2-0 to Belgium, Lukaku. Good finish.

I"ve noticed Columbia playing in a friendly tonight with 39 year old Luis Suarez playing for them. No sign of Jhon Duran, not even on the bench. What has happened to his career? He's gone downhill rapidly and he's still only 22. Such a wasted talent.

On a sabatical back in Columbia from Zenit St Petersburg who hint that all is not well with him. And isn't Suarez from Uruguay?

That’ll be 28 year old Columbian Luis Suárez, rather than 39 year old Uruguayan Luis Suárez

The Colombian Luis Suárez is 28. His more famous Uruguayan namesake hasn't made their World Cup squad.

Edit: why you, Redsox!

You can still take the minor win of spelling Colombian correctly.

Good save by the Ghanaian keeper from Dan James. The Welsh 150th anniversary shirt looks great.

[Brazilian Villain]

Then Dan James hits the bar. Keeper just got a touch, another good save.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Never heard of this Uruguayan Luis Suárez, probably named after Colombia's finest.

[dr.chekov]

Thomas Partey should have been sent off.

[Brazilian Villain]

Thomas Partey should have been sent off.

Agreed, Show Rapism the Red Card.

The delayed offside flag could almost become a thing of the past after Fifa unveiled new technology to be used at the 2026 World Cup.

Fifa will introduce advanced semi-automated offside for video assistant referees (VAR) which should make decisions faster and mean an assistant can raise the flag rather than wait for a move to play out.
