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

[Nev]

Thats that then.

[Dogtanian]

You’d be happy to see that as an England player, surely.

[Chip Butty 111]

After seeing a couple of replays, a pen for me. Nowhere near the ball and stuck his kneecap into the back of Spence. If you run across someone and they stick their leg in its a foul. Touch the ball its a different conversation

[olaftab]

Spence got in front of the defender, doesn’t matter if he moved his leg out to protect the ball.Penalty all day long.

Except he didn’t do that to protect the ball. A bit Spursy IMO

[Crown Hill]

That’s a clear penalty for me. Irrelevant he stuck his leg in front of him he was bundled over! They over thought that one!

Don't talk wet.

You thought there was no contact?

Of course there was contact. Spence threw his leg back and went over. Never a penalty, which is why people with eyes overturned it.

That’s gibberish!

[Steve67]

Rogers seems to be more like a six. Eze and Bellingham further forward. Very odd.

He's being responsible and sensible, recognising the gaps and he's plugged them, which is why we seem to have settled down.

[Dogtanian]

Norway seem to be most threatening at corners.

True and Norway have left space for him as they tired!

[Dave]

Cd has it right. Feel like it could go either way, so a bit odd it was overturned as the decision to give it was hardly a bad decision.

But it's hardly the worst call in the world that it was.

[Somniloquism]

Norway seem to be most threatening at corners.

Which is probably why Strand Larsen is on. I will state he can hold the ball up better then Haaland.

[PeterWithesShin]

We settled down a bit after he fixed his starting 11 and then his first set of subs.

[Dogtanian]

The first World Cup semi since 2018? 

[AlexAlexCropley]

A lot of England players seem to be initiating fouls. I blame Kane.And Bellingham.

[Percy McCarthy]

I thought if that wasn’t a penalty, then neither was the one they gave against Kane the other day, when the opposition player managed to put his leg across Kane’s foot as he was in the act of clearing the ball.

[Dogtanian]

Oh fuck off Saka.
