Yeah, they don't look great.

[PeterWithesShin]

This must be an amazing feeling for a player

Kane, 72 goals in 62 games this season.

I do like the unashamedly massive fuck off stadiums in America.

[cdbearsfan]

Gonna be controversial here, but I reckon Bosnia should maybe try to kick the ball towards the American goal occasionally.

I do like the unashamedly massive fuck off stadiums in America.

It's probably been my favourite bit thinking 'that's a fucking mad stand'.

[charlatan]

Don't Japan this, Senegal.

Don't forget how sad it'll make the Senegal homophobes though.

Hurrah! But Belgium seems to have quite a lot of racists, I believe.

Who will Senegalese homosexuals and Arabs in Belgium be supporting?

No idea, but I assume the homophobes that I was talking about, who were on the pitch for Senegal probably weren't happy with the trajectory of the game.

What does caring more about the feelings of the haters than the hated say about you?

Probably nothing really. For the last thirty years I've tried to comfort myself that the result of any football match that isn't going the way I'd prefer via the fact that some bad people are also a bit annoyed by it.

This is the thousandth of so version of that.

You crack on with your weirdness though.

Weird to point out that your schadenfreude undermines your virtue signalling? Weird to demand logical consistency from those who regularly opine on the moral judgement of others?

[cdbearsfan]

I'd imagine he is asleep. Anyone that uses the term "virtue signalling" unironically is dreadful. Imagine getting yourself in such a state because someone doesn't like homophobia.

In short, yes. Very weird.

[PeterWithesShin]

It's probably a red, but an unfortunate red.

[cdbearsfan]

US down to ten men. Perhaps Bosnia might try, now.

[adrenachrome]

Yank sent off.

Jolly good show.

[Skipper_The_Eyechild]

Yeah, it looks bad in slow-mo.

[Brazilian Villain]

That's not a red. It's a painful one for the BIH defender but there was no intent to foul.

[cdbearsfan]

There doesn't need to be intent, it just needs to be reckless/dangerous, which it was.

[PeterWithesShin]

Doesn't have to be intent for it to be deemed dangerous.
