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

VAR ?

 

YES! You can't push and whinge, Tunisia.

 

Really? The referees on this forum seem to disagree:

Harry Kane wrestled to the ground in the area. Blatant penalty.

 

Oh come on!

 

and full body tackle TWICE for tunisia.

 

Oh, another FK that'll end up with zilch. sigh

 

Damnit.

 

I'm here in Japan and they keep playing Tunisia fouls in the box over and over again asking: why no call?

England are doing fine, all they need is this: composure. Then the goals will come.

 

Ref's legally blind or got cateracts or high as a kit.

 

To be fair, referees have been specifically instructed to call the elbows to the face. Tackles are still 'subjective.'

 

Post. Lindgard is everywhere.

 

Just a bit to the left and it'd be a goal. Sigh

 

Brits might regret their lack of efficiency they are miles above

 

Waste of match time with Tunisia letting their guard down. Multiple mistakes done by Tunisia now that they're riding their "high" of tying.

Also BBC presenter may need glasses.

 

Tunisia outclassing England for the past ten minutes.

 

i cant understand how england is not winning this game. Tunisia is as bad as panama....

 

As I said after the first 5min, Dele needs to come off. He has zero reason to be on the pitch with sterling and lindgard on the pitch.

 

Boink off the post

 

pretty good game because both teams are preoccupied with attacking, totally ignoring the defense. That's one thing...

The second thing... Tunisia is pretty good. I think they're the most well boded team coming from Africa. I actually think that they would have been able to advance if they were in France or Russia's group. But both Belgium and England are too talented and in good shape for them.

 

Halftime 1-1.

What will Southgate do to adjust???

 

With body checks, hard defense and whinging.
