I would make extra training sessions explaining offside rule for him by now. ^^ this one was by a toe. first goal was super close too, and the last disallowed one was a different player with a handball. Just plain unlucky imo. xd
I was not 100% serious about this. But I have to admit, every time I watch him play, he plays underwhelming.

ya didn't think you were but tbh I think he's been very good in these two games.

So, there are 3 groups with a reasonable likelihood of the 3rd place team having only 1 or 2 points. (B,C,F) So I would expect any 3 point team to advance, regardless of goal difference. That certainly makes Scotland vs Hungary way more exciting this evening. Hungary now really has something to play for despite their 0 pts, -4GD. And then surely they draw and break everyone's heart :D

Just an FYI about the fantasy league. I used limitless and it ate my 2 transfers from round 1, despite using them as well. Kinda ahitty, but apparently how limitless works. Just a PSA.

ugh first place has a huge lead on us!

I did the other way around. 2 free transf yesterday and today just before the matches i had a feeling and used limitless because i had several players from teams already done.
When using limitless it was already showing my base team with those 2 transf in.
So far it didnt went well. 2 german mids were flops.

Godamnit Scotland! Really though that was a penalty surely?
They’re just so desperate for some real quality up front and out wide, while they have 3 really good full backs. Liam Ferguson AKA Serie A midfielder of the year being injured was a big miss too.
Look at what Wales managed a while back, where I’d say Scotland maybe overall have had stronger squads in recent times they don’t have a difference maker like a Ramsey never mind a Bale. They don’t need a Bale level player, always helps but even some forward players of good Premier League standard, of equivalence to a McGinn would go a long way
Man pretty much since maybe 2002 the three nations I have some connection to (Irelands and Scotland) have been bloody ropey. Suppose one gets used to it
Glad to hear the Hungarian player whose name escapes me is apparently recovering alright, that was a scary moment!

Its sad, especially because the scottish fans are so great and would deserve to be in the cup longer.

Yeah I hope they stay just for the funsies anyway. Saw a report yesterday where some Scottish fans have been drinking a whole days ration of beer in 2-3 hours at one place then hoping to the next place and almost drank that one empty, too. All the while beeing incredible nice and fun.

Attended the Mexico vs Jamaica game this past weekend. First footy for me watching in person which was a blast, especially since it was effectively a Mexico home game.

Yeah i bet that was wild with the Mexicans!

Spain decided to screw any fantasy team completely -.-
And I used limitless to get 3 Spaniards...
|
Hm... now looking at this mess, the only thing that could give me happiness this evening would be Albania and Croatia both winning...
|
Havertz has apparently a xG 1.75... and scored only one goal (the penalty)
Füllkrug has 0.5 xG and scored two goals...

Not as much chanting as you'd see at club level footy but still a pretty cool atmosphere with everyone screaming and shouting when the ball entered the final third.

Is there a bigger scourge to the modern game than fucking handball/penalties in combination?
HE SAVES!

HE SAVES! What would you suggest otherwise? Not giving a 70%+ chance for a goal in a generally low-scoring sport for a ball hitting somebody’s hand when it’s whacked in from a few metres away
Give a penalty if it’s someone blocking a shot that would have been a goal by all means, or a blatant deliberate one. Luis Suarez versus Ghana would be a famous example that ticks both of those boxes
If the difference between giving a penalty and a likely goal against a defender or, nothing is literally often just where on the body a ball hits, reviewed in slow motion after the fact, the balance doesn’t feel right at all
While writing this HOLY SHIT ITALY WHAT DRAMA!
