The only good reason for watching BBC coverage goes with them 🙁

Damnit! Henry's punditry's been great, I love how frustrated he gets when he doesn't agree with one of the others. Savage must be relieved.

Thierry improved with games, I thought he was a little bit boring initially.
Savage is diabolical.

GaelForce

Yeah he hasn't said much of real value, but he's charismatic and clearly watches enough football to know all the players well. He's obviously the sort of guy who will never leave the game, expect he'll be a manager pretty quickly after retiring.

y va marquer

Yeah, he seemed well fed about having to leave while the WC was going on too.

Bold Tone

Seedorf has been the star.
Typically opinionated Dutchman who clearly knows his stuff, articulates it well and never follows the crowd. The other day Henry started backing down after lineker and shearer/hansen ganged up on him but Seedorf resolutely took up Henry's point and the others backed down.

Fabio's been ok it's just his command of English ain't great

Bold Tone

Not sure which team to support though i'm liking the mutual shitty defending.

y va marquer

I find it hard to get into games when I'm not willing one team to win, or when I don't have a reason for badly wanting one of them to lose.
Somebody here needs to start playing some great stuff, or commit a crime against football or something.

Lukaku's bang average

Biggus

LOL Slimani channeling Diego.

y va marquer

Blimey. Algeria banging goals in.

Biggus

The introduction said that Algeria has scored more from long balls than any other country in the qualfiers, that first goal was well worked.

lorddulaarsenal

Blimey the Algo's are on fire

What the hell? I was expecting a boring 0-0 so I decided to skip the game.

ElGeniodeOviedo

Korean defense is just physically dominated by the Algerian striker. Midfield has been sloppy and Korean wide players are just dribbling into cul de sacs constantly

spacemanspiff

happy for my algerian pals - they've been impressive today and were decent enough against the Belgians.

You can't do that Nela, what makes football and in particular the World cup so addictive is everyone has an opinion but no one really knows what will happen.

Thats why football is a metaphor for life.

Nela

That's true. 🙂

Although I'm still glad I skipped Nigeria-Iran the other day.

Biggus

For all the talk about technique heat and pace, this Algerian team are Jack Charltons Rep of Ireland- They are destroying Sth Korea by out running out muscling them with long balls and set pieces. 😆

GooneriC

Dont think Korea expected the hard approach from Algeria , physically dominated in that half
