Useless refereeing
Saliba has been good. Kante still producing, what an engine.
Mbappe looks like he's got a broken nose, ouch.
Anyone going to go for Kante this summer? Still looks worth a punt at his age, although perhaps being in that Saudi league saved his legs.
Anyone else think is was incredibly stupid and childish for Mbappe to walk back on to the pitch without being waved on and sitting down again? Completely deserved yellow.
USArsenal No I thought it was terrible officiating from the 4th official and the ref to create the situation in the first place. Mbappe was sent back on by his manager and did what he was told. They were in the right too IMO, the situation was ridiculous.
i thought it was pretty smart. his nose was broken and the ref didn't allow his replacement to come on so he said fuck it and went back on the pitch. what's a yellow card to a forward.
Gurgen What a weird statement to make.
est What's weird about it? Obviously a joke, but I thought it quite ironic that the racist papers used Saka as the face of the friendly defeat and then Jude, Saka and Guehi kill it in the next game while the likes of Foden and Kane stink the place up.
Thought it was brow-raising as well
MistaT how about the fact that he scored 2 goals in close to 3 years for France? 1 in a friendly game and 1 in 4-0 win. They have so many better options, so many.
Gurgen and the English media spent a lot of time after the match talking about "how can we do more to help Foden play well". Who cares, you have Saka and Bellingham playing well, get someone else in there and feed Kane if you want to bring someone into the game.
Gurgen Fair enough. I missed the irony.
Qwiss It's so entrenched as well you had Micah trying to say that and Cesc of all people calling it bs. Such a weird dynamic all around. And then you got very little attention given to Rice, who essentially had to babysit Trent in midfield.
FEBravo I watched ITV last night and they had a compilation with a weird voice over and it was talking about how great Trent was. He gave the ball away 11 times and made around half the passes Rice made.
Mbappe out of the group stages, needs surgery on his nose.
JazzG Where are you getting this? L'Equipe saying he doesn't need surgery and others reporting he may wear a mask. He may not be available for Friday but this is the first I hear of surgery and him being out. It's huge news obviously so please share more!
I saw this on my timeline but I've done a search and have seen a most people say surgery not required.
Looking at the state of his nose I would have thought he would need surgery, otherwise could end up with a Steve Bruce nose!
Georgians really letting the Caucasus down
Gurgen should be 2-1 up
Jinxed them into playing well
