We sold Danny Ward to Leicester for £12.5m

THIS! Exactly what went through my mind when I watched England v Wales today, especially that free kick

He just looks out of his depth every time I watch him, whether for Wales or Leicester

Glad we got rid, and amazing at that price

Just dawned on me that Colombia didnt make the WC

Crazy with the amount of talent they have.

Really you could **** off a few of these Asian/Middle Eastern/African sides and include a couple of extra Sth American and European sides and it would be a much better spectacle. Theirs too much dross.

Is Diaz not their only stand out player these days?

[Irishnev]

Come on Poland……










Edit - I expect a loss and exit tonight and a country reflecting on Lewa’s missed pen vs Mexico

[Kenneth]

Farcical penalty. Utter shambles.

[Slinky Skills]

Hahaha ****ing justice! No way on earth was that a penalty. Corruption from Fifa ****ing scumbags!

Chesney wasn't even looking at Messi ffs, piss take isn't it!

[Kenneth]

It was given because it was Messi. I think he’s due to collect his player of the tournament medal at half time.

Portugal given two ridiculous pens in two games, and then this, it seems FIFA are desperate to keep Messi and Ronaldo in the World Cup.

Accurate description

Was a v soft pen but as Kenneth said it seems the “big” players are getting every decision. Watching with the family and following Poland is like following Ireland - destined to end in disappointment

Lewandowski sulking around the pitch as the captain would boil my piss if I was Polish. They’ve got out of jail in a big way but they won’t get past France based on this form

They are ****e with a ridiculously defensive manager, and will get thumped vs France. Lewandowski needs service and he gets zero from the rest of the team

True but what pissed me off the most about Lewa was his body language, even at 0-1 he looked defeated whereas he’s the captain & should be rallying the troops. After the match when word came through they’d snuck through to the next round he’s celebrating like they’d won the bloody thing. Not my type of captain that’s for sure. I hope France smack them

That’s beyond doubt
