PBP Thread: Match #14, Tunisia vs England, 18 June 2018 [R]

Players like Courtois, Mounier, Carrasco, De Bruyne, Hazard and Lukaku should still be in their primes for 2022. Then you have Jordan Lukaku, Tielemans, Januzaj, Batshuayi and Origi who are just beginning to emerge.

 

Great attempt heading it in. Bit higher or to the left. Oh well, plenty of match left.

 

WOW PENALTY

 

Walker ‍♂️ what an idiot

 

Wow...flying elbow...PK for Tunisia....What a shame!

 

England getting [removed] in the box, but Tunisia gets the PK? That is idiotic by walker granted, but this feels like FIFA/Russia nonsense.

Mod note: inappropriate word removed.

 

I zoned out for a few seconds because I haven't slept all night, but was the head coach and the assistant coach going at it about what the players should do? All I say was the Tunisian coach boiling over in anger.

 

Penalty for Tunisia...!

 

The guy prays before pK?

 

maybe that was to get them to start to press and stop playing like little pussies? Don't know but this PK is dog $hit.

 

We have ourselves a ball game.

1-1

 

Scores!

1-1...

 

Nice PK...Messi should learn from this...lol

 

Deserved it, 1-1

 

Can't bullshit "mistakes" like the old days. Best keep your nose clean, England.

 

Game on...

 

This is the first match I've seen where I see a clear ref bias. It can't be a coincidence.

 

AFRICA!!!

 

England stormed through the first 10-15 minutes, but its been pretty even since then.

 

England better do what they've done historically outside of football. Conquer and destroy.

 

only batshuayi is quality player (possibly tielemans, too). The others don't impress me much

 

I don’t see any bias.

 

For the first time this WC, I don't like the PK call. Yes the arm was high, but there was hardly any contact. Walker had his back turned and was essentially just feeling where his opponent was. Diego Costa got away with something similar.

 

I loled

 

What are you on about? Clear elbow in the face.
