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

[Goldie.7]

They are just making up the rules as they go along now. Since when has a blatant foul on a corner by the opposing attacker been a retake of the corner?

Clown show...

[Somniloquism]

When the foul happens before the ball comes into play.

Bellingham is way less of a threat in this role. Strange move by TT

Yeah, I thought Eze had been brought on to play next to Bellingham and England adjust to playing with one DCM. We seem to have lost the momentum with Bellingham further back.  Gordon is anonymous, I just checked my phone to see if he was still on the pitch.

Losing even a half fit Rice has left our midfield way too exposed

Could have played Mainoo but decided to bring on Eze.

yep. There's no control at all in midfield now.

We could massively do with Tielemans. We have absolutely nobody to play the no.8 role!

[Exeter 77]

I had forgotten Mainoo was in the squad.

On the subject of corners, what is all this nonsense with placing the ball a centimetre outside the quadrant?

The deflection for the goal

4th Official is right in line of that and should have called it.

He probably wouldn’t look up, concentrating mostly on the players waiting to win it.

Slightly closer to the goal? But the curve of the ball is normally still over the line which is why it counts.

If Norwegian players didn’t spot it he wouldn’t!

[Somniloquism]

Reece James? Konsa finally being subbed or is Stones and Konsa moving inside?

[Brazilian Villain]

James on for Gordon.

[PeterWithesShin]

Snicko can pick up the ball brushinf a hair but not hitting a cable.
