Bet the Senegalese lads are glad they came back out from the tunnel.
The worst Penenka Iāve seen, glad he missed it, no way was it a pen. Congrats to Senegal
Unreal. Imagine trying a panenka in such a high stakes match at that stage in the game. Madness
Some antics going on the whole way through by the looks of thisā¦

What the heck is going on? AFCONWWE
Looks like the Moroccans acted like total racist thugs
Lovely to see yesterday at kick off the whole Man Utd team walk out with tracksuit tops dedicated to the memory of Mani. Nice touch ![]()
The management havenāt got much right there for the last few years but that was great. ![]()
Great scenes at Benfica last night with the Goalie scoring a 98th min winner against Real Madrid. Always with the drama JosƩ
Amazing scenes!
It was fucking great, love seeing that lot get humbled, bunch of arrogant entitled bellends.
I was really hoping the Bodo fairytale run was gonna continue in the CL but it looks like Sporting have turned it around.
See Italy didnāt qualify for the World Cup last night again! Just doesnt feel right without them involved! Fair play to Bosina and Herzegovina for qualifying and winning on penalties though.
Such a disaster for a big football nation like Italy. Three World Cups in a row they havenāt qualified for. Wild
Its a shame the Irish and Italians wont be there since its in the US
Usual pre tournament doom setting in for England. Canāt see us getting past the Quarter Finals
1994 Ray Houghton
v Italy in the USA
Yeah not sure what to make of England. On the one hand we havenāt actually seen the 1st XI play in these friendlies but on the other hand you get the feeling itāll be the same old nonsense regardless. How to break down well organised teams who sit in and hit you on the break (Japan brilliant last night)? England looked toothless without Kane and I suspect set pieces will be key. Feels like a dull grind to the QF and then lose to a decent team. Same old same old.
Am conflicted about the World Cup. Itās increasingly hard to ignore the extreme political backdrop, the corruption, the way charged up fanbases could be more nationalistic/racist than ever (see Spain-Egypt last night for starters⦠+ all the weaponised U-S-A chants bound to eruptā¦) Is sport ultimately PR bullshit when people are being slaughtered? People were happy to boycott South Africa and the USSR in the 80s but not the USA now? It doesnāt add up.
On the other hand, weāre conditioned to putting everything else aside once it begins. The World Cup lifts spirits like nothing else. It makes you feel part of something global, perhaps the only thing that still brings wildly different countries together? We need to cling on to sport as a substitute for war, now more than ever, a distraction from the real-life horrors. You remember the World Cup, where you were, who you were with. You donāt even have to like football, which for better or worse, is what makes it so powerful.
Wonāt be watching this year my personal anti FIFA, anti Trump, anti corruption, anti exorbitant pricing stand. Anyone who gives Trump a made up peace prize can do one.
I notice Italy havenāt qualified for a WC since their compatriot Gianni Infantino slithered his way up Trumpās anal tract, sorry I mean took over as head of FIFA, surely proof of some kind of karmic justice from the footballing gods.
