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

I do think VAR should show real time and slowed down, give the ref the best chance of making the correct decision.

[Brazilian Villain]

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

It wasn't really. As the co-comm correctly said on Irish TV said, he was just trying to to put his foot on the ground rather than the opponent.

[PeterWithesShin]

It's a red card, an unfortunate one but that will be a red every day in the WC.

[Skipper_The_Eyechild]

Yeah, it's really unlucky but it is probably a red. He will be a big miss if/when they get through.

Feel like the red card has just delayed the US wrapping up victory so I can't get to sleep. Bosnia still aren't looking like scoring. Or even having a shot.

[PeterWithesShin]

It seems like BOSHER have done smeg all but they've had the same number of shots as the USA with more on target.

Jonathan Pearce has been commentating for about fifty years but still doesn't seem to know how offside works. It was so clearly offside I was worried that there must have been a Bosnian out of shot that we hadn't seen.

[PeterWithesShin]

Ripples were miles offside.

[Brazilian Villain]

It's hard to sympathise with BOSHER when their manager wears white trainers with a double-breasted navy blazer.

[KRS]

BIH are properly shit.

[cdbearsfan]

BIH are properly shit.

They'd have to improve to reach that standard.

[Brazilian Villain]

Yesssss, 2-0 to the Ripples. Jolly good show!

[cdbearsfan]

And the goalie is shite, too.

Remember when he had this mare?

[PeterWithesShin]

Crisp packet hands.
