Having watched the game yet again i wouldn't be alone in saying that the ref for the England V France games should never be allowed to ref an international again

Parents of kids can be ferals mate. I see it in my kids teams all the time.

Always chuckled at parents a basketball and netball. Quite vocal in basketball and silently muttering at netball (probably don’t understand the calls btw)

The funny thing is the keepers tend to be good penalty takers.

No pressure. I make it 20-20 to the goalies so far in the wc finals

Maybe the goalies take pens against each other in training

About the ONLY change to football I'd consider would be the penalty shootout....

I'd support a rule whereby the opposition chooses your first 5 spot kickers....

Might be kinda fun :p

InB4 they all take a penalty like Harry Maguire.

I'd make it more like you start with the ball about 30 yards out and have a proper 1 on 1 with the keeper rather than a spot kick.

Keith Hackett who reffed dozens of top flight games would agree with you. As he points out, it is interesting that Fifa has still not provided photographic evidence to support VAR on how this was not a penalty.

I know its not on thread, AND I have cross-posted....(mods, don't bash me)

BUT....its Tommy Rogic's first for WBA, so let's see what we missed....although, I agree with Arnie's non-selection.

They wont for obvious reasons, which suggests it was a penalty, otherwise why wont they release photographic evidence

im not saying neutrals never get behind underdogs. It just seems to happen a lot less then in other sports.

Wrexhams not an underdog. they are so cashed up compared to their competitors now its ridiculous.

morocco isnt getting the love they would in other sports from neutrals.

It's a 5th division club from a shyte Welsh town. It's kinda a underdog story even with RR money.

I thought Morocco got a bit of love

They're still a big fish in the pond they're swimming in. If they get to the Championship then they're an underdog.
