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

[OzVilla]

That Gannon-Doak just looks like a headless chicken.

Ref has been great, been a proper game instead of fouls every 30 secs.

[Nev]

Throwing a pile of old rubbish on the pitch doesn't look like the answer.

[PeterWithesShin]

Scotland left it far too late to actually try and attack.

[villadelph]

While the flow of the game is great for entertainment, as a referee you cannot just fail to enforce the rules. He’s just letting them run through each others backs and there were plenty of bad tackles.

Ref has been great, been a proper game instead of fouls every 30 secs.

Seriously? The ref was absolutely shocking.

[Villa Lew]

Better from Scotland in the 2nd half, but not one decent chance created, the good news is they kept it down to only 1 goal.

[PeterWithesShin]

As I didn't care what the result was I enjoyed the ref letting so much go. It would have been even more boring if he'd been blowing constantly, and it was already very boring indeed.

Come on Haiti!

[CT Villan]

Ref has been great, been a proper game instead of fouls every 30 secs.

Seriously? The ref was absolutely shocking.

I'm with Pete3206, thought the ref was poor and somewhat biased against Scotland.

[Rory]

Don't think I quite understand this, mate.

[PeterWithesShin]

Birth countries of players at the WC. Top 10 places, so 98 players were born in France and so on.

Commentators excited as Brazil lead mighty Haiti 2-0.
