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

[Villa Lew]

Come on Morgan

[SamTheMouse]

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?

Also the fact that based on FIFA rankings this is the most competitive game in the first round.

The French commentators don't want it to end. They're saying it's the best game so far.

Anderson and Gordon have done fuck all.

Anderson's worked hard. Gordon's been rubbish.

Gordon is going for Rashford I reckon

[wolfman999]

Madueke is like a puppy chasing a baloon.

[Somniloquism]

Looks like Rashford as well.

[SamTheMouse]

That's two pretty bloody decent subs to bring on.

[cdbearsfan]

Ooh Rashy has new hair.

[Chip Butty 111]

I like Madueke but has not been "electric".

..like a low voltage Gary Numan...

[Brazilian Villain]

Rice and Gordon coming off.

[Dogtanian]

Ooh Rashy has new hair.

Yep, not a fan.

[Beard82]

Why have they got a kitchen in the TV studio - are they sharing with this morning?

[TonyD]

Rice off?
Stupid.

[Dogtanian]

Rice off.

[cdbearsfan]

Surprised they took Rice off. It's a (potentially) long tournament, I suppose.

[Somniloquism]

Bellingham dropping back into 8?
