Other Games - 2026 FIFA Men’s World Cup Edition (+ warm-up matches): Villa-watch

[Somniloquism]

England should have had three goals at this half already.

Are people gonna stop crying every time Bellingham goes near the ball now?

If he does something decent with it, then yes. When he doesn't, which was most of the first half, of course he will get pelters. If Gordan gets a goal will that mean all the first half criticism was wrong?

No, but when a player has mostly done well, like Bellingham, and England are winning against a good team, all this crying is weird. It's 2021 all over again.

Great goal from Bellingham, he should have had a brace, too.

[Dogtanian]

Looking more like it now.

What had he done well 1st half? Big reason we allowed the first, could easily have cost a goal earlier as well.

Getting lively.

On his leg to make him play better?

Did ITV really just say game of the tournament so far?

Given most people want goals and for it not to be one-sided, 2-2 at half time seems...fine to judge it like that?

Game of the tournament though? Each to their own I suppose

Which first half up to now has been better?

I don't really have a dog in the fight. Maybe there is one. But it hardly feels like a crazy suggestion.

Great effort by Rice.

They've clearly had a rocket up their arses at HT.

[Dogtanian]

Is Rice really the best corner taker in the world?

Is Rice really the best corner taker in the world?

Not, it's just that at Arsenal he has the cheatiest teammates.

[Somniloquism]

Is Rice really the best corner taker in the world?

I suspect because Arse score so many set pieces and he normally delivers them, he is getting that moniker from the lazy press.

[Dogtanian]

Pfft.

[Brazilian Villain]

Should have been 4.

[Stu]

Keeper did well
