them? Going for the best players instead for the right players.

Well, he looked garbage on the right too. He's young, it's a difficult game and inconsistency is to be expected, but he looks like a big game at £100m, and I'm not sure that we should be in the big gamble business right now.

Wirz looks as anonymous for Germany as he does for us. Sell him.

Yeah I think you’ve hit the nail on the head. Once Musiala went off Wirtz saw more of the ball & set up at least two opportunities for his team that weren’t taken.

Uruguay vs Cape Verde, great game

Uruguay vs Cape Verde, great game

It was a great game wasn’t it. Next up NZ & Egypt. C’mon the Kiwis.

NZ are good to watch & surprising Egypt to lead 1-0

France Iran game suspended due to severe weather.

It's so hard to get up for an England game.

[Kenneth]

An abysmal half of football.

I think that Gordon is going to really struggle at Barcelona.

I think that Gordon is going to really struggle at Barcelona.

The very fact they signed him demonstrates just what a crap state Barca are in. Having said that, I'm glad he's gone there because it removes any possibility of his coming here.

Jordan Ayew is one of the worst players to somehow earn a living as a Premier League striker. He has averaged something like 1 in 6 or 1 in 7, as a striker. He had 1 in 20 on loan at Palace and they somehow made him permanent. He’s going to score isn’t he?

[Tatterdemalion]

This is terrible. It's like watching Liverpool
